Hello to all members, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


Today's Question: No question today.


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

Hello and welcome to the community! It's lovely to have a new member.

I took up knitting myself last November for the first time in ten years, but it's surprising how quickly it all comes back.

Congratulations on your progress with your vest. Sounds like your aunt is very handy to have around to help out when you need it. My mum taught me to to knit, a VERY long time ago, then ended up coming to me for knitting advice. It's always good to have someone with more experience you can turn to if you get stuck.

What colour is your vest? And is it plain or patterned? Enquiring minds want to know! *grins*

Thank you for the welcome! :D

I am making this vest, but in blue The green in the picure gives the wrong inpression, it's just blue, with some ligher blue in parts. If anything it is more grey than green.

It's good to have my aunt around, and when she is unsure we can call up her sister/my other aunt for help as well :D I hope to become better and more independent, but I am happy with how the vest looks and I have done most on my own.

And Ianto-icon :D :D Love him!

I like the pattern, and what lovely wool. Your vest should look really good when finished.

That's cute, loks like it'll be very comfy to wear, anfd the yarn is lovely.

It's great you have two aunts to call on! Knitting must run in the family *grins*

Oh, I'm a huge Ianto fan. Jack too. I love my boys, still writing in the fandom.
