Check-In Post - May 14th 2025

Hello to all members, passers-by, curious onlookers, and shy lurkers, 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.


This Week's Question: Do you change crafts with the season or stick to the same crafts year round?


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!

I finished the third row of scales and started the lattice for the fourth row. This is a sort of eyeball it and decide in the moment project, but it's working up at about a third of the size of normal scales so I may end up needing around 27 rows of scales, as opposed to a typical bag's nine.

I sighed up for this come hell or high water though bc I have a vision, so it will be done.

Well done on your progress and RIP for the seam ripper.

Excellent! That's a lot of rows of scales, but you can do it!

Alas poor seam ripper, it was a good one until it strayed.

Good luck with the scale bag! It sounds like it'll be awesome for reals.

(Poor ripper. In pace requiescat)
