Check-In Post - May 23rd 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: We all probably have multiple WiPs, but which of yours has been hanging around longest, waiting to be finished?


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!

Wrist is still hurting (I am annoyed by this), and after a busy and exciting day (Boo was very excited for her sixth birthday, and Little Sister was quite excited to share in the new bounty of toys, mostly from the grandmas), I needed some crafting to decompress, so I did another thread on the punch needle kit. The colors are sorted into pre-cut lengths of embroidery thread, so I can just do a single length and call it good. It's sort of color-by-numbers, so I'm doing one color at a time to make things easier for myself.

Sounds like you need some wrist physiotherapy exercises. I injure my wrists a lot, they're weak, so I have exercises I can do that help. Maybe you can find some online.

Yay for a good birthday for Boo. Also yay for punch needle progress!

What is a punch needle kit?

It’s kind of like embroidery? Or making the loops for a rug? Large hollow needle, yarn/thread, making a picture on a canvas
