Check-In Post - May 24th 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!

Today I helped my kiddo make four origami heart cards (billed as Victorian heart cards but whatever) to use as thank you cards re: her birthday presents. Also I watched a bunch of videos about exercises and stretches to do to alleviate ulnar wrist pain in service of crocheting further. Also I found an old stash of fabric and might use it to try out the twist box patterns I got. They won’t be pretty but at least I’ll know how to do them. Gonna try to get stuff for at least one of those cut out tonight.

Those sound cute for thank you cards!

Good luck with the exercises, hope you found some that will help you.

Have fun with testing out the twist box patterns. Always a good idea to try things like that out first on fabric that doesn't matter.

Hope you find some good exercises.
