Check-In Post - June 9th 2025

[badly_knitted]

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!

still working on i-cord one of two. they just take a while, being fiddly little bastards and all. The rhythm is clicking better but I still hate this <3

[badly_knitted]

You can do it! And when they're done you can go back to the fun part of making your dice bag.

I'm sorry it isn't more enjoyable, but finding a rhythm must be a relief!

I-cords are a bummer! Are you using dpns/circulars or the spool?

[fadingfootsteps]

Crochet =)

The gist: You can do it. It extra sucks compared to knitting because this really isn't meant to be done as crochet tbh but it's doable if you have infinite patience (I do. I have equal wrath and spite as well).

Interesting, I haven't seen that technique before!

Kudos to you for doing the fiddly bit!
