Check-In Post - June 10th 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!

More Rooster progress. He has a tail and most of his body. Working my way up the neck. I thought I'd made a mistake at one point and spent ages trying to figure out where I was and what I'd done. No mistake though. Not sure what made me think there was.

Here are the promised pics of the gifts I gave to my friends...

Oh, those are really pretty!

Thank you! I love the Stone Henge design, it turned out very pretty.

[marinarusalka]

Oh wow, these are so pretty!

Thank you! The Stone Henge design is stitched on 20 hpi aida, so it took a lot of hours work. The coaster was done in a couple of days, but the recipient loved it, which is the important thing.

Aww, the Tea Time is sweet, and WOW THAT STONEHENGE IS AMAZING! Well done!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! The Stone Henge is the biggest piece I've stitched in quite a while, so I'm really pleased with how well it turned out. It's such a beautiful design.

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! I was so pleased the Stonehenge one came out so well

[yarnandglue]

Ooh, I really like the Stonehenge!

Thank you! It's on 20hpi fabric, well over 15k stitches, and took weeks, but I think the effort was worthwhile.
