Check-In Post - June 10th 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!

Waiting impatiently for more yarn to arrive for Alphi. I ordered it from Hobbii, first time ordering from there, and everyone must've decided to try ordering from them now that JoAnn is closed because I got TWO apologetic emails from them, once because of a delay in the shipping due to warehouse being overwhelmed, and another saying one of the colors I ordered (not for Alphi, for a different product) was out of stock and here's a coupon if you want to order it later once it's back in stock. I got the shipping notice on Saturday. It is now Tuesday, and tracking STILL says "Label Created, not yet in system", grrr.

I'm kind of listless today. I did some a bit on the cardi, listening to an audiobook, but then was interrupted by mom coming home with groceries and I always get them out of the car and put them away for her. Once that task was done, I went back to my room and was like... eh... don't feel like finishing the chapter/crocheting more.

I then started a motif for the capybara, but the yarn is super slippery and the skein keeps falling apart leading to the need to untangle and I've just about had enough of that, so quit on the second round of the motif.

I'd like to finish Alphi's second boot, or finally place his hair, but I'm feeling pressured to do PRODUCTIVE STUFF like LOOK FOR A JOB or STUDY CODING, which would be fine except I'm also really resisting doing those things because they scare me. So what I am doing instead is sitting in a ball of nervous energy and refreshing Bluesky and Dreamwidth over and over, bleh.

Sorry for the difficult day. Also yeah it sounds like Hobii is getting overwhelmed. I ordered from there a while back but haven’t tried the yarn yet. Hope your order arrives soon!

I've been looking at Hobbii but I'm a bit nervous about ordering anything from overseas given the current political climate in the US... :/

Yeah, I don't blame you. I'm not sure I would have ordered if I had remembered they were international. I was rather surprised when the tracking (which is finally working) said it originated in Denmark.
