Hello to all members, 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.


Today's Question: What was the last thing someone made for you?


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 got started on a pair of mittens. This pattern here. So far it's a relaxing pattern to work on, and I got really caught up in it, but I was sitting in a bad position and by the time I finally stopped and got up my neck was incredibly sore... (It even made a scary cracking noise...) I really need to start sitting in better positions when doing any crochet or knitting.

> What was the last thing someone made for you?
I don't think anybody ever made anything for me, which is kind of sad, in hindsight. But when I was working at the local elementary school I got tons of drawings from the kids, which was always nice. It kind of counts, right?

Oooh, they look cosy! I'm a sucker for cables, I love them.

I know how that feels. I have problems with my neck, the cracking and crunching can be quite alarming, and mine gets especially sore when I'm sewing up, because I have to look down at my work in my lap. There has to be a better position but I haven't found it >.<

That's so sad! Now I want to make something for you. I could send you a cross-stitched card!

Getting drawings from kids is always rewarding.
