Check-In Post - Aug 20th 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: Share your favourite crafting tip, if you have one.


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!

I've been home almost a week and no crafting happened yet--curse that two-week unpaid internship that eats up all my time & energy--but I checked: as I thought the green wool I got during my vacation is the right hue but the blue one is too dark; they had the one I needed too but only sold this one by bags of 10 balls and I only wanted a couple so I took my pick among what they had loose. It's still ok, I planned on doing horizontal stripes in different colours anyway.

Good that the blue will work even though it's not the right shade.

Sorry to hear that you haven't had the time and energy for crafting, but hopefully once you finish the internship you'll be able to get back to being crafty.
