Check-In Post - Oct 3rd 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 (courtesy of ysabetwordsmith): For those of us who do yarn crafts, what kinds of yarn do you prefer working with and why?


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 not-crafting today, but I now have heat! Yay!


*sigh* The fire is lit, so now I have to clean it out twice a day, every day, for the next 8 months. It will take a few days for the house to warm up properly, but at least tomorrow when the rain is pouring down, gales blowing, and the temperature barely making 12C if we're lucky, I won't be freezing.

Well, crafting might be easier if your fingers aren’t stiff from cold…

[badly_knitted]

That is true. I'm certainly appreciating the warmth, if not the extra work.

Friend enjoyed his Sushi Scarf, yay! now I'm waiting for a picture of him all wrapped up in it?

Also, little bit by little bit in-between other projects, I just finished my wavy stripes scarf this morning. I think I'll do a triangle next.

Yay, happy your friend is pleased!

Well done for finishing another scarf, and good luck with the next project.
