Check-In Post - Oct 13th 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 cora): What was your last project that got put into "time out" 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!

No crafting today. Some chores, but I frittered the afternoon away reading and watching TV.

I WAS going to do pumpkin photographs, but it was such a gloomy, grey day, the light wasn't good enough.

Let's hope tomorrow the light will be better. I'm sooo looking forward to those pumpkin photos!

We shall see!

Thanks!

Once again back at it on triad blanket #2 - and this project has been in time out for a while because I was so bored of this section and couldn't bring myself to pick it up again. But I realised I only had three more rows to do in it so I've now completed row 42 and get to move on to a new section tomorrow :D

[badly_knitted]

Yay, well done for getting through the boring bit! Hope the next section will be more interesting!

More culinary crafting for me today: I was making Hungarian Christmas candy. Somewhat hilarious details can be read here:

Wooo! Well done, I hope the candy will be tasty!

Done!

I got the half-price sale in Polychrome Heroics posted.

I also potted up some of the groundnut roots.

Re: Done!

[badly_knitted]

Well done!

The second scarf project I could fall back on has an overly complicated pattern that I'll have to follow row by row, have slightly misplaced at the time, and even if I had it on hand, I'm not sure I'd feel up to do it right now.

Oh dear. Maybe you need yet ANOTHER project to work on...
