Check-In Post - Dec 24th 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: What are your crafting goals for 2026?


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 knitted maybe 10 centimeters of scarf on the train then, 10 minutes before arriving at the last stop, I realized that 1) I was one stitch short in one of my stripes so it was narrower than the other three, 2) I was using the wrong ball of black yarn, it's thicker and I don't have a replacement at hand in the usual thickness. Gah.
Well. At least it kept me occupied during the journey and I have... more yarn of different colours... at my parents'? I think..? probably I'll find something else to busy myself with during the holidays and on the return trip and it's a problem for later anyway?
(Also, I got lots of compliments re: my knitted jumper ♥)

Oh no! Still, at least the scarf kept you occupied, even if it isn't going to plan.

Yay for compliments on your jumper!

Oh so annoying for your scarf!
