Check-In Post - Jan 3rd 2026

[badly_knitted]

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!

Knitted 3 of the larger bees last night.


Today, I finished the 6 bee brooches I've been working on, and crocheted another 12 pairs of wings, ready for the next dozen.

Going to knit more larger bees in a few minutes. Done, I knitted another 4.

At this rate, you stand a good chance of making your goal. :)

I'm hoping I can. Still a lot to make though!

[spiralicious]

I have faith in you!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks!

My brain has been kind of all over the place today, so it's been hard to concentrate. I did knit a couple rows on the cable blanket I haven't touched in months.

[badly_knitted]

Well done with blanket progress!

Took me forever to figure out what day it is. The start of the year can be brutal.

Thanks!

So very true.

Crafting goals!! I'll finish my jumper with the pretty merinos wool this month, and I want to knit a headband to keep my ears warm.

Those ate excellent goals! Good luck with them!
