Check-In Post - Jan 28th 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!

Better weather today, we actually had some sunshine. Managed to stitch wings on 12 bees.

I'm wondering whether I should add "sew additional pockets unto my labcoat, the three it came with might not be enough" to my crafting goals..?

[badly_knitted]

Well, if you don't have enough pockets, that's not good, so if you need more, maybe you should.

[darkcedars]

That's great.

I'm having a vision of the whole inside lined with pockets and your labcoat weighs 50 pounds. XD

Working on a beanie with the new wool I bought the other day. Thinking of a neck gaiter (small cowl) to go with it.

[badly_knitted]

Sounds like that would be cosy!

Thanks!

Go you!
