Check-In Post - Feb 6th 2026

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 is your favourite thing to make?


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!

Another craftless day, although I did pick out a nice yarn to knit my friend another pair of arm warmers. Yes, I know, all the things I need to work on and I'm planning more arm warmers. At least they aren't for me.

And you can make them with your eyes closed. *g*

[badly_knitted]

Well, I can make them while doing other things at least...

[sister_raphael]

But you got yarn... so... that's a win.

[badly_knitted]

I have SO MUCH yarn, lol!

4 more rows on the blanket: at 102/151 rows complete!

[wiseheart]

Wow! You have the bigger part behind you!

[badly_knitted]

Wheee! You're really motoring now!

[sister_raphael]

I took out the elephant plushie again. It has now both ears and both eyes and I'm working on its accessoires in the hope to finish it during the weekend. Or not. We'll see.

[badly_knitted]

Good luck with the elephant! I'm sure it will be lovely.

[sister_raphael]

Elephant plushie sounds pretty cute! I'll have to scroll back and find your first bits about it. I'm a bit behind still.

Did a bunch of Australian publisher things yesterday and more semi-precious stone beads arrived so I can get onto making those in the near future. Lots to wrangle and glad it's the weekend.

[badly_knitted]

Good luck with the publishing things, and with making more paternosters!
