Check-In Post - Feb 8th 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!

Managed 50 rows on the first arm warmer. Yay?

[wiseheart]

Well, it is definitely progress. *g*

[badly_knitted]

Quite a bit! I can knit on it while watching War of the Worlds every evening =D

My politically incorrect, horribly garish elephant plushie has reached the stage when all I have to do is to finish sewing it together and stuffing it. I could have finished, hadn't I had to fight the vicious thread I managed to get at TEDI. Note to myself: never buy cheap thread again. The struggle with the useless stuff isn't worth the money I saved

[badly_knitted]

Cheap thread is horrible. Sorry you're struggling with it.

8 more rows on the blanket: 116/151 complete!

[badly_knitted]

WOOHOO! You're absolutely racing along!

curtain swatch finished! \o/ idk how to embed a pic, so gyazo link

the math says it's gonna be 589 stitches and 115 rows (not counting edging) x_x

also. it's gonna be an absurd amount of thread... considerably more expensive than anticipated whoops lol

still waiting on the thread I ordered to get here (it's So Much and yet probably not enough) so I'm also gonna make a test/sample-length of the edging I want to use on the bottom
