Check-In Post - Feb 12th 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!

More work on my WiP, which took up most of the afternoon.


Also another 28 rows on arm warmer #2, which means that one is at 84 rows. The first ss only 80 rows. I need them to match. I'll get this one up to 90, then get the other one to the same point, and then... See how much yarn is left, I suppose.

Sounds like steady progress. :)

[badly_knitted]

Yes, I'm surprised how consistent it's been with 28 rows a day. I don't count until I stop knitting, abd every day it's the same number of rows.

Wonderful progress. Good luck on evening up the arm warmers.

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! Probably can't do that while watching my DVDs though...

I am making humidifier mineral catcher thingies because I went to clean the humidifier yesterday and I was out.

Warm enough that I'm airing the house out. Hopefully raining this weekend.

[badly_knitted]

Good luck with your mineral catchers!

Yay for warmer weather! Hope you get your rain. I'd give you some of mine if I could. Surplus to requirements.

Well done

I was going to say no crafting today, but actually I did a small sticker-by-number heart that came on a cheap box of chocolates.

Now, I need to go prep all the bags for fiber group/work/library returns/shopping/creative cafe as I get no breaks between them all tomorrow.

I am considering bringing a smaller alternative project to fiber group tomorrow. On the cable blanket, I have come up on a cable row and I'm not sure I can get it done in the time restraints of the group meeting before I have to run off to work. I'm just not sure what yet. It will likely be an unfinished wash cloth or the scarf I still have so, so many ends to weave in on.

[badly_knitted]

So a little bit of crafting!

Good luck getting your bags ready. Probably best not to take the blanket on a cable row, you don't want to get halfway and run out of time. Might be a good time to make progress on the scarf. Good luck whatever you pick.
