Check-In Post - Feb 15th 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!

Ten rows on the shortest arm warmer, so they're finally the same length. Now to decide if they're long enough if whether to add another 10 rows.

[wiseheart]

That is an important question!

[badly_knitted]

It is, but I'll decide tomorrow. Maybe.

[spiralicious]

Woot! Well done.

I made a peanut butter traybake. Does it count? Especially as it is yummy?

[spiralicious]

Yesterday, I went to dollar tree in hopes that they still had wooden plaques my friend and I could use for stuffed animal taxidermy. They did not, but I did find small wooden cutting boards that would suit the purpose. While I was there, I also found some knitting themed bracelet charms and tiny gummy bear shaped beads.

Today, I got everything ready to go to Lynne's tomorrow. Friday I forgot to mention that the library still had pop out heart Valentines kits that they have been giving out every Valentines since 2020 and I grabbed 2, thinking that Lynne and I might make those instead of the pink butterfly cards this week. I've added them to the bag and we'll see how things go tomorrow.

I was hoping to get 6 rows on the cable blanket knitted tonight after dinner to get caught back up, but I cut my finger earlier so I'm not sure now.
