Hello to all members, 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.


Today's Question: No question today.


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!

Yesterday my crewelwork kit showed up just before lunch. At lunch I unpacked it and started stitching. I stitched on and off through the afternoon while I worked (I’m in a very “thinkie” section right now, so lots of pausing between typing), and on and off into the evening between other tasks.

It’s a very relaxing, simple kit. Only three colors (main color and a couple of shading tones, all stem stitch. Easy to pick up and put down. The sense of accomplishment is great compared to the long slog that has been the baby dragon cross stitch.

I’m already learning a lot about wool embroidery thread compared to cotton/etc!
