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!

With knitting, I've always picked a pattern I liked, then figured out how to actually do the stitches as I went. I think embroidery is rather more complex than knitting.
I did design a couple of baby outfits from scratch, and I designed Pierrot motifs for the front, back, and sleeves of a sweater I knitted for myself. The idea came in a dream.

I don’t think embroidery has to be more complex, but I’ve certainly managed to make it be!

Embroidery looks wonderful when it's done right, but I pull threads too tight and I get impatient. Somtimes complex is more fun than simple.
