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!

The pink sweater is finished and I've turned my attention to finishing the sewing up on the red cabled sweater. This time I'm determined to get it finished.

Now to try embedding pictures...

Both are lovely! You did excellent work on these.

[badly_knitted]

Thank you!

Just got to finish sewing up the red one. I'm halfway down the second sleeve seam at present.

The pink sweater is lovely - such an intricate pattern, it looks really good in the pale pink. And I like the red cable sweater too, also a very good match of colour and pattern.

I wear a lot of both red and pink. I wanted something light and airy for the pink though, and red goes well with cables ;)

Thank you!

[darkcedars]

Those are great! Also you can say you finished two adult sweaters within a week (laughs).

Thank you!

Heeee! Finished, but not made. I used to knit a lot faster when I had fewer distractions (before I got connected to the internet). I ned to get faster again before I have several projects I want to knit.

Oh very nice!! The patterns are lovely!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! I'm very pleased with the results.

Gorgeous knits! Well done you and great to see the finished product at long last!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! The red one wasn't quite finished, I still had seams to sew, but it was finished enough. Red is so difficult to photograph, I struggled to get it so the pattern showed clearly.
