Check-In Post July 24th 2021

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!

I decided to start a kit I was given for my birthday to stitch your own coasters. It uses wool on a plastic-like grid, so not really my prefered medium. Plus the pattern repeats all the way, rather than having much variety. And it's shades of black, grey and cream. I can see myself going freestyle instead. And maybe introducing other wool...

You can let your imagination loose, make your own completely unique coasters instead of following the pattern, maybe use up some wool oddments. Do whatever strikes your fancy!

That was the decision I was rapidly coming to - far more fun that way!

Improvisation is good!

The colours don't seem very cheerful, so improvising might help.

I shall include little patches of colour.
