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!

Between K-dramas the last couple of days and D&D tonight, I finished the yoke and one sleeve of the toddler sweater I'm making and I'm about a quarter of the way through the second sleeve. It's just a plain knitted raglan sweater, so nothing fancy, and when I don't have a toddler crawling on me, I can go pretty fast, but doing the sleeves on double-pointed needles is kind of slowing me down.

Is this one where you work from the top downwards? I've never knitted a raglan sweater that way but I've heard of it being done.

Anyway, terrific progress. Sounds like it won't take you all that long to finish it!

I've only ever made a sweater top-down before. /shrug

I'm very much a beginner at knitting, so there is that.

Thank you! I hope to get it done soon.

All depends on the pattern and what you're used to.

You seem to be doing really well with your knitting.

Is the sweater for your own toddler?

Ah but the Toddler Life is the best in the world. They're so interested in everything.

Mostly she just likes it when I cuddle her, so I have learned to sort of knit with her on my lap.
