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!

Another 20 rows done.

I've been searching through patterns for my next project, I have some dark red DK I want to use. I've found some great patterns, but nothing exactly right yet for this particular yarn. I want something lacy I think, since the last red sweater I did is cabled, but I've got a lot of very interesting cable patterns... It's so hard to choose!

[smallhobbit]

Decisions, decisions! That's always the way - if you want to have a lacy pattern it's the cable ones which appeal.

[badly_knitted]

I know, and I'm so fickle, lol! I just don't want anything as complicated as the one I'm knitting.

[peaceful_sands]

Ooh tricky decisions ahead. Good luck on finding the perfect pattern.

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! I've got so many to look through, you'd think I could find exactly what I want...

[peaceful_sands]

Sometimes having lots to choose from makes those decisions harder.

[badly_knitted]

So true. I like having lots of choice, but it complicates matters.

[wiseheart]

The Germans have a saying about this: who's got a choice has got the pain. Of course, in German it sounds better: "Wer die Wahl hat hat die Qual". *g*

[badly_knitted]

It's a very appropriate saying *grins*

[medievalrosalie]

Dark red is such a nice colour. Anything you make from it will be pretty!

[badly_knitted]

True, but I want the pattern to show up and a lot of stitches wouldn't on a darker colour.
