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!

Yesterday the cross stitch kit I'd bought arrived with lots of cards etc to make for Christmas - I know, it's early, but it will take me time to make things and anyway it's lovely just looking at all the threads and ribbons etc.

Then today the wool for granddaughter's cardigan arrived and I have knitted the first 8 rows of rib in pink wool.

Exciting. Mention of that particular time of the year is a little daunting as there are a number of things I hope to get done beforehand and I think I’ve left it too late to do them all, so IMHO it’s not too early to start at all. Plus ribbon and thread what’s not to enjoy?

I want to finish stitching a coaster before I start with the pack, so it's at the lovely 'all the possibilities' stage.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

That sounds like fun.

[smallhobbit]

I'm looking forward to it.

[badly_knitted]

Oooh, you have lots of new things to play with then!

Yes, making anything for Christmas requires an early start, that's why cross stitch magazines always publish the seasonal charts well in advance. Hope you have fun with all your knitting and stitching!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you. I shall be doing small items, but hopefully there will be a number of them, so I need to make a start.

You'll be a busy beaver for the next few months!

I love a new kit! So much potential! Have fun with it!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you :)

You can't start early enough for Christmas. I'm already in serious delay, myself, but this building insulation business overthrew all my carefully-laid plans. *sigh*

A pink wool cardigan sounds awesome.

[smallhobbit]

That's decidedly frustrating.

Pink with rainbow stripes and unicorns!
