Check-In Post September 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!

Finished the second bobbin, wanted to go on and ply the yarn together but Mr wanted to watch a movie* and I knew the sound of the spinning wheel would bother him so I finished knitting another washcloth instead.

Maybe this weekend!

Ah yes, spinning isn't exactly silent. Here's hoping you get to spin over the weekend!

I find the sound of a spinning wheel soothing, but at least you got other things done!

The Mr is really sensory sensitive* and gets distracted by unrelated sounds. Drives me a bit crazy because I’m a multitasker—especially while watching TV—but I have other quieter crafts I can do ^_^

(*True story: he was complaining to me and some guest recently about how even with his heavy duty work gloves on some things still poked him and he found it uncomfortable and he was like “doesn’t anyone else find this a problem?” and I looked him dead in the eye and said “Almost all of my hobbies involve use of needles.”)

Your poor hubby, being so sensitive must suck at times. I'm thankful that I'm not overly sensitive, considering how often I stab myself with various implements!
