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 got the second pattern repeat done on the front of my sweater. My thumb was being very painful at the start but improved by the time I was halfway.

You seem to be steaming along with this sweater - it doesn't feel like it was that long ago you started it.

I feel more like I'm plodding along slowly. I started it on August 24th, so it's already been almost 5 weeks, slower than the last two since there's so much still to do. It'll probably be another 3 weeks minimum before it's finished

Well done on the sweater progress. Hope your thumb is okay.

Thanks. It'll survive. Arthritis is a b***h, but keeping it working helps.

You have my understanding on the arthritis front. It’s irritating when it hinders what you have planned but you’re right to keep it working so long as it isn’t making the pain worse.

I started developing arthritis in my mid-thirties, so I'm sort of used it by now. It's not severe, but my fingers are getting wonky. That's why I'm determined to keep my hands active.

I hope when work hours aren't so long you'll be more able to indulge in other crafts. In the meantime, at least you have your stitching.

I've also written my monthly Crafting blog post, with completed projects and in progress projects here
