Hello to all members, passers-by, curious onlookers, and shy lurkers, 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!

Hello, lovely crafters! Welcome to our daily check-in post, where you can tell everybody all about your most recent progress (or lack thereof). Feel free to also chat with other members and generally enjoy yourself!

Check-in is not compulsory, you decide if and when to take part in these posts.


Today's optional question:
Is there any craft you tried out thinking you'd enjoy it, only to find out you don't? Or the other way around, is there a craft you tried for some reason, thinking it'd be a one-time thing, but that turned out to be something enjoyable?


If you have questions or suggestions about the community, requests for tags, or want to host the daily check-in posts, head over to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment there.

And for an optional question, what about:
What time of the day do you usually work on your crafty projects?

Hi there

babs_bee: (Default)
[personal profile] babs_bee

I'm babs and love knitting. I also spin although my spinning mojo has deserted me for some time. The other two hobbies I have as far as creativity goes are diamond painting and fanfic writing.

Currently I'm working on the Joy Cardigan from Laine magazine. I'm using Brooklyn Tweed Shelter in Artifact which is a lovely dark smoky gray. I just finished another sweater in a chunky weight Shetland yarn from Liverpool Yarns. That sweater is a pullover in a pattern called Shamokin Pullover. I also have finished a poncho in a naturally colored Shetland that self striped.

I enjoy knitting socks, shawls, and lately sweaters (which I always avoided before).

I probably have enough yarn to last for many many years and am on a yarn diet until next spring at least. My fiber stash is also large and I want to really tackle some spinning this winter.

I have some Brooklyn Tweed yarn for another sweater also--Weekender Light. I made the regular Weekender and it is my favorite sweater ever--so comfy. I wouldn't call myself a yarn snob but I do prefer wool over anything else, mainly because the way wool feels when I knit with it--and I prefer non superwash wool over superwash except for socks.
