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.


This Week's Question: What do you wish you could get right first time, every time?


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 don’t know why but broadband phone wrangling is as exhausting as every phone call I’ve ever made to gov departments notorious for being awful. Fingers crossed.

Hope you feel better soon.

You are not the only one. I hope things turn out well for you.

I have the granny squares for a small bag and the first swatch for a crochet cardigan on a blocking board.

Last weekend my husband and I helped a local friend move out of her flat at short notice. I don’t do manual labour* so my husband carried things and my job was to ensure our disabled friend didn’t try to help. I did not expect that job to be so hard haha. I have been working on a sock while I rest.

*can’t do

I made a matching skirt and sleeveless blouse. That's another nice summer 'suit' for my wardrobe. I have about a metre of fabric left over, so I'm mulling over what to make with it.

You'll come up with something creative, I'm fairly sure of that.
