Check-In Post - June 13th 2025


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: We all probably have multiple WiPs, but which of yours has been hanging around longest, waiting to be finished?


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!

Worked a motif on the capybara.

I had started Alphi's second boot (and wrote up the pattern for it) a few days ago, but I didn't finish it. I potentially have ADHD which means I am one of those people who thinks tasks are finished early and can't do the "cleaning up" part, so when I stopped knitting on it, I just dropped it on my bed and moved it around from bed to chair back to bed for a few days. Two of the DPNs have since fallen out from the moving, and I am cross. Thinking of pulling it out (I hadn't gotten far) and starting his white tunic instead.

So, I'm sitting here mentally knitting in my head, trying to figure out the tunic. I may need to do +shudders+ a BOX PLEAT. But I'm not sure yet - the promotional art sorta makes it look less like a pleat and more like three separate pieces that are sewn together? So I might do that instead.... yeah, I'm probably being ridiculous, converting a "sewn" item to knitting, but it wouldn't be the first time I did it.

Gotta put laundry in dryer now, and then I will do some more thinking... and maybe even some knitting, we'll see.

I think the bottom of the tunic is split, and then the extra rectangle is add d behind to make what looks like a pleat.

Yay for progress on the capybara! You can do it!

I would cry if the needles fell out for reals.

Convert if it works for you and if it's not the first time you've done it and it worked... why not! :)
