Knitters, Quilters, Crafters - Interested in a check-in?

With holiday breaks and cold weather upon us, I've been getting excited about starting to do some knitting for BABY.  Would anyone be interested in doing a check-in for crafters?  I'm thinking maybe once or twice a month?  We could share pics or links of any projects that we're working on for baby.

I define crafting REALLY broadly, so I think anyone who's doing anything should participate (painting, murals on nursery walls, etc).  In the check-in, we could include a list of regular participants and Ravelry names or blog links (I don't know if there's a Ravely-esque site for quilters/sewers... so if there is, let me know!).

If you like the idea, please let me know the following...

How often should the check-in be?

Crafts you do (knitting/crochet/sewing/quilting/painting/etc):

Ravelry or Other Crafting site name:

Blog address if you have one:

If there's already something like this check-in going on, my bad!  I'd love to see what others are making though Smile

    I'm definitely excited about crafting for baby!  I bought my first skien of yarn just for a baby project, and I'm pumped to get started!

    How often should the check-in be? On the scale of once or twice a month - I'm a slow worker ;-) Maybe the first and third Mondays? Or whatever day of the week people fancy.  

    Crafts you do (knitting/crochet/sewing/quilting/painting/etc): I knit, aspire to crochet, sew, and try out fun crafts I find on pinterest that are kind of miscellaneous.

    Ravelry or Other Crafting site name: I'm another pinterest lurker for craft ideas. That and the internet at large - nothing in particular.

    I'm a knitter and have been doing several projects for baby so far. :) I made a chevron blanket and just finished a large stuffed owl. Very fun! I'd love to have a check-in, but I don't have a Ravelry account or a blog.

    I crochet, and would love this. Twice a month, possibly?
    I am on ravelry, but I don't want to post my sn because it's my normal one that people IRL know. It would be more of an "ask via pm if interested in it" type deal.

    I love this idea! I've already picked out a pattern for the baby blanket I'm going to make LO.

    Great idea! I already started crocheting hats and booties before I even found out the gender. :
    I've already bookmarked a few online tutorials for things I want to sew nursing cover, and baby sling for starters and plan to sew a crib set too.

    How often should the checkin be? monthly sounds good to me

    I made my youngest daughter a nice warm, flannel rag quilt when she was just a couple months old and she loves it to this day five years later. As soon as I find out whether this is a boy or a girl I'm picking out some material and making one for baby!

     How often should the check-in be? Once a month maybe

    Crafts you do (knitting/crochet/sewing/quilting/painting/etc): Sewing, quilting, beading, jewelry making, and lots of other crafty stuff when I'm in the mood.

    I don't have a Ravelry or blog.

    How often should the check-in be? bi-weekly?

    Crafts you do (knitting/crochet/sewing/quilting/painting/etc): Sew out the wazoo. I do other stuff but I haven't had much time for it recently. Once I start working on the nursery it will be a bit of everything.
