As our community continues to grow, it’s important to me that we protect what makes this space special — supportive, safe, and focused on Circular Machine Knitting. Because of that, I’m excited to officially welcome four new admins to our team: ✨ @Julie Findleton ✨ @Paul Brown ✨ @Suzane Mesheau ✨ @Ruby Dack They’ve generously stepped in to help support the community in some very important ways, including: • Keeping the community safe by removing scammers, spammers, and anyone here with the wrong intentions • Hosting Crafting Hours • Answering questions and offering support • Helping new members feel welcomed and encouraged This step allows me to stay focused on creating patterns, courses, challenges, and content — while knowing the heart of this community is being well cared for. 💬 A quick note from my heart: If you’re reading this and wondering, “What about me?” — please know this is not a closed circle. As we continue to grow, I fully expect to expand the team again. There are so many incredible members here, and there will be future opportunities to step into leadership and support roles. Thank you for being part of a community that looks out for one another and helps keep this a place where knitters can learn, grow, and feel at home. With gratitude, Kim 💛🧶

Good morning from the UK 🇬🇧 Good afternoon and good evening to everyone else wherever you are in the world! What do you plan to do with your machines today? My plan today will be to try and get a head start on the mothers day socks I'd like to make. I may even give a hot waterbottle cover a go if I get a chance!

Knitting first appeared in England during the 13th century in the form of felted caps that were worn by soldiers and sailors. However, knitting did not become a popular method of garment construction due to the difficulty of producing quality steel needles.
