A huge shoutout to some incredible members who've climbed the leaderboard this week! 🧶 @Sandra Falinska – new to the community and already at level 2! Don't forget to claim the free gift for level 2 in the classroom. 🧶 @Glenna James – now at Level 2! Woohoo 🎉 have you claimed your free gift in the classroom? 🧶 @Mirijam Pasquini – now at Level 3! That was quick Mirijam - have you checked out the dynamic pattern for level 3 in the classroom yet? 🧶 @Gayle Lunau Sherman & @Debra Verrall - woohoo, your both at Level 4. Have you tried the level 4 free gift - the colour wheel checker? You'll find it in the classroom. Each of you has earned your free gift for reaching these milestones — well deserved! 🎁 But honestly, the badges only tell half the story. What really stands out is how much you've shown up for this community — answering questions, cheering each other on, sharing your makes, and helping newer members feel welcome. That's the stuff that makes MkH what it is. So thank you — not just for knitting your way up the leaderboard, but for being the kind of members who make this a place people want to stick around in. Keep going, keep making, keep showing up for each other. 💛 Who's next to level up? Drop a comment and let's celebrate you too!

We made it! However your week's gone — full-on, quiet, a bit of both — I hope you've got something nice planned for the next couple of days. I'd love to know: what's been the highlight of your week? Big or small, doesn't matter. And if this week's been more "just about survived it," that counts too — no judgement here, we've all had those weeks. A little shoutout to: @Debra Verrall did you finish that ton of work to before you went to bed? @Gayle Lunau Sherman how are you getting on with your sweater? Oh, and did you check out the beginners start here module? @Mirijam Pasquini did you resolve your foil problem? @Joy Green did you try out more lace patterns on your machine? @Glenna James how's your vintage pattern hunting going? You can always ask inside this community - pop a post and use the category questions. @Donna Mnisi have you checked out the classroom yet? The beginners start here is the best place to learn the basics. @Auli Takala what's on your knitting needles this week? I hope @June E Mackenzie is enjoying her holiday! @Jane Harbison how's your week gone? Any highlights for you? @Lindsay MacGregor I know you're having some time away at the moment, but I just wanted to check in with you and ask how your week's gone? It's not always about the knitting. @Suzanne Bell I know life is hectic for you at the moment, but just wanted to say hi and I hope you're week's getting a bit calmer for you. @Claire Amelia how's the chickens and the ducks after the sad event this week?

Go on then... is it "cosy"? "Chaos"? "Yarn explosion"? 😂 Drop your one word below — let's see how everyone's Sunday setup is looking! 👇

Can I show you my latest project—a pair of wrist warmers for my friend’s grandma? Since her arthritis is getting worse, she asked me to make her a pair of wrist warmers. She picked the green because it goes so well with her favorite sweater… 😅 The colored stripe breaks up the green a bit… it makes it a little more charming I would’ve chosen a different color, but she absolutely loves it…

We're so pleased you're here, @Sandra Falinska and @Ruby Dack — we hope you settle in quickly and feel right at home. A couple of things to get you started: 𝗦𝗮𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼 — introduce yourself in the community: Introduce Yourself 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝘁 — when you're ready, head to the beginner module I've put together especially for new machine knitters: Begin Your Machine Knitting Journey And you won't be on your own — there are plenty of other newbie members in MkH who are right there alongside you. 🧶 You'll also find a 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 section in the Classroom if you'd like to get the lay of the land first — and if you ever have a question, there's a dedicated questions category in the community posts. Clear instructions on how to post are in the Start Here module, so you're never left guessing. Welcome aboard — and remember, the more you engage, the more MkH grows around your machine knitting journey. 🧶
