We've all done it. Grabbed that yarn because it was on sale or looked amazing in the shop, and now it's just... sitting there judging you. Maybe it's a pink so aggressively bright it needs its own sunglasses, or a muddy green you were convinced you'd use. The UFO pile is real and the regret stash is even more real. Drop your regret colour in the comments — oh, and do tell us what you were thinking at the time.

We're so pleased you're here, @Mirijam Pasquini — 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.
