Saturday Celebration - Leaderboard Results One of my favorite things to celebrate each week is our Leaderboard winners — not because of points alone, but because those points represent something much bigger. They represent: • Questions asked • Encouragement given • Projects shared • Kindness shown • Time spent helping others Points are earned here by contributing to the community — through posting, liking, and commenting — and these members have gone above and beyond. 🌟 Our Top Contributors This Week Are: @Chris Muggleton @Janie Dillon @Dd Stoller @Angela Skelton @Susan Sams @Miranda Robinson @Christine Wharton @Tina Bryner @Brenda Lonsdale @Ashley Busby @June E Mackenzie @Barbara Sneed @Amanda Berridge 💛 Why This Matters This community thrives because people show up — not perfectly, but consistently. Every comment, every like, every shared win or struggle helps create a space where learning feels safe and supported. If you’d like to see your name on next week’s leaderboard, keep doing what you’re already doing: ✔ Post ✔ Comment ✔ Encourage ✔ Participate I’m so grateful for each and every one of you who helps make this community such a joy to be part of. 🧶💛

Today, I want to recognize a very special group of members who are truly keeping this community moving. These are our Momentum Makers on Fire — members who have earned the 🔥 fire icon beside their name by taking 10+ actions a day for 30 days or more, through liking, commenting, and posting. That kind of consistency doesn’t happen by accident. It means you’re: • Showing up regularly • Encouraging others • Asking thoughtful questions • Sharing your journey • Helping make this community a safe and supportive place to learn 👏 Let’s give a huge shoutout to our Momentum Makers on Fire: •@Julie Findleton •@Suzane Mesheau •@Paul Brown •@Chris Muggleton @Janie Dillon @Dd Stoller @Angela Skelton @Susan Sams @Miranda Robinson @Christine Wharton @Tina Bryner @Amanda Berridge @Katherine Freemanfahrig •@Stefanie Byrd @Zona Taylor @Caroline Fransz @Helen Michelle If you are a Fire Icon member and I have not mentioned you please let me know. I have to manually track who has it and if I missed you I apologize. You may not realize it, but your daily engagement creates momentum for everyone else — especially for those who are just starting and still finding their confidence.

One of the things I never wanted this community to become was a one-person show. The strongest communities grow because members step up, support others, and help shape the culture. That’s why we have created something special inside our community. ✨ The CMK Inner Circle What the CMK Inner Circle Represents The CMK Inner Circle is made up of members who have demonstrated: • Consistent participation • Helping other members • Encouraging the community • Sharing knowledge and wins • Supporting the positive culture we’ve built together These members are not just participants. They are leaders within the community. What Inner Circle Members Do Members of the CMK Inner Circle help: • Welcome new members • Encourage and support other knitters • Share ideas and feedback on community initiatives • Help maintain the friendly, supportive environment we value Many of them are also part of the moderator team, helping keep things running smoothly.
