The spindle on my hand-cranked winder is straight so I can just slide the ball of yarn off. How do you remove the yarn from your new machine?

@Louise Brau oops! I meant to direct the question to Kiki who authored this origin post. This is kind of like accidentally clicking "reply all" on a group email. Haha
🎂🔥 DAYS 10 & 11 — I'M BACK! ❤️
Good morning everyone! ❤️🧶 First, thank you for your patience with me yesterday. I ended up sick with viral strep throat, so I took yesterday to rest and our Day 10 Anniversary Challenge post didn't happen. I'm doing a bit better today, and I really appreciate everyone who kept the community going, kept chatting, helping each other and working toward those 100 activities even though I wasn't around. ❤️ And really... that's exactly what a community is supposed to do! So today we're combining... 🔥 DAY 10 + DAY 11! 🔥 Just because I didn't put up our Day 10 post doesn't mean yesterday didn't count! If you completed 100+ activities yesterday, you've earned another qualifying day toward the challenge. And I need your numbers so I can keep tracking everyone! 👇 Please comment with your DAY 10 total: 🔥 Day 10 / Friday — _____ activities Then keep working on Day 11 today, and we'll report those numbers tomorrow! And if you didn't make 100 yesterday, still give me your total. Remember, you have some breathing room built into the challenge. 🆕 NEW HERE? YOU CAN STILL JOIN THE CONTEST! If you've recently joined CMK—or you've been here but haven't started the challenge yet—it's NOT too late to participate! We're counting down to CMK's FIRST BIRTHDAY on October 17th with our 30 Days to ONE Anniversary Engagement Challenge! 🎂🎉 For those who started with us on September 16th, the challenge is: 🔥 Complete 100+ genuine community activities in a day 🔥 Do that on at least 26 of the 30 challenge days 🔥 Qualify for our Anniversary Prize Draw! But here's the important part: You do NOT have to have started on Day 1! If you start later, your requirement is prorated from the day you join the challenge. You are not expected to make up the days you've already missed. So if you're starting with us on Day 11, we'll calculate your qualifying requirement based only on the challenge days you have remaining. Just start working toward your first 100 activities TODAY! 🔥 And this is open to EVERYONE—Standard, Premium, VIP and Inner Circle members. ❤️

OMG! The VILLAGE is better for having you! There goes that predictive text on the phone again. I do much better with a REAL keyboard.

@Angela Skelton Bahaha! That must make you management! 😉
Try This Thursday
Pull out a yarn you've never used on your machine. Before using it, look at the weight, fibre and texture. Would you predict it will work well? Why?

@Jeanne Im I'm with you, Jeanne. I stick with a tightly wound 4 weight yarn that feels soft and smooth on my fingers. That said, sometimes you simply get what you get when mail order is involved. Instead of making myself crazy by working with a yarn that is fighting the machine, I pivot. Use the cranky (no pun intended) yarn to make iCord and use something else on the CKM.

@Susan Weller Great! I'll keep that in mind for when I see that next beautiful yarn that is ... awe, shucks! It's cotton. Now I don't have to be afraid to give it a go.
