Hello everyone! Tomorrow at 11:00 AM EST I will be hosting this week’s Crafting Hour, a membership benefit for VIP members. This week I will talk about my process in designing and knitting a sweater using the course Kim created - the 5 day Sweater Challenge. I will walk through the worksheets and answer questions about the calculations, measurements and design choices. I am ready to knit my first tube for the sweater. There is also time for general circular machine knitting questions. Feel free to work on another project while participating in the learning environment. This is an opportunity to work together in a virtual studio that is universal and global. The session will be recorded and uploaded to the VIP Classroom for later and repeat viewing. To attend click on the Calendar tab, choose the date on the calendar and then click on Paul’s Crafting Hour. I look forward to tomorrow’s studio time. I have attached some photos of winding yarn, some wound and labeled cakes and the test swatch that I knit.

You’ve joined at an exciting time — we’re making some updates to our membership structure starting Monday, and you can check out this post to see all the details of the changes: https://www.skool.com/circular-machine-knitting/an-important-and-exciting-update-about-our-membership-structure?p=576c292b In the meantime, here’s how to get started: 1️⃣ Head to the Classroom tab and watch the “Start Here” video. 2️⃣ Download any free patterns you’d like to keep before Monday (the pattern library will be moving into our paid tiers). 3️⃣ Grab the Beginner’s Course in the Classroom tab — it’s staying free and is the best place to build your foundation. 4️⃣ Visit the Community tab, introduce yourself, and start earning points toward fun digital rewards. Nothing is happening until Monday — just be sure to download any patterns you want before the transition. I also created this post specifically for our free members that gives more detail about how these changes affect you. https://www.skool.com/circular-machine-knitting/important-update-for-our-free-members?p=d47c2050 We’re so glad you’re here, and I can’t wait to see what you create. 💛 — Kim
