When I came up with this challenge, I wanted to encourage more than just activity numbers. I wanted people to connect. To discover members they hadn't met yet. To encourage someone who was struggling. To share their knowledge. To feel like they were part of something special. And over these past 30 days, I've loved seeing so many of you getting involved! My hope is that the friendships, conversations and encouragement will continue long after the contest has ended.

I thought I would share a picture of batch knitting with both machines going at once. The Caydo is making Loop Shawls and my Addi is making fingerless gloves.

This right here is one of the things that has me so excited about the new Caydo CKM! Today I am doing two things at once. 😁 💻 I'm sitting here scheduling posts and getting content ready for all of you through the end of September... AND... 🧶 My Caydo CKM is beside me batch knitting tubes for my Loop Scarves and Shawls! Think about that for a minute. Normally, if I'm cranking tubes, I'm cranking tubes. 😂 My hands are busy and that's what I'm doing. But now the machine can be knitting while I'm doing something completely different. For someone like me who sells at craft shows and sometimes needs to produce a LOT of inventory in a short amount of time, that is HUGE. And even if you never sell a single thing you make, think about what that could mean when you're making Christmas gifts, charity projects or simply trying to get through several projects at once. Your machine can be knitting while YOU are doing something else. 🤯 And that's only ONE of the things I've been testing. 💜 WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE NEW CAYDO CKM ⚡ One-Touch Fully Automatic Knitting — free up your hands and let the machine do the knitting. 🔄 Seamless One-Piece Knitting — create those tubes we circular machine knitters use for SO many projects. 🔢 Automatic row counting — no more losing your row count or forgetting to reset your counter. ✋ You can still hand crank when you need to — and the row counter continues counting. Perfect for those “Am I going to have enough yarn?” moments. 😂 🧶 Beautiful, even tension — I've already been selling items made on my Caydo CKM at craft shows, and one of the comments I keep hearing is how beautiful and professional the knitting looks. ↔️ Panel knitting — and I'm going to be doing a WHOLE separate video on this because I think it deserves one! 💜💙 Two colour choices — purple and blue. And there's still more for us to explore together! 🚨 PRESALE IS SEPTEMBER 15TH! The new Caydo CKM goes on presale September 15th. 💰 Do I know the price yet? NOPE! Caydo still hasn't given me the official price, so I'm waiting right along with all of you. 😂

Yesterday I told you that I had shared some exciting news with our Inner Circle members first...and now I can finally tell everyone! 🧶💰 September 1–3, I'm hosting a LIVE 3-Day Craft Show Vendor Training right here in our community! Our theme is: MAKE • SELL • PROFIT If you've ever thought about selling the things you make at craft shows—or you're already doing vendor events and want to become more intentional about actually making money from them—this training is for you. Over three days, we'll walk through the journey from maker to profitable vendor. 🧶 DAY 1 — MAKE What should you make? We'll talk about choosing products, yarn and materials, production time, inventory, product mix, market saturation and creating products people actually want to buy. 🛍️ DAY 2 — SELL We'll tackle choosing the right shows, booth setup, displays, signage, customer psychology, selling without being pushy, making it easy to buy and turning browsers into customers. 💰 DAY 3 — PROFIT We'll dig into product costs, pricing, event expenses, profit, knowing your numbers, local business requirements and figuring out whether that "great show" actually made you money. We'll have four sessions each day—two in the morning and two after lunch. And don't worry if you can't attend everything live! 🎥 ALL SESSIONS WILL BE RECORDED AND REPLAYS WILL BE AVAILABLE. ⭐ WHO GETS ACCESS?

Premium members, you voted and chose the Evening Elegance Wrap, and it has officially been added to your Premium Pattern Library! ❤️ This is such a pretty and versatile wrap, and one of the things I love about it is that it looks more complicated than it actually is. ✨ The Evening Elegance Wrap is a beginner-friendly project and the pattern includes several sizes, so you can choose the size that works best for you. The beautiful twist at the front takes a fairly simple knitted piece and turns it into something that looks polished and elegant. Make it casual, dress it up for an evening out, or experiment with different yarns and colours to completely change the look. 💕 PREMIUM MEMBERS Your winning pattern is ready!
