I’m so glad you’re here. This community was created to help circular machine knitters move from overwhelmed and confused… to confident creators finishing projects they’re proud of. Whether you’re brand new to machine knitting or have been cranking for years, you’re in the right place. 📌 Your First Steps To get started, here are the first things I recommend: 1️⃣ Watch the Beginner’s Course (CMK or iCord depending on what you’re learning) 2️⃣ Introduce yourself in the community feed Tell us: - What machine you use (Addi, Sentro, etc.) - Your experience level - What you’re excited to learn - 3️⃣Participate and earn rewards by liking and commenting on other's posts. 💛 As you engage in the community and earn points, you’ll begin unlocking rewards starting at Level 2. You can see all of the rewards in the Classroom section. 💛 Our Community Culture We work hard to keep this a supportive, spam-free community where everyone feels comfortable asking questions and sharing their projects. A few quick reminders: • No spam or outside promotions • Be kind and supportive to other members • While we love all crafts, please keep posts focused on Circular Machine Knitting except for our Show & Tell Post on Sunday. This helps keep the community helpful and easy to navigate for everyone. 🧶 Membership Options Everyone starts with Standard (Free) membership which includes: • Access to the community • The Beginner’s Circular Machine Knitting Course with 2 Patterns • The Beginner’s iCord Course If you want access to more patterns and learning, you can upgrade anytime. 💛 Premium $1usd a month or $10usd a year • Beginner’s Pattern Library • Two new beginner patterns added each month • Yarn Reviews • Additional learning resources 🚀 VIP $10usd a month or $99usd a year Everything in Premium plus: • Full Pattern Library • Courses and advanced classes • Crafting hours with the admin team • Design and business training • Strategy support VIP is where many members go when they want to deeply expand their skills, design their own projects, or even start turning their knitting into income.

As we head into summer, I wanted to give everyone a quick update on what the next few weeks will look like in our community. First, don't worry... We're not going anywhere! 😄 The community isn't shutting down, classes aren't disappearing, and you'll still see us around. However, the admin team and I are going to be taking a bit of a lighter schedule for the next few weeks. Summer is a busy season for many of us. There are family activities, vacations, gardens to tend, grandchildren to spoil, and in my case, I'll be spending time with my daughter as she welcomes a new baby into the world. 💛 Because of that, we're going to be intentionally slowing things down a little so that everyone on the admin team has an opportunity to enjoy their summer and recharge. What Will Still Be Happening? ✅ We will still be checking in regularly. ✅ We will still be available for questions and support. ✅ We will still be posting in the community. ✅ We will be releasing the new Summer Shawl pattern. ✅ We will be releasing the new Water Bottle Holder pattern. More Time To Connect One thing we're actually excited about is creating more opportunities for members to get to know each other. For the next few weeks, we'll be hosting: 🧶 Two Social Crafting Hours each week These will be relaxed, informal times for our Premium and VIP members to craft together, ask questions, share projects, and build friendships. Sometimes the best learning happens when we're simply creating together. Looking Ahead... While we're taking a lighter schedule now, we're also working behind the scenes getting ready for something fun... 🎄 Christmas in July! 🎄 Starting in mid-July, we'll begin rolling out Christmas-themed projects, ideas, and activities to help those who are planning ahead for gifts, fall markets, and Christmas craft shows. I'll also be bringing back the: 🎥 Live Beginner's Classes in mid-July. Thank You I want to thank each of you for being part of this amazing community. One of the things I love most is that this community doesn't depend on one person. It thrives because of all of you—your encouragement, your willingness to help one another, and the projects and experiences you share.
