I want to take a moment to clarify what can and can’t be shared here — not to limit anyone, but to protect what makes this community special. This space is intentionally focused on Circular Machine Knitting and iCord. Keeping that focus helps us: • Stay true to our unique niche • Protect everyone from accidental copyright issues • Make it easier for members to find relevant help and content • Keep the community valuable, safe, and trusted To that end, the following cannot be posted in the community: • Written patterns that were not designed by you. (Sharing patterns you didn’t create can unintentionally infringe on copyright.) You can share YouTube video links of patterns made by other creators. • Other craft projects or patterns such as hand knitting, crochet, sewing, quilting, etc. As wonderful as those crafts are, they pull us away from our core purpose. There are other Skool communities that cover them such as @Caroline Fransz The Crochet Circle - https://www.skool.com/caro-stitched-crochet-circle-1164/about?ref=72b0c7739c3e4643970e55dcb72f5c6d This doesn’t mean those crafts aren’t valued — it simply means this isn’t the right place for them. Please know this comes from a place of care. I truly value each and every one of you, and my goal is to keep this a focused, supportive, and inspiring space where circular machine knitters can thrive. Thank you for helping protect the heart of this community and for being such an important part of it 🧶💛

Yes… this one uses a glue gun! This month’s free pattern is all about keeping things simple, approachable, and confidence-building. Introducing the Easy Beginner iCord Coaster (Glue Gun Method) — a perfect first project if you’re: - New to iCord - New to finishing projects - Or just want a quick win that actually gets used - This coaster is made by forming your iCord into a spiral and gluing it together, which means: ✔️ No sewing required ✔️ No complicated finishing ✔️ Fast, forgiving, and beginner-friendly It’s a great way to practice: - Consistent iCord tension - Shaping and spacing - Seeing how iCord can be turned into functional home items - And yes — it works beautifully as a real coaster (as proven by my coffee ☕😉). 📍 Where to find it:Go to Classroom Tab → Free Patterns → iCord → Coaster (Glue Gun) This pattern is FREE for all members, and it’s a great stepping stone into more advanced iCord projects later on. If you’ve been curious about iCord but weren’t sure where to start — this is it. Start small. Finish Something. Create More And then… keep going 💙
