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.

I wanted to share an important change happening within our Admin Team. Julie Findleton and Ruby Dack have decided to step down from their Admin roles as they pursue some exciting things of their own, including building their YouTube channel and Facebook group. 🧶 First and foremost, I want to say a HUGE thank you to both of them for everything they have poured into this community. They have taught classes, hosted Crafting Hours, designed and shared patterns, answered countless questions, encouraged and celebrated our members, helped behind the scenes, and invested so much of themselves into helping make this community what it is today. I am incredibly grateful for the time, creativity, knowledge, and heart they have given us. 💛 🌱 One of My Goals Has Always Been to Grow Leaders From the beginning, I've wanted this community to be more than a place where people simply come to get patterns. I want it to be a place where people learn, gain confidence, discover what they're capable of, and have opportunities to lead. Sometimes leadership development means people eventually become ready to create something of their own—and I want to celebrate that too. So as Julie and Ruby move into this next chapter, I wish them every success as they build and explore where their own journey takes them. 🧶💛 🧶 What Does This Mean for Our Community? There will naturally be a short adjustment period as we reorganize a few things behind the scenes, but I want to reassure everyone: We're not going anywhere. Our community will continue to offer the programs you've come to enjoy, including: 🧶 New patterns 🎥 Classes and courses ☕ Crafting Hours 💛 Help and support 🎄 Our upcoming Knit Alongs and special events 📚 And plenty more that we're already working on! We have built something pretty amazing together, and I'm excited about where we go from here. Please join me in giving Julie and Ruby a huge THANK YOU for everything they have contributed to our community and wishing them all the best in this next chapter. 💛🧶

It's time to start getting ready for Christmas! 🎅 Beginning Thursday, August 20, we're starting a brand-new Reversible Christmas Tree Blanket Knit Along, and we're going to make this beautiful blanket together, one section at a time! 📅 August 20 – September 18 Rather than giving you the entire pattern and sending you off on your own, we'll work through it together. Each week: 🎄 3 new panels will be released for you to make. ☕ We'll have a Crafting Hour where we can work on our blankets together. 🙋‍♀️ Bring your questions! If you're stuck, unsure about something, or just want some company while you knit, that's exactly what these Crafting Hours are for. By the end of the Knit Along, you'll have a beautiful Reversible Christmas Tree Blanket finished with plenty of time before Christmas! 🗓️ We Start Thursday, August 20! Our first get-together will be: Thursday, August 20 at 11:00 AM Eastern (Toronto/New York) The rest of the Knit Along events will be added to the Calendar soon, so check there to see the correct time in your own time zone. 🧶 What You'll Need Machine: 🧶 22-Needle Circular Knitting Machine Yarn: 🤍 3 balls Lion Brand Pound of Love OR Big Twist Pound+ in White 💚 3 balls Lion Brand Pound of Love in Wintergreen 💛 1 ball Lion Brand Pound of Love in Honey Bee 🤎 1 ball Lion Brand Pound of Love in Chocolate IMPORTANT: You will only need a small amount of the Honey Bee and Chocolate, so there's no need to buy a full Pound of Love if you don't already have it! You can substitute a smaller ball from another brand—just make sure the yarn has a similar gauge so your panels remain consistent. Other Supplies: ✂️ Scissors 🪝 5mm / H8 Crochet Hook 🪡 Darning Needle 📍 Stitch Holders 🧶 Waste Yarn And remember—you don't have to use my colours! Feel free to choose colours that match your Christmas décor or make the blanket completely your own. 🎨 👑 This Knit Along is for VIP Members Not VIP yet?
