Let’s kick off January with something fun — and a little friendly competition! I’m running a January Referral Contest, and the prize is a Caydo Automatic I-Cord Maker 🎁🧶 This is a great way to help grow our community and reward you for sharing something you already love. 🗳️ How the Contest Works • Every time someone joins the community using your personal referral link, you earn ONE ballot in the draw. • To find your referral link:👉 Go to the Home page👉 Click the Invite People button👉 Copy your personal link and share it • The contest runs from today until my Birthday Jan 29th at 7:00am EST(New York / Toronto time) • The winner will be drawn live during Kim’s Birthday Crafting Hour later that day 🎂🧶 ⚠️ Important: For the draw to take place, we must reach a total of 100 referrals across the community.(This keeps it fun and fair for everyone!) 💡 Great Places to Share Your Link (Without Spamming) Here are some smart, respectful ways to share your referral link: • Facebook groups where beginners are asking for lessons or help • Posts where someone is looking for free patterns • Hand knitters who are curious about machines because they’re faster and easier on the hands • YouTube comments where someone is asking how to get started or solve a problem • A Facebook post on your own page sharing that you’re learning Circular Machine Knitting • Friends or family members who love crafting and might want to try something new • Crafty friends who feel overwhelmed and could use free beginner lessons and support New idea (one of the best ones): • Make a short video of you using your machine — show what you’re working on, share why you love circular machine knitting, and invite people to join the free community using your link Other respectful options: • Add your link to your Facebook bio temporarily • Share it in a reply when someone asks for resources • Mention it naturally when someone asks how you learned or where you get help The goal is always to help first, not to push.
