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.

First, let's check my number... 🥁🥁🥁 MY DAY 2 TOTAL: 119 ACTIVITIES! 🔥 Not quite my 162 from Day 1, but I made it over 100 and that's what matters! So I'm officially... 🔥 2 FOR 2! Now — HOW DID YOU DO? 🆕 NEW HERE? YOU CAN JOIN THE CHALLENGE TOO! We've had new members joining CMK since our challenge started, so if you're wondering what all this talk about 100 activities is about, here's the scoop! 😁 We're celebrating the countdown to Circular Machine Knitting's FIRST ANNIVERSARY on October 17th with our: 🎂🔥 30 DAYS TO ONE ANNIVERSARY ENGAGEMENT CHALLENGE! 🔥🎂 The challenge started September 16th and our goal is simple: 🎯 Complete 100 or more activities in the community each day. Those activities include things like: ❤️ Liking posts and comments 💬 Commenting and replying 📝 Creating posts 📊 Participating in polls 🙋‍♀️ Answering questions 👋 Welcoming members 🧶 Sharing your projects 🎉 Encouraging other members Members who started on Day 1 need to reach 100 activities on at least 26 of the 30 challenge days to qualify for our prize draw. And EVERYONE can participate — Standard, Premium, VIP and Inner Circle! 🆕 BUT WHAT IF YOU JUST JOINED? Jump in! You're not too late. I'm prorating the challenge for new members based on the number of challenge days available to you after you join. The original challenge requires 26 qualifying days out of 30, which is approximately 87% of the available days. So new members will need to reach 100 activities on approximately 87% of the challenge days available from the time they join. For example: 🔥 20 days available → 17 qualifying days 🔥 15 days available → 13 qualifying days 🔥 10 days available → 9 qualifying days 🔥 5 days available → 4 qualifying days So if you joined yesterday... COME PLAY! ❤️ You don't have to sit on the sidelines because you weren't here on September 16th. 🎁 AND YES... THERE ARE PRIZES! Everyone who successfully completes their challenge will qualify for our Anniversary Prize Draw: 🥇 $100 Caydo Gift Card
