I got my Caydo knitting machine yesterday from the presale. I got it put together and tried it with the yarn they sent. The first piece showed me how even it knits. Today, I tried it with yarn from hobby lobby and it worked great. Of course I had to redo it because I dropped a stitch casting off (no fault of the machine). I will say it was so easy to remake the hat and a lot less time consuming. Overall very happy with it so far. Here is my first of many hats to come.

Amazon has a prime deal today and tomorrow for anyone interested. It’s in the US, not sure about other countries.

Good morning, CMK! ❤️🧶 We have officially reached DAY 21 of our 30 Days to ONE Anniversary Engagement Challenge! THREE WEEKS! 🎉🔥 We're getting into the home stretch now, and every qualifying day is bringing us closer to our October 17th celebration. 🔥 MY DAY 20 TOTAL — 115! Yesterday I finished with... 🔥 115 ACTIVITIES! ✅ Another 100+ day in the books! And considering everything happening around here right now, I'll happily take my 115. 😂 Now I need YOUR number: 👇 DAY 20 — _____ activities Whether you had 200, 115, exactly 100 or didn't quite make it, please give me your total anyway so I can keep tracking everyone's progress. ❤️ TODAY'S GRATITUDE — WHAT HAS CRAFTING TAUGHT YOU ABOUT YOURSELF? We've been talking a lot this month about the people and things we're thankful for. Today, I want you to think about something a little different. 🧶 What has crafting taught you about YOU? Maybe you've discovered... ❤️ You're more creative than you thought. 💪 You can figure things out even when they seem impossible at first. 😂 You have considerably LESS patience than you thought—especially when a stitch drops! 🧶 You actually CAN learn new things at any age. 💡 You're willing to experiment instead of always following the rules. ❤️ You love teaching and helping other people. 👏 You're capable of making things you once looked at and thought, “I could NEVER make that!” Or perhaps crafting has taught you something completely different. 🤔 THINK BACK TO WHEN YOU STARTED... There was probably a time when something you do without thinking today seemed incredibly difficult. Your first cast-on. Your first circular knitting machine. Your first panel. Your first complicated pattern. Your first project you were actually brave enough to show somebody. 😂 Sometimes we spend so much time looking at what we still don't know that we forget to look back and see how much we've already learned. And that's something worth being grateful for. ❤️ 👇 SO TODAY I WANT TWO THINGS: 1️⃣ Your Day 20 activity total
