Today is a BIG day in our community. For the first time ever… someone has reached Level 9. And that doesn’t happen by accident. This level isn’t about luck. It's about showing up consistently It's about encouraging others It's about asking questions, answering questions, posting projects, liking, commenting, supporting, and being fully present. 💛 @Julie Findleton — we see you. You have: ✨ Contributed generously ✨ Celebrated others loudly ✨ Shared your journey openly ✨ Helped make this community stronger Level 9 represents dedication, heart, and leadership through action. You didn’t just climb a rewards ladder. You helped build the culture and heart of this community while doing it. And that matters more than any number. Everyone, please join me in celebrating her achievement in the comments! 🎉👇 This is what happens when you lean in, participate, and grow together. I am so proud of you. And I’m grateful you’re here. Let’s keep cranking — the right way — together. 🧶💛

Went to Dobbies Garden Centre to get some summer bulbs and they had YARN! So I had to get some! @Paul Brown’s gonna love this!

I don't have a craft room, so I set up in my livingroom. The kitchen table is here as the kitchen is being remodeled. Where does everyone else do their crafts if you don't have a craft room?

I found this article so interesting reading that some athletes brought their knitting to the games to "unwind"... https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/feb/10/ben-ogden-cross-country-skiing-olympics-knitting ❤️🏂🏒⛷️⛸️🥇🥈🥉🧶🧶🧶❤️

As our community continues to grow, it’s important to me that we protect what makes this space special — supportive, safe, and focused on Circular Machine Knitting. Because of that, I’m excited to officially welcome four new admins to our team: ✨ @Julie Findleton ✨ @Paul Brown ✨ @Suzane Mesheau ✨ @Ruby Dack They’ve generously stepped in to help support the community in some very important ways, including: • Keeping the community safe by removing scammers, spammers, and anyone here with the wrong intentions • Hosting Crafting Hours • Answering questions and offering support • Helping new members feel welcomed and encouraged This step allows me to stay focused on creating patterns, courses, challenges, and content — while knowing the heart of this community is being well cared for. 💬 A quick note from my heart: If you’re reading this and wondering, “What about me?” — please know this is not a closed circle. As we continue to grow, I fully expect to expand the team again. There are so many incredible members here, and there will be future opportunities to step into leadership and support roles. Thank you for being part of a community that looks out for one another and helps keep this a place where knitters can learn, grow, and feel at home. With gratitude, Kim 💛🧶
