I’ve just released a brand new YouTube video, and I’m going to be promoting it to bring more amazing makers into our community. But first… I would love your help. 👉 Can you head over, watch, like, and leave a quick comment? Every like, every comment, every bit of engagement tells YouTube to show this video to more people who are struggling right now. 🎥 Watch here: https://youtu.be/zkHKSIkcdis This is how we reach the overwhelmed knitters who are sitting there thinking… “Why isn’t this working?” “Maybe this just isn’t for me…” And we get to show them they’re not alone. Also let me know which thumbnail you like better and would make you click on the video. I am really curious. 🧶 Beginners… This One Is Also For You If you’re brand new to your Addi or Sentro… Or your machine feels harder than it should… 👉 You need to watch this before you cast on your first stitch. I walk you through what no one tells you at the beginning so you can avoid the frustration and actually start seeing success. And if you haven’t taken the Beginner’s Course yet, this is the perfect place to start. We’re building something special here… A place where no one has to figure this out alone. And this video is one more way we reach the next person who needs it 💛

Please join me in congratulating✨ @Zona Taylor and @Linda Simard ✨for reaching Level 8 in our community! This is not just another level.

They’ve helped make this feel like a true community. A place where people feel welcomed, supported, and part of something bigger. And I am incredibly proud of both of them. 🌟 What Level 8 Represents Level 8 isn’t about activity. It’s about impact.

With doing a craft show on Saturday, I wasn't able to do my normal Saturday Celebration Recognition so we are doing it today. One of my favorite things to celebrate each week is our Leaderboard winners — not because of points alone, but because those points represent something much bigger. They represent: • Questions asked • Encouragement given • Projects shared • Kindness shown • Time spent helping others Points are earned here by contributing to the community — through posting, liking, and commenting — and these members have gone above and beyond. 🌟 Our Top Contributors This Week Are: @Chris Muggleton @Janie Dillon @Dd Stoller @Miranda Robinson @Christine Wharton @Susan Sams @Angela Skelton @Tina Bryner @Brenda Lonsdale @June E Mackenzie @Zona Taylor @Linda Simard @Barbara Amarillas 💛 Why This Matters This community thrives because people show up — not perfectly, but consistently. Every comment, every like, every shared win or struggle helps create a space where learning feels safe and supported. If you’d like to see your name on next week’s leaderboard, keep doing what you’re already doing: ✔ Post ✔ Comment ✔ Encourage

Hey everyone, 👋 👋 I'm home from our weekend away. It wasn't the greatest as we're all so so so unwell! I wanted to share with you all that I visited the wool factory and wanted to share some pics of the factory! It's amazing! I spent a fair bit of money I must say 😆 🤣 I will when I'm better do a yarn haul of what I got to show and tell but for now have a peek at this amazing store! It was like heaven!

…..would you give to someone new to circular knitting machines?
