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 💛🧶

What are you working on today?

As many of you know, I have had to divert some time away from the community to do some serious accounting due to an error made by one of my employees and lack of honest accountants in my area, so I don't get serious fines and interest. It is taking longer than expected, but I am making good progress, and I am hoping to finally have it done by the end of the week, so I can get back to what I really love and that is this community.

Just for fun I asked ChatGPT to create a caricature image of me based on what it knew. That is what is came up with.

I have a YouTube channel that I use to advertise this community to get new members. When I release videos if it gets instant views then YouTube shows it out to more people. This is the overview video of this month's free pattern with music in the background. If you can either watch the whole thing (it's nine minutes) or put it on and let it run the background, then give it a thumbs up (on YouTube) if you like it, that will really help me.
