For my personal use, I created a spreadsheet to keep track of the yarn I had on hand that includes information about how to wash and a website to go to for patterns. I also created a paper tag that I add saying "Made with Love by the Doves" and on the back I write the size and say if it's wool or acrylic in case there are any allergies, but how do you tell the individual how to care for the item?

Today, I want to recognize a very special group of members who are truly keeping this community moving. These are our Momentum Makers on Fire — members who have earned the 🔥 fire icon beside their name by taking 10+ actions a day for 30 days or more, through liking, commenting, and posting. That kind of consistency doesn’t happen by accident. It means you’re: • Showing up regularly • Encouraging others • Asking thoughtful questions • Sharing your journey • Helping make this community a safe and supportive place to learn 👏 Let’s give a huge shoutout to our Momentum Makers on Fire: @Julie Findleton @Ruby Dack @Paul Brown @Chris Muggleton @Dd Stoller @Susan Sams @Miranda Robinson @Christine Wharton @Tina Bryner @Amanda Berridge @Katherine Freemanfahrig @Stefanie Byrd @Zona Taylor @Caroline Fransz

One of the things that makes this community so special isn’t just the patterns or lessons — it’s you. Every like, comment, question, encouragement, and shared project helps turn this space into a place where no knitter learns alone. This week, I want to celebrate two groups of incredible members: 🎉 Level 5+ Legends 🎉 These members have reached Level 5 or higher, and that doesn’t happen by accident. It means they show up, support others, share their journey, and help make this community what it is. 👏 Let’s give a huge round of applause to: Level 5 @Aoife O Donovan @Barbara Walsh @Callie Banks @Carolyn Williams @Chantell Block @Elke Soen @Frances Allen @Gail Dorr @Gloria Turner @Jackie Davies @Jennie Purcell @Joanne Lundie @Kailee Archer @Karen Handford @Karen Lewis @Kim Guite

When my Granddaughter sees me knitting, she has asked how she can help me. So, I've let the 3 grands make the pompoms, but since Campbell is the one spending the most time with me while her brothers are in school, she gets to make more.

Show us what you cast off this week.
