Good morning everyone!
Welcome to DAY 9 of our 30 Days to ONE Anniversary Engagement Challenge! 🔥🧶
Today I want to change the focus a little bit.
Instead of just talking about numbers, I want to talk about YOU—and how much this community has grown. ❤️
When I look at CMK today compared with where we started, I'm honestly amazed.
We've grown in numbers, yes—but that's not the part I'm most proud of.
We've grown into a community where people help each other.
Where someone posts their very first project and people celebrate with them. 🎉
Where a beginner can ask a question without feeling silly.
Where experienced knitters freely share what they've learned.
Where friendships are forming between people who probably never would have met otherwise.
Where we laugh together, learn together, encourage each other and occasionally enable each other's yarn purchases. 😂🧶
THAT is what I wanted CMK to become.
And none of it happens because of one person.
❤️ SO TODAY I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU.
Thank you to every person who posts.
Thank you to everyone who answers someone's question.
Thank you to the people who quietly leave a ❤️ on someone's project.
Thank you to those who welcome our new members.
Thank you to our experienced knitters who patiently help our beginners.
Thank you to the beginners who are brave enough to ask the questions that 20 other people probably wanted to ask too!
And a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone participating in this challenge.
You have taken it seriously! 😂🔥
I've been watching the conversations happening throughout the community, and THAT was the whole reason for doing this.
The prizes are fun.
The numbers are fun.
But YOU connecting with each other is the real purpose. ❤️
🔥 MY DAY 8 TOTAL
Yesterday I finished with...
106 ACTIVITIES! 🎉
Not exactly an overachiever yesterday. 😂
But 100 is the goal and 106 COUNTS!
Now I need yours!
👇 Comment below with your DAY 8 / Wednesday total:
🔥 Wednesday: _____ activities
Even if you didn't reach 100, please give me your number because I'm tracking everyone's progress.
🆕 WAIT... WHAT CONTEST?
If you're new to CMK—or you've been watching these posts wondering what on earth we're doing 😂—YOU CAN STILL JOIN US!
We're counting down to CMK's FIRST BIRTHDAY on October 17th with our:
🎂 30 Days to ONE Anniversary Engagement Challenge!
The challenge runs from September 16 through October 15.
The challenge is:
🔥 Complete at least 100 genuine community activities in a day
🔥 Do it on 26 of the 30 challenge days
🔥 Qualify for our Anniversary Prize Draw!
And this is open to EVERYONE—Standard, Premium, VIP and Inner Circle members. ❤️
🎁 WHAT CAN YOU WIN?
At our 1st Birthday Party on October 17th, we'll draw THREE winners:
🥇 $100 Caydo Gift Card
🥈 $20 Caydo Gift Card
🥉 $20 Caydo Gift Card
🆕 JOINING TODAY? IT'S NOT TOO LATE!
You do NOT have to make up the eight days you've missed.
Your challenge is prorated from the day you join.
If you're starting TODAY, September 24th, there are 22 challenge days remaining, including today.
Using the same prorated requirement as everyone else, you need to complete 100+ activities on 19 of those 22 days to qualify. 🔥
That still gives you 3 days under 100!
And if you're reading this after today, we'll simply prorate your requirement based on how many challenge days remain when you start.
So please don't look at DAY 9 and think:
"Well, I missed the beginning, so I can't participate."
YES YOU CAN! ❤️
🔥 NOW LET'S CELEBRATE!
For today's post, I want TWO things from you:
🔥 FIRST: Give me your Wednesday/Day 8 activity total so I can record it.
❤️ SECOND: Tell me something you appreciate about this community.
Maybe someone helped you.
Maybe you've made a friend.
Maybe you've finally learned how to use that machine that was threatening to become an expensive yarn holder. 😂
Maybe you've tried something you never thought you could make.
Maybe you simply enjoy having a place where other people understand why owning that much yarn is perfectly reasonable. 🤣🧶
Whatever it is...
LET'S FILL TODAY'S COMMENTS WITH A CELEBRATION OF CMK AND EACH OTHER! 🎉❤️
And then let's get to work on...
🔥 DAY 9 — TODAY'S GOAL: 100! 🔥
Thank you for helping me build this community.
We wouldn't be CMK without YOU. ❤️🧶🎂
