One of the things I love about our CMK community is that your feedback matters! ❤️ We heard from members that the original Level 6 reward wasn't quite what you were hoping for. So, we listened, went back to the drawing board, and came up with something we think you'll find much more useful! 🎉 INTRODUCING YOUR NEW LEVEL 6 REWARD! The Circular Knitting Machine Row Counts Reference Guide! 🧶 This colourful, 5-page PDF is designed to be a handy reference you can turn to again and again when planning your projects! Inside, you'll find helpful charts covering: 🧢 Hats — Suggested row counts for children's and adult hats, with and without brims, including colour changes for stripes. 🧣 Scarves — Row counts for different lengths, including solid and striped designs. 🎀 Headbands & Ear Warmers — Suggested row counts for different machine sizes and colour combinations. 🧶 Infinity Scarves — A handy starting point for your next cozy project. ❤️ Blanket Sizes — Reference measurements for everything from baby blankets to king-size beds, plus throws and lap blankets! ⚠️ AN IMPORTANT REMINDER! These row counts are for REFERENCE ONLY! Your finished project's size can vary depending on: ✅ The knitting machine you're using. ✅ The type and weight of yarn. ✅ Your machine's tension and the way the yarn knits up. The numbers in this guide are intended to give you a starting point, not a guaranteed finished size. Always check your measurements and make adjustments as needed, especially when making items that need to fit! ❤️ A HUGE THANK YOU TO ADMIN @Susan Weller I want to give a very special shoutout to our wonderful Admin Susan, who did all the research and designed this entire PDF for our community! 👏👏👏 Susan, thank you for the time, effort and creativity you put into making this resource! Our admin team does so much behind the scenes, and I truly appreciate the heart they put into helping our members succeed. ❤️ 🔓 HOW DO YOU GET YOUR NEW REWARD?

Every year, one of my favourite traditions is creating a special Christmas song for our Circular Machine Knitting community. And I'm so excited to share our 2026 Christmas song, "Cranking Up Christmas!" with you! For me, this is so much more than just a fun Christmas song. It's a celebration of YOU and the incredible community we've built together. ❤️ When I think about everything we've shared throughout the year — the projects we've created, the new techniques we've learned, the challenges we've overcome, the laughter, the encouragement, and the friendships that have grown — it reminds me just how special this little corner of the knitting world really is. Of course, our Christmas song wouldn't be complete without a little humour! After all, what machine knitter hasn't bought more yarn than they need, started too many projects, or found themselves playing yarn chicken while trying to finish a gift? 😂 But underneath all the fun is a message that's very close to my heart. No knitter learns alone. Those four words are more than just our community motto. They're what I hope every single person experiences when they become part of CMK. Whether you're brand new to circular machine knitting or have been creating for years, you belong here. And that's why creating our Christmas song each year means so much to me. It's my little way of celebrating the people who make this community what it is. 🎄 And with the release of our Christmas song, I'm officially declaring the CMK Christmas season OPEN! Over the coming weeks, we'll be celebrating the season together, sharing our Christmas creations, encouraging one another, and enjoying the wonderful friendships that make this community feel like home. So grab a cup of something warm, turn up the volume, and enjoy "Cranking Up Christmas!" I hope it makes you smile, laugh a little, and reminds you that you're part of something special. ❤️ Thank you for being part of my knitting family. You make this community worth celebrating, not just at Christmas, but all year long.

Just because I haven’t done one in a while.

Congratulations on reaching the top level in our community @Susan Sams You are a valued member of this community and we celebrate you and your accomplishments!!! Way to go!!!
