I’m so glad you’re here. This community was created to help circular machine knitters move from overwhelmed and confused… to confident creators finishing projects they’re proud of. Whether you’re brand new to machine knitting or have been cranking for years, you’re in the right place. 📌 Your First Steps To get started, here are the first things I recommend: 1️⃣ Watch the Beginner’s Course (CMK or iCord depending on what you’re learning) 2️⃣ Introduce yourself in the community feed Tell us: - What machine you use (Addi, Sentro, etc.) - Your experience level - What you’re excited to learn - 3️⃣Participate and earn rewards by liking and commenting on other's posts. 💛 As you engage in the community and earn points, you’ll begin unlocking rewards starting at Level 2. You can see all of the rewards in the Classroom section. 💛 Our Community Culture We work hard to keep this a supportive, spam-free community where everyone feels comfortable asking questions and sharing their projects. A few quick reminders: • No spam or outside promotions • Be kind and supportive to other members • While we love all crafts, please keep posts focused on Circular Machine Knitting except for our Show & Tell Post on Sunday. This helps keep the community helpful and easy to navigate for everyone. 🧶 Membership Options Everyone starts with Standard (Free) membership which includes: • Access to the community • The Beginner’s Circular Machine Knitting Course with 2 Patterns • The Beginner’s iCord Course If you want access to more patterns and learning, you can upgrade anytime. 💛 Premium $1usd a month or $10usd a year • Beginner’s Pattern Library • Two new beginner patterns added each month • Yarn Reviews • Additional learning resources 🚀 VIP $10usd a month or $99usd a year Everything in Premium plus: • Full Pattern Library • Courses and advanced classes • Crafting hours with the admin team • Design and business training • Strategy support VIP is where many members go when they want to deeply expand their skills, design their own projects, or even start turning their knitting into income.

I just shared some exciting news with our CMK Inner Circle... and tomorrow, I’ll be sharing it with the entire community. 🧶🎉 I’m not giving it away yet, but I will tell you this: We have something special coming in September, and I think many of you are going to LOVE it. But since I mentioned the Inner Circle, I realized we haven’t talked about it much lately—and some of our newer members may not even know what it is! ⭐ What is the CMK Inner Circle? The Inner Circle is our Level 8 group of community members who have earned their way there by being active, helpful and engaged in our community. These are members who have spent time answering questions, encouraging other knitters, sharing what they know and helping make this community the supportive place that it is. And one of the perks? They sometimes get to hear what’s coming before everyone else. 😁 I also turn to the Inner Circle for ideas, feedback and input as I continue developing the community. They have a voice in helping me make CMK even better. 🏆 How Do You Get Into the Inner Circle? You don't buy your way in. You earn your way in. The Inner Circle is unlocked when you reach Level 8 in Skool. And how do you level up? By participating in the community and earning points when other members like your posts and comments. So answer someone's question. Share a tip. Encourage a beginner. Show us what you're working on. Join the conversations. Don't participate just to collect points—participate because you have something valuable to contribute. The points are simply the community's way of recognizing it. And eventually you may find yourself joining us in the CMK Inner Circle. ⭐ As for what I told them today... You'll have to wait until tomorrow. 😉 Let's just say September is about to get VERY interesting around here. 🧶💰 Inner Circle members—no spilling the beans! 😂
