Good morning everyone, I have 2 amazing things to share.. 1 I figured out how to get the twist in my cup cozys and headbands without waist yarn. This is a big deal for me because I have tried to do it without waist yarn for many years and it is very simple and easy. 2 I just opened a shop on Whatnot. I have so much stuff that I have made and I am still making more. My first live show is today and I am super excited and nervous. These are my twisted cup cozys and a headband that I recently made. What do you think?

Saturday Celebration - Leaderboard Results One of my favorite things to celebrate each week is our Leaderboard winners — not because of points alone, but because those points represent something much bigger. They represent: • Questions asked • Encouragement given • Projects shared • Kindness shown • Time spent helping others Points are earned here by contributing to the community — through posting, liking, and commenting — and these members have gone above and beyond. 🌟 Our Top Contributors This Week Are: @Chris Muggleton @Janie Dillon @Dd Stoller @Angela Skelton @Susan Sams @Miranda Robinson @Christine Wharton @Tina Bryner @Brenda Lonsdale @Ashley Busby @June E Mackenzie @Barbara Sneed @Amanda Berridge 💛 Why This Matters This community thrives because people show up — not perfectly, but consistently. Every comment, every like, every shared win or struggle helps create a space where learning feels safe and supported. If you’d like to see your name on next week’s leaderboard, keep doing what you’re already doing: ✔ Post ✔ Comment ✔ Encourage ✔ Participate I’m so grateful for each and every one of you who helps make this community such a joy to be part of. 🧶💛

Hello everyone! Tomorrow at 11:00 AM EST I will be hosting this week’s Crafting Hour, a membership benefit for VIP members. This week I will talk about my process in designing and knitting a sweater using the course Kim created - the 5 day Sweater Challenge. I will walk through the worksheets and answer questions about the calculations, measurements and design choices. I am ready to knit my first tube for the sweater. There is also time for general circular machine knitting questions. Feel free to work on another project while participating in the learning environment. This is an opportunity to work together in a virtual studio that is universal and global. The session will be recorded and uploaded to the VIP Classroom for later and repeat viewing. To attend click on the Calendar tab, choose the date on the calendar and then click on Paul’s Crafting Hour. I look forward to tomorrow’s studio time. I have attached some photos of winding yarn, some wound and labeled cakes and the test swatch that I knit.
