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.

We are working on something new for our Crafting Hours, and I need your help! We would like to create a rotating list of essential Circular Machine Knitting skills that we can teach during our Crafting Hours. The idea is simple: 👉 Every week or two, one of our Crafting Hours will focus on learning a specific skill. 👉 Then, every 2–3 months, we'll rotate back through those skills so new members have an opportunity to learn them and everyone else can come back for a refresher. These won't necessarily be project classes. They'll focus on the individual techniques that help you become a more confident knitter and make better-looking projects. For example: 🧶 Panel knitting 📏 Understanding gauge 🔄 Wrapped stitches 🎨 Basic colourwork 📖 Reading and understanding patterns 🧵 Yarn substitution 🪢 Different joining techniques Now I need YOUR ideas! 👇 What skills do you think should be on our rotating list? Think about the things you struggled with when you started, something you still aren't confident doing, or a technique you think every circular machine knitter should know. Don't worry if someone else has already suggested it—add your vote by mentioning it again! That will help us see which skills our members want most. Let's build our skills class rotation together! 💛🧶
