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.

It's time to start getting ready for Christmas! 🎅 Beginning Thursday, August 20, we're starting a brand-new Reversible Christmas Tree Blanket Knit Along, and we're going to make this beautiful blanket together, one section at a time! 📅 August 20 – September 18 Rather than giving you the entire pattern and sending you off on your own, we'll work through it together. Each week: 🎄 3 new panels will be released for you to make. ☕ We'll have a Crafting Hour where we can work on our blankets together. 🙋‍♀️ Bring your questions! If you're stuck, unsure about something, or just want some company while you knit, that's exactly what these Crafting Hours are for. By the end of the Knit Along, you'll have a beautiful Reversible Christmas Tree Blanket finished with plenty of time before Christmas! 🗓️ We Start Thursday, August 20! Our first get-together will be: Thursday, August 20 at 11:00 AM Eastern (Toronto/New York) The rest of the Knit Along events will be added to the Calendar soon, so check there to see the correct time in your own time zone. 🧶 What You'll Need Machine: 🧶 22-Needle Circular Knitting Machine Yarn: 🤍 3 balls Lion Brand Pound of Love OR Big Twist Pound+ in White 💚 3 balls Lion Brand Pound of Love in Wintergreen 💛 1 ball Lion Brand Pound of Love in Honey Bee 🤎 1 ball Lion Brand Pound of Love in Chocolate IMPORTANT: You will only need a small amount of the Honey Bee and Chocolate, so there's no need to buy a full Pound of Love if you don't already have it! You can substitute a smaller ball from another brand—just make sure the yarn has a similar gauge so your panels remain consistent. Other Supplies: ✂️ Scissors 🪝 5mm / H8 Crochet Hook 🪡 Darning Needle 📍 Stitch Holders 🧶 Waste Yarn And remember—you don't have to use my colours! Feel free to choose colours that match your Christmas décor or make the blanket completely your own. 🎨 👑 This Knit Along is for VIP Members Not VIP yet?
