It's taken me ages to get back into a making frame of mind since being away. I managed to get these 2 necklaces put together today. I'm calling them "The End of Summer" 1 and 2, as they are definitely not autumnal colours. I started sorting through my yarns to pull more autumn colours together. I'll definitely make some pumpkins and a possibly a wreath with mini pumpkins and a mix of red, orange and browns for flowers.

I got it second hand on Vinted. I’m so excited for it to arrive. I’m going to try some of Kim’s icord projects

It’s time for our weekly Momentum Makers on Fire check-in! First, I want to celebrate everyone who currently has that little 🔥 beside their name. You are some of the people who keep conversations going, welcome and encourage others, celebrate projects and help make CMK feel like a community rather than simply a pattern library. 💛 @Amanda Berridge @Barbara Amarillas @Brigitte Kok @Chris Muggleton @Christine Wharton @Dd Stoller @Helen Michelle @Lori Norris @Michelle Childers @Stefanie Byrd @Susan Weller @Jeanne Im And for those of us still working toward it... I’m right there with you! I lost my 🔥 and today I am officially on DAY 21 of my journey to earn it back! 😂🔥 I’m determined to get there. 🔥 How Do You Become a Momentum Maker on Fire? The Fire Icon is based on consistent activity, not how many projects you complete or how advanced a knitter you are. The goal is a minimum of 10 activities each day, including things like: ❤️ Liking posts and comments 💬 Commenting and encouraging someone 📝 Creating a post 🙋‍♀️ Joining conversations and helping other members And remember—you don't have to create 10 posts! Simply taking a few minutes each day to interact with other members can help build your activity. Why Go for the 🔥? Besides the fun of seeing that Fire Icon beside your name, being consistently involved has some pretty great benefits. You get to know other members better. You learn from the questions and projects being shared. You're more likely to discover classes, patterns and community opportunities you might otherwise miss. You earn points toward our Levels and Rewards. And every time you engage, you're helping someone else feel seen and encouraged too.
