Congratulations to @Wendy Merchant and @Suzane Mesheau

As our community continues to grow, I thought it would be a good time for a quick refresher on our rules and, more importantly, why they exist. The goal isn't to create a bunch of restrictions. The goal is to protect the supportive, encouraging, and drama-free community that we've all worked so hard to build. 💛 1. 😊 Be Positive We all have bad days, but this is a place for encouragement, support, and solutions. No negativity, personal attacks, or drama. We're here to build each other up, not tear each other down. 2. 🚫 No Self-Promotion Please do not direct members to non-approved Facebook groups, communities, websites, YouTube channels, or other platforms. Members joined this community to learn and connect here. Keeping discussions and resources inside the community helps everyone benefit. 🧶 Make an Effort This community works best when people participate. Ask questions. Share projects. Like posts. Leave comments. Encourage others. The more everyone participates, the stronger the community becomes. 📬 No Spamming Members Please don't send unsolicited messages, sales offers, or promotions to other members. We want everyone to feel safe and comfortable here. ❤️ Respect Designers Please do not ask for or share row counts from someone else's design. Designers put a lot of time, effort, and creativity into creating patterns, and we want to respect that work. 📚 Pattern Sharing by Permission Only Members are welcome to design and share patterns, but we ask that you first contact me to become a pre-approved pattern contributor. Why? Because we want to ensure patterns are organized, easy to find, and provide a great experience for members. Approved patterns will be placed in the Community Library rather than directing members outside the community. If you're interested in becoming a contributor, just send me a DM. 😊 🧵 Circular Machine Knitting & iCord Focus To keep the community organized, posts should be related to:
