So sorry to have been incognito for so long. Trying to get through DH’s shoulder surgery. It has been a difficult road with lots of pain. But, it’s beginning to slowly get better. And then silly me decided I was going to literally fall out of my office chair (Like 2 feet to the floor) and not only bruise my tailbone, but break a rib! We have been too old people gimping around the last month or so for sure🤣. But, I just couldn’t resist jumping on and showing you my very first great grandchild. Ms McKinley Rian came into the world yesterday at 7 lbs. 8 oz. and 20 inches long. Mama and baby are doing wonderful. Hopefully, DH and I can go out to visit her in the Fall.

And I can finally tell you a little bit of it! 😁 Some of you may have heard that Caydo has a brand-new circular knitting machine coming out around the middle of September. Well... guess what is going to be arriving at my house BEFORE the official release? 🎉🎉🎉 Yep. The NEW Caydo circular knitting machine! Caydo is sending me one in advance so I can get my hands on it, put it through its paces, and create review and demonstration videos for the launch. Now, there are quite a few things I already know about this machine that I’m not going to tell you yet. 🤐😂 But I will tell you this... I am VERY excited to get my hands on it. And there's something else about this that I think is even more important. Caydo sees this community. ❤️ They know what we are building here. They know that there are more than 2000 circular machine knitters here learning, creating, helping one another and sharing their love of this craft. And they see the value in what we're doing enough to put their brand-new machine in my hands before it is released to the public. That isn't just exciting for me. That's exciting for US. One of my goals from the beginning has been to build a community that companies in the circular machine knitting industry couldn't help but notice—a community whose voice matters. And we're getting there. ❤️ So over the next few weeks, you're probably going to hear me teasing you a little bit about what's coming. 😁 Once the machine arrives, I'm going to be testing it, learning it and finding out what it can really do. And because YOU are the community I represent, I want you involved too. 👇 What is the ONE thing you would most want me to test or find out about a brand-new circular knitting machine? Drop it in the comments. I may already know the answer... but I'm not telling. 🤐😂 September is going to be FUN. 🧶🎉

I was struggling because my Addi(s) wouldn't clamp to my plastic tray table because of the beveled edges, so I went to the thrift store near my house to see what I could find. I ran across a Show King foldable table that plugs in and has three outlets! It's a little smaller than what I wanted, but otherwise it's PERFECT! My Addi clamps to it as does my yarn winder. I can plug in my knitting machine adapter AND a light! I'm happy dancing all over the place!
