Just a quick note to say I haven't been around much this week — I'm feeling pretty poorly and needed to take a step back. So if you've posted something and I've gone quiet, that's why, not because I'm not interested! Fingers crossed I'll be back to full strength for next week, because I've got a lot planned for MkH in September and I'm excited to get stuck in. In the meantime, how's your week going? What have you been making, learning, or wrestling with on your machines this week? I'd love to hear.

Five members levelling up in one week — I love to see it. 🧶 @Ruby Dack and @Wendy Merchant have reached 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝟮 — 𝗚𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻. Your Level 2 gift is waiting in the Classroom.

Sunday mood: ☕📖🛋️ — what is your Sunday actually looking like? Pop a GIF below👇 and let's cheer each other on 💗

Would it roast you for walking away mid-row for 'just five minutes' and coming back an hour later? Would it thank you for finally cleaning the needle bed? Would it file a complaint about the acrylic you keep forcing through it when you know wool is its love language? Be honest — your machine has opinions. Give your machine a voice — what's the one thing it would say to you right now, good or bad?
