I'm so frustrated. I've been trying to make scarves, but my machine keeps snagging the yarn from underneath and then dropping stitches. So they're pulled in one spot and laddered in others. I've ripped the same scarf apart five times. I'm 99% sure it's the yarn, but it's all I have. I'm going to have to get some other yarn at Michaels or Walmart (the current stuff came from Hobby Lobby). Until then I'm putting away my Addi before I throw it across the room. Thanks for letting me vent!

I need your help! 💕 I've been working on giving our Circular Machine Knitting community a little visual refresh, and there's actually a strategy behind it. 🔎 What is Skool Discovery? Skool has a Discovery area where people can browse and search for communities they're interested in joining. Think of it a little like scrolling through Netflix, YouTube, or even Google search results. People see a whole bunch of communities competing for their attention — and they have to decide which ones they want to click on and learn more about. Our cover photo is one of the first things they see. Right now, our cover is our logo, which I still love and plan to keep as part of our branding. ❤️ But when it's shown beside lots of other communities in Discovery, it doesn't necessarily show people everything that's waiting for them inside our community. So... we're going to experiment! I've created two completely different cover options designed to show people at a glance that we're about: 🧶 Patterns 🎓 Classes & Learning 💬 Support ❤️ Community ✨ And helping you go from overwhelmed to confident with your circular knitting machine! But I don't want to choose the winner by myself. 👇 I WANT YOU TO VOTE! 🅰️ Cover A — Darker & Bolder 🅱️ Cover B — Lighter & Brighter Vote for the one you like best in the poll — THEN come into the comments and tell me WHY you chose it. And here's the question I especially want you to think about: 👉 If you didn't already know us and you saw these while browsing Skool Discovery, which one would make you stop, click, and find out more? That's what we're really trying to accomplish. You are the people who make this community what it is, so I can't think of a better group to help me choose our new look. 💕🧶 Cast your vote, then tell me WHY in the comments! 👇

Finished this up last night and this morning. Had my infant granddaughter here most of the day, so had no time to work on him. I think he turned out pretty well!

Looking for a fun project that's stylish, practical, and completely customizable? I've got something special for you! I have a FREE Shrug Pattern that you can follow along with on my YouTube channel. ❤️ One of the things I love about this project is how flexible it is. Instead of being designed for just one yarn, I'll show you how to calculate the size, so you can make it with almost any yarn you have in your stash! 🧶 Perfect for: ✅ Using up yarn you already own ✅ Learning how to size your own projects ✅ Creating a shrug that's uniquely yours ✅ Building confidence in your knitting skills While most of my step-by-step patterns, classes, and courses are exclusive to our Premium and VIP members, I also enjoy sharing a few free projects on YouTube so everyone can keep learning. If you haven't already, I'd love it if you'd subscribe to my YouTube channel. It helps support what I do and lets you know whenever I release new free tutorials, product reviews, yarn tips, and knitting inspiration. 📺 Watch the FREE Shrug Tutorial here: https://youtu.be/-QEaaH4avGQ If you make one, I'd love to see it!
