🎂🔥 DAY 22 — TODAY WE'RE THANKFUL FOR YARN! 🧶❤️
Good morning, CMK! We have made it to DAY 22 of our 30 Days to ONE Anniversary Engagement Challenge! We are officially into the FINAL STRETCH now. 🔥🎉 Before we get into today's gratitude question, it's time to check in. 🔥 HOW DID YOU DO YESTERDAY? 👇 Drop your Day 21 total in the comments: 🔥 DAY 21 — _____ activities Whether you sailed past 100, landed right on it, or didn't quite get there, I still want your number! Every day doesn't have to be perfect. We just keep showing up and adding another day to our totals. ❤️ 🧶 TODAY'S GRATITUDE — LET'S TALK YARN! We've spent October talking about some of the people and experiences we're thankful for. But there's something VERY important we've been neglecting... THE YARN! 😂🧶 Today I want to know: ❤️ WHAT YARN ARE YOU THANKFUL EXISTS? You know the one. That yarn you reach for again and again. The one that runs beautifully through your circular knitting machine. The one with colours you can't resist. The one that feels amazing when the project is finished. Or maybe it's the yarn that has saved you when you needed something inexpensive that actually WORKS! 😂 Tell us: 🧶 What yarn is it? ❤️ Why do you love it? ⚙️ What machine do you use it on? 😍 And if you have a favourite project you've made with it, tell us that too! This could actually become a fantastic resource for everyone because we might discover some new yarns to try based on what other CMK members recommend. Although I'm not entirely sure encouraging this group to buy MORE YARN is responsible of me. 🤣🤣🤣 🔥 YOUR DAY 22 MISSION: 1️⃣ Give me your Day 21 activity total. 2️⃣ Tell us about a yarn you're thankful for and WHY you love it. Then read through everyone else's answers, ask questions and see whether you discover your next favourite yarn along the way. Just remember... If you end up buying six new balls of yarn because of today's post... I accept absolutely NO responsibility. 😂🧶 🎂 DAY 22 — LET'S GO! We're getting closer and closer to our anniversary celebration and the end of this challenge.

@Louise Brau it’s worth the money. There are a few others with the same ball winder. You can ask how they find it and if it’s worth the cost. I have never regretted my purchase.

@Lori Norris I like to hand wind my yarn as well.
Trying different yarns
Trying some different yarns with the Caydo to see how it does. Here are a couple more hats I made for my coworkers. They are from a warmer climate and not used to a Midwest winter. . They wanted black or grey for the color. I hope they like them.

Your hats look great. @Shanon Wosz I love the colours.
First Caydo project
I didn't get the chance to test my new Caydo on the day of arrival (Monday), but this evening after work, I put it together and did a test using the yarn it came with. Happy I didn't have any issues or drop stitches. I made this two-color adult double-walled beanie (130 rows). It was simple and easy to change yarn/colors and did the same I had previously done on my other knitting machines. Can't wait to try more!

I have been an avid maker (knitter, crocheter, sewist) and knitting instructor for many years. Machine knitting is my latest thing. 🧡
