Happy New Year: Let’s Get Inspired
It’s a brand-new year, knitters. And the beginning of a new decade!
While we look ahead to a great year of Knitting All the Things, we’re also looking back at the year just ended. Life comes at you fast, and when you publish new content every day, it’s easy to miss something good.
MDK’s Inspiration category is the rabbit hole where we stash some of the best stuff we find. Snoop around the whole category for juicy motivational goodness and knitterly eye candy. To whet your appetite, here are a few Inspiration snippets from 2019:
Prepare to be wowed by the sweater-knittingest knitter we know.
Celebrate the simple, familiar beauty of tools.
A dog in a sweater, and also: dogs on sweaters.
Our favorite way to pick colors.
The thrill of our knitting lives.
It’s time: self-care planning for 2020.
Think big. Real big.
The poetry of ripping and re-knitting.
That should get you started.
Knitting spirit of a new decade: Activate!
Happy New Year to you, too. Thanks for the beautiful inspiration,
and the surprises… I can’t wait to see what y’all bring to 2020.
Happy New Year everyone! Here’s to a fresh new (reorganized) knitting plan for 2020. I can’t wait to see what comes next.
Just ordered Dogs on Sweaters…..Happy Knitting 2020
Well I am ready to jump right in! I have been knitting very OFF and a little on since I was 15. 69 now and approaching 70, I picked it up again. I am doing a shaw pattern I loved at first sight. I have ripped out 3 times now. I have been rather discouraged. I found your outstandingly wonderful site and I determined I was going to practice and learn about everything from sheep and loft and how it affects choices in what yarn can be used to get the desired result. And 1619 which I have shared over and over again. You have drawn me in and I am encouraged. Getting ready to go right back to starting my project yet again. My friend might get her Christmas shaw gift in July. But it will be beautifully made with much love and learning and perhaps mistake free.
Really good site, have got lots of ideas and help with projects. Only wish I had time to try everything
Not to be picky, but I AM picky: It’s actually the end of the OLD decade. (1 is the first, 10 is the last.) But since it’s the year of seeing clearly, this OLD optometrist is celebrating 2020!!
MDK and DWJ have been by best inspirations in 2019 – long may it continue <3
Grafting…..just learned that there are so many techniques..attempting to graft the lamplighter’s hat by Adrienne larsen….do not attempt if tired…deb
Last year was not a stellar year. This year can only be an improvement and I thank you all for always being the bright spot in my email.
Knit Onward !
Trying not to think that this is the year I will have gone 80 times around the sun.. Really feeling well and feeling grateful and looking forward to making things for family. You two brighten my day every morning. I do get inspired to get busy on the Aran sweater I am knitting.
Happy New Year to Everyone. I feel very positive about 2020…..it is going to be a magical year! Be positive and not angry…smile more, live more and love more.
