You’ve Got Snippets: February 25, 2023

Dear knitter,

Welcome to your Saturday! 

If this is your year to knit a temperature blanket, you’re in good company. Kay had so much fun last year that she’s doing it again in 2023. 

If you feel the slightest symptoms of temperature blanket fever, we advise you to take a pack of Felted Tweed and call us in the morning. We’ll be here all year, cheering you on. You are cordially invited to join the lively conversation in the MDK Lounge, where your fellow temperature blanketeers are full of ideas, opinions, and advice.

Our popular Temperature Blanket Starter Packs make the hard part—picking colors—easy. Each pack has 11 or 22 vibrant skeins of one of the greatest yarns known to knitterdom, Rowan Felted Tweed. Plus: you’ll save 10 percent off the single-skein price.

All the Felted Tweed.

Meanwhile . . .

We had a big time on MDK this week. 

Ann can’t put down her Pressed Flowers Cowl—and she wants everybody on the bandwagon. Come check out Ann’s color combos. 

Creating pockets is so simple—when Jen Arnall-Culliford shows you how. 

Jillian Moreno led us on an exploration of MDK’s newest yarn offering, Norwegian Wool. 

It makes you wonder why Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail were bunnies: Carol Sulcoski brought us the tale of Beatrix Potter’s flock of sheep. 

In this week’s Atlas Insider, we had the thrill of hosting a workshop with our beloved friend Natalie Chanin—making her an Atlas Insider, too. 

Remember to enter this week’s giveaway by midnight Central time Sunday night. Three winners will each receive a copy of Natalie Chanin’s beautiful Embroidery: Threads and Stories from Alabama Chanin and the School of Making.

If you’re new to MDK, welcome. Our mission is to elevate the knitting life, by providing new content daily, plus exciting designers, friendly community, and a first-class shopping experience. Questions? Email us anytime at hello@moderndailyknitting.com, and you’ll get a prompt personal response from Nathan or Kay.  

Stay healthy, take care of each other, and knit on.

Love,

Ann and Kay
