You’ve Got Snippets: June 17, 2023
Dear knitter,
Welcome to your Saturday!
It’s MDK Gems time, and we’ve got log cabin fever.
Field Guide No. 4: Log Cabin is the classic, perfect guide to log cabin knitting. It teaches all the techniques you need to make a lifetime supply of log cabin projects.
Our guide? One of the world’s leading log cabin enthusiasts, Kay Gardiner, who explains it all for you via a set of wee log cabin dishcloths. Plus two additional designs, Ann Weaver’s Sommerfeld Shawl and Kay’s Ninepatch Blanket.
Here’s the Deal
Order any quantity of Rowan Handknit Cotton, the queen of dishcloth yarns, and we’ll include a free PDF download of the ebook edition of Field Guide No. 4: Log Cabin. (A $9.95 value.) Offer good through Wednesday, June 21. (The download link will appear in your order confirmation email—and your MDK account.)
Meanwhile . . .
We had a big time on MDK this week.
A really big time! Kay and Ann sent postcards from knitting heaven. Two epic events, over five days in Sewanee and Nashville, filled with happy knitters from all over.
Kate Atherley taught us the handy and powerful crochet cast-on—just in time to use it for projects in Field Guide No. 24: Spark! (It’s almost as if we planned this.)
Kitchen knitting is not without its hazards. Find out how Ann’s Belinda Wrap fared.
Revel in color and travel with Jeni Hankins to Edinburgh’s Dovecot Studios for Kaffe Fassett The Power of Pattern.
Listen in on our conversation with Olga Buraya-Kefelian, the designer for MDK Field Guide No. 24: Spark. We’re struck by Olga’s modesty—she’s completely brilliant.
Remember to enter this week’s giveaway by midnight Central time Sunday night. The prize: two balls of Kidsilk Haze to make Olga’s free pattern, the Nymphadora Scarf, or a floaty design of your own choosing.
Thanks for everything you do to support MDK. Every morning, we bring you the best writers, teachers, and designers we know. Beautifully presented and freely shared—and every bit funded by your purchases in the MDK Shop.
If you haven’t shopped with us yet, we urge you to support what you love, and have a great shopping experience while you’re at it. And if you have shopped with us, THANK YOU—you’re the best. No really, you are.
Questions? Email us anytime at hello@moderndailyknitting.com, and you’ll get a prompt personal response from a real live MDK person.
Stay healthy, take care of each other, and knit on.
Love,
Ann and Kay

YOU CAN TAKE IT WITH YOU
We’ve got your new travel project right here. The Belinda Wrap is an airy scarf/shawl that only takes a few ounces of our favorite featherweight yarn, Kidsilk Haze. More room in your suitcase for swimsuits and souvenirs, and companionable knitting for the journey.
Two balls each of color A and color B, and off you go—with this luminous palette, color pairing is a breeze. See Ann’s choices here.
JOY IS BACK
The Skill Set Box of Joy is back in stock—in a beautiful new colorway.
We worked on this deluxe learn-to-knit kit for a long time, wanting to get every element as perfect as we could. But even so, we’ve been amazed at its popularity. It’s the best way we know to share the joy of knitting with someone special. If you’ve been waiting for its return, get it while we’ve got it.
