You’ve Got Snippets: May 18, 2024

Dear knitter,

Welcome to your Saturday!

This week at MDK World Headquarters, it was all hands on deck for the Great Mailing of the Subscription Copies for MDK Field Guide No. 27, which launches officially on May 31. Subscribers are oohing and aahing over the Field Guide, shopping the brand-new yarns, and getting 10 percent off their purchases.

If you’d like to join the fun, it’s not too late to be an earlybird! We can set you right up—just head over here. It’s the single best way to support all the free daily content here on MDK—and we’re so grateful.

Meanwhile…

We had a big time on MDK this week.

SUCH FUN. New MDK contributor Anna Hrachovec took us behind the scenes of her funny, relatable, and educational knitted kitties.

Are you a shawl kind of gal? Claudia B. Manley wasn’t, until she was.

Not that we’ve ever done this but…if you’ve ever set down a two-color brioche project and when you picked it back up you couldn’t remember which row you were on, Patty Lyons has a fix for that.

Auroras and sweaters—don’t you love knitting so much?

It doesn’t matter how good (or bad) the band—Ann loves music documentaries.

Support What You Love

At MDK, we have one job: making fun happen for knitters. Every morning, we bring the best writers, teachers, and knittertainment to you, free of charge and free of ads. Your purchases from the MDK Shop enable us to support a vibrant network of contributors, yarnmakers, and small businesses, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

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

PS Please forward this Snippets to a knitter—we appreciate it so much!
