You’ve Got Snippets: July 13, 2024

Dear Knitter,

Happy Saturday!

We have a treat for your tootsies: the Field Guide that started our sock obsession is the star of our brand-new MDK Gems offer.

The special deal?

When you order any quantity of two special sock yarns, we’ll email you a free ebook for Field Guide No. 11: Wanderlust.

We’ve just received two fingering weight yarns that have long been favorites: Neighborhood Fiber Co. Organic Studio Sock and Zauberball Crazy. We love the socktacular color of these babies.

Field Guide No. 11: Wanderlust is one of our most popular Field Guides. Wendy Bernard explains the basics of fingering-weight sock making—toe up, cuff down—with a set of 13 knit-purl stitch patterns to mix and match for endlessly beautiful results with fingering-weight sock yarns.

If you’re having fun with the DK-weight socks of our new Field Guide No. 27: Sock Odyssey, you’ll love Wanderlust. They make perfect companions in your handmade sock journey.

Please be sure to order by Tuesday, July 16.
