You’ve Got Snippets: December 21, 2024

Dear knitter,

Happy Saturday!

Today’s the day—our biggest sale ever is on NOW. The general public will find out on Monday, but you, beloved Snippets reader, get to shop today.

A whopper! A doorbuster! The biggest big that ever bigged! Up to 50% off—we cordially invite you to visit our Sale page and come clear out our Shop!

Shipping will happen beginning January 2. After a year at MDK that can best be described as a humdinger, the MDK team is taking time off  to a) make eggnog cinnamon rolls, b) watch tons of movies, and c) spend time with our friends and family and furry companions. Thank you for your patience in waiting for your order to arrive in the new year.

Lock In Introductory Pricing Now

Coming in January, the MDK Society is a brand-new adventure. The benefits of membership are many—and we will be adding more fun as the year gets going. The savings start immediately—members save 10 percent on our wonderful virtual workshops, and on full-price merchandise in the MDK Shop, now and throughout 2025.

Join by December 31 to take advantage of our introductory membership price—it will go up in January. Thanks so much to everyone who’s taken the leap and signed up already. We are working hard to make you glad you did.

The Snippets Show!

The first edition of The Snippets Show, the monthly MDK Society Zoom, will go live on January 8, when our special guests will be the beloved Norwegian designers and personalities Arne and Carlos. We’ll talk about knitting, Norway, and their upcoming trip to Nashville in March 2025, when they’ll headline at Nash Yarn Fest.

The Snippets Show is exclusive to MDK Society members, with the live Zoom taking place at noon Eastern on January 8, and the video recording going out to all MDK Society members shortly thereafter. It’s another great reason to join the MDK Society.

Meanwhile…

We had a big time on MDK this week.

In his latest letter from Paris, Franklin Habit’s been in stitches—and not the kind we like.

The sweet spot between Cher and SNL’s Delicious Dish—that’s where we’re aiming The Snippets Show, which will debut on January 8 with the specialest of special guests.

Samantha Brunson wants to know: what are your knitty/crafty/stashy resolutions for 2025?

At MDK, making knitters happy is all we think about, every single day. If you love what we’re doing, it’s vital—and easy—to support MDK.

And also, whenever you shop with MDK, sign up for a workshop, or share our content with others, you’re directly supporting the yarnmakers, artisans, teachers, and writers that we feature here. It’s a daily challenge to make our tiny business go, and we’re grateful to everyone who helps us do that. Thank you!

Build a Beautiful Knitting Community with Us!

The MDK Society is our vision of what a knitting community can be—online and in real life. The benefits of membership are amazing—and there are surprises in the works, too.

We need you, and we will be delighted to have you—please join the MDK Society. The savings start immediately—10 percent off on events, and in the MDK Shop all year long!

If you’re interested in our thinking behind the MDK Society, we share that here. The upshot: We want to keep MDK’s wonderful daily content freely available to all, without cheesy ads (ew) or sponsored content (nope)—and we want to focus more on knitting and fun and less on marketing.

 Your MDK Society membership will help us make it happen. Thank you so much.
