You’ve Got Snippets: November 11, 2023

Dear knitter,

Welcome to your Saturday!

’Tis the season: the season when we ask you to support all the free daily fun at MDK—including everybody’s favorite pajama read, Snippets—by subscribing to the three MDK Field Guides we will publish in 2024. 

Subscribers are the wind beneath MDK’s wings. To show our gratitude, we’ve added more benefits for 2024 subscribers. Special holiday shop pricing makes this an easy decision. Read all about it and subscribe here. And thank you. 

While you’re at it, our Holiday Shop lookbook makes it easy to find gifts for the folks in your life. Just click on the image—you can shop directly from the lookbook. Wow!

Meanwhile . . .

We had a big time on MDK this week.

We all scream, for Fronk-leen! In his latest letter from Paris, Franklin Habit leads us on a yarn crawl that’s altogether ooky. 

We like to party—and make gnomes. (Join us on December 8 in Nashville!) 

Does Joji & Co. make a great bag, or what? Our two favorites are here now. 

When knitting is a main character: readers loved learning the story behind bestselling author Caroline Leavitt’s new novel. Bring a hankie—and your knitting. 

Looking for something jolly to knit to this weekend? Here you go. 

Remember to enter our giveaway by midnight tomorrow night. The prize: that perennial star of the MDK Holiday Shop, an MDK Gift Card for $25.00. Instant happiness is hard to find, but an MDK Gift Card will make a knitter’s day as fast as you can hit send on an email—no Scotch tape needed.

As ever, we thank you all for supporting MDK through thick and thin. Every morning, we bring the best writers, teachers, and knitting to you, free of charge. This is only possible because of your purchases from the MDK Shop—thank you!

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’re Invited: Come See Us in Nashville

On Friday afternoon, December 8, we’ll be throwing open the doors of our beloved MDK World Headquarters in Nashville for festive shopping and togetherness, to get us in a holiday mood. The team is hanging the gnome garlands and firing up the Li’l Smokies crockpot for this one! This event is open to all. $15 holds your place and will be credited back to purchases. Get your ticket here.

Bonus fun: Come hang with us, then head over to Porter Flea, Nashville’s stupendous maker market with 230 superb vendors. Their festive preview night starts December 8 at 6:00 PM, tickets here. (They sell out early, so don’t snooze.)

On the Go

This year’s MDK Holiday Shop is all about going places and going home—whether you’re commuting, traveling, or just want the comfort of quiet time, we’ve found useful and beautiful things for you.

Joji & Co. Stasher Tote. We found THE forever bag for your knitting adventures—and beyond—from the one and only Joji Locatelli.

Travel Sewing Kit. The finest materials, Italian made.

Steel Storage Box. One for every crafting pursuit! Collect all five colors.

Jingle Bell Included

If you’re dreaming of knitting somebody a Christmas stocking, it’s pretty much Go Time. In our New Ancestral Stocking Kit, you’ll find four jolly shades of Atlas yarn that can make two stockings if you change the order of colors on your second stocking. And—you get your very own jingle bell.

Want to dream up your own merry colors? The pattern is available separately here. Choose your own four colors of Atlas!

The Most Delicious Treats

To give or (really) to keep for yourself. A bundle of chocolate from our favorite Nashville chocolate maker, Olive and Sinclair. The brand-new 2024 MDK Calendar Tea Towel picturing knitters doing their thing. And the best peanut butter, like, ever.
