You’ve Got Snippets: April 22, 2023

Dear knitter,

Welcome to your Saturday! 

Big news. In a few days, we’ll be launching a new 2023 edition of the MDK website.

Most of it will be totally invisible to you! It’s the website equivalent of getting a new water heater, HVAC, and gutters. Not glamorous, but the sort of things that make life run well.

In order to switch to the new site, we’ll need to close the MDK Shop for shopping on Monday, April 24, 11:00 am Central until Tuesday, April 25, 11:00 am. The rest of MDK will remain open. In other words: please shop your hearts out this weekend so we can pay the gargantuan bill for this project. 😉

Scroll down for our latest temptations for you. 

Olga Workshop June 10–11: It’s a Hit!

We are almost at capacity for our in-depth workshop with Olga Buraya-Kefelian. If you’ve already signed up, we cannot wait to see you in Nashville. If you haven’t, come join us! Many folks come to our events solo and leave with newfound friends. Registration and details are here. 

Meanwhile . . .

We had a big time on MDK this week.

We love Carol Feller. And so did the crowd who tuned in for our Zoom conversation on Monday. If you missed this special event with the designer of Field Guide No. 14: Refresh, watch it right here.

We’re extending our MDK Gems promotion, so snap up some Nua Sport. The ebook version of Field Guide No. 14: Refresh is free with your purchase of Nua Sport in any amount.

For everybody who’s sick of gun violence, Ann’s pep talk resonated with a lot of readers. 

Nell Ziroli’s new Shakerag Skirt design is the stuff of summer dreamydreams. Rumor has it that all the cool kids are making one.

It’s A to Z with the coolest, modern knitted alphabet we’ve seen. Kay is a goner for it. Join her spontaneous knitalong.

Our resident book lover Jillian Moreno sets us up with nine choice knitting books.

Loving Black Opry: settle in for DG’s hotlist of country, Americana, blues, and folk by Black artists.

New yarn alert! Spincycle’s newest yarn, Trine (rhymes with divine) is a triumph. MDK’s trusty pattern scout found seven great ways to give Trine a try.

Remember to enter this week’s giveaway by midnight Central time Sunday night. There’s Rowan Handknit Cotton and baby patterns for the winner this week.

Thanks for being a part of MDK! Our mission is to elevate the knitting life, by publishing something new every day of the year, plus exciting designers, friendly community, and a first-class shopping experience. 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
