You’ve Got Snippets: August 24, 2024

Dear Knitter,

Happy Saturday!

Have you heard? The MDK Summer Sale is on!

Head on over to our sale page, where you’ll find bargains galore, with reductions up to 50 percent. (Psst: We’ve added a few new treats.) Then come right back here for all the news of the week.

A Great New Class Is Coming!

Learn intarsia with one of its great teachers, designer Florence Spurling. Coming up on October 11, this virtual workshop features the beautifully manageable motifs of Florence’s stunning Elvan Shawl.

We’re offering a gorgeous kit, or you can opt to bring your own yarn and take the class by itself. Read all about it and sign up here.

It’s Almost Time for Natalie Chanin

The best way to learn a new skill is from someone who knows how. Our upcoming virtual workshop with the legendary Natalie Chanin will give you the keys to the kingdom of exquisite hand-stitching. Opportunities to learn with Natalie herself are rare, and we’re over the moon to offer this workshop. For all the details, and to register, click here.

Meanwhile …

We had a big time on MDK this week.

With joy, we revealed the designer for MDK Field Guide No. 28, which will launch on September 12. Quick—go see who it is!

What’s the big deal about DK-weight socks? MDK’s yarn detective Jillian Moreno knows the answer.

Come meet our new friend, Jane! We’ll be introducing Jane at a free Zoom event on August 28. Sign up here.

It was once impolite for women to paint. Jeni Hankins took us with her to the Tate Britain’s exhibit on scandalous women and the art they left behind.

The simple life of the 19th century was far from an easy life. Take it from MDK’s own 1840s time traveler, Adrienne Martini.
