You’ve Got Snippets: December 28, 2024

Dear knitter,

Happy Saturday!

We hope you’re all snuggled up this weekend, basking in the seasonal glow and grazing the cookie tins with a mug of hot cider.

Looking for wholesome fun? Our big year-end sale is on NOW.

A whopper! A doorbuster! Up to 50% off—we cordially invite you to visit our Sale page and help clear out our Shop!

Shipping will happen beginning January 2. After a year at MDK that can best be described as a humdinger, the whole team is taking time off to eat bread and desserts and just get all fat and sassy. (This Snippets was written by an elf.) 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 amazing—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—which 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 the MDK Society New York’s hottest club.

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.

A brand-new class with Patty Lyons is cause for excitement!  It’s coming up soon, and we’d love to have you with us.

What’s your word of the year for 2025? Kay’s has 4 letters.

Flash sale on Atlas! Now through December 31, put any quantity of Atlas in your cart and enter the coupon code 4LETTER at checkout. No other discounts apply, not good on retroactive purchases.

On Christmas Day, we offered solace for the handknit gifts that didn’t quite cross the finish line in time— in the form of a bingo card.

She’s a regular Jean Valjean: Adrienne Martini celebrates yuletide with unfamiliar fishes and felonious waffles.

Who’s afraid of the big, bad sweater curse? Not our Atlas Insider. Well maybe just a little afraid. Help her out!

Your Support Is Everything—Thank You!

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.

One great way, of course: join the MDK Society. And also, whenever yaou 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!

Questions? Email us anytime at hello@moderndailyknitting.com,  and you’ll get a prompt response from a real live MDK person.

Stay healthy, take care of each other, and knit on.

Love,

Ann and Kay

PS Please forward this Snippets to a knitter friend—we appreciate it so much!

Coming Up in 2025: Virtual Workshops!

Coming up Jan. 10!

One of our favorite questions is: what’s next?

This is a big one!

Check it out and sign up here.

And Feb. 7: A Gorgeous Shawl Workshop

One of our favorite people, Ann Weaver, joins us to teach mosaic knitting. The project stopped us in our tracks when we first saw it: the Pines and Needles Shawl.

A Really Big MDK Sale.

We have what knitters want.

Now on MDK

Our superfun Nash Yarn Fest merch has a new home on the MDK Shop page. Get your gear before the big day and be on the lookout—even more snazzy swag to come!

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.
