You’ve Got Snippets: February 18, 2023

Dear knitter,

Welcome to your Saturday! 

It’s MDK Gem time! This month, we’re shining the mighty MDK sunbeam on one of our all-time favorite projects, Nancy Marchant’s Honeycomb Scarf from Field Guide No. 21: Brioche. 

A Special Deal

Now through February 22, when you order a Honeycomb Scarf Bundle, we’ll include—free!—the ebook download of Field Guide No. 21: Brioche, where you’ll find the Honeycomb Scarf pattern. (Check your order confirmation email—that’s where you’ll find the download link.) Offer good while supplies last, and they’re going fast. 

How does this cool stitch work? Here’s a quick how-to video.

Meanwhile . . .

We had a big time on MDK this week. 

From the Department of Drop Everything and Knit This: Ann’s latest spontaneous cast-on is Amy Christoffers’s latest pattern, the Pressed Flowers Cowl. To jump on this delightful bandwagon, check out Ann’s colorway suggestions. 

This month’s self-care tip from Max Daniels is short and sweet (like her feet). 

Please join us in extending a hearty MDK welcome to Claudia B. Manley, whose reflections on the radical act of getting dressed started a lively conversation in the comments. 

Jillian Moreno popped in this week with a book review. It’s the wild and woolly pandemic memoir: Unraveling: What I Learned About Life While Shearing Sheep, Dyeing Wool, and Making the World’s Ugliest Sweater by Peggy Orenstein. 

Our Knit to This recommendation celebrates the incredible, indelible songs of Burt Bacharach. 

Remember to enter this week’s giveaway by midnight Central time Sunday night. This week we’re giving away two little things we don’t want to live (or knit) without: Flower Stitch Markers and Soak Laundry Soap.

If you’re new to MDK, welcome. We’re here every day, with something fun for knitters. Our mission is to elevate the knitting life, by providing free daily content, exciting designers, friendly community, and a first-class shopping experience. If you have a question, or something is not right, email us at hello@moderndailyknitting.com, and you’ll get a prompt personal response from Nathan or Kay.  

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

Love,

Ann and Kay
