You’ve Got Snippets: March 9, 2024

Dear Knitter,

Welcome to your Saturday!

It’s MDK Gems time—hurrah! This month we’re shining the love beams on Carol Feller’s amazing custom-milled yarn, Nua Sport. We’re proud to carry all 17 shades of Nua Sport in the MDK Shop.

From now through Wednesday, March 13, when you order any quantity of Nua Sport, we’ll include a free PDF download of Field Guide No. 14: Refresh, a collection of four patterns by Carol Feller using Nua Sport. It’s a $9.95 value.

Scroll down to see the four designs—they’re glorious and all call for Nua Sport.

If Nua Sport is new to you, see why our resident yarn detective Jillian Moreno calls it mouth-wateringly delicious.

Plus, Carol joins us next week!

We’re hosting a free Zoom conversation with Carol Feller on Tuesday, March 12 at noon Eastern time. She’ll be joining us from her home in Ireland. Sign up here and we’ll email you the Zoom link on the day.

Meanwhile…

We had a big time on MDK this week.

Roving photographer Gale Zucker took us inside a new community fleece-scouring facility that helps Hudson Valley sheep farmers bring their wool to market.

Color us intrigued! Jen Arnall-Culliford scouted out delightful fancy hat patterns.

Leave it to Sarah Ross’s recipe file to give us an indulgence that comforts and reassures far more than it should for how quickly it’s made.

This weekend, sit and knit in a gorgeous garden you don’t have to maintain.

A quick reminder: Every morning, we bring the best writers, teachers, and knitting to you, free of charge. This is possible only because of your purchases from the MDK Shop—thank you!

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

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

Love,

Ann and Kay

New Month, New MDK Gems

The Banging Out Has Begun

Our epic knit-a-whole-sweater-in-a-month extravaganza is back, starring the Crowberry Sweater by Hélène Magnússon. Join us for a mad dash—it’s the most popular event of the MDK year.

All the details are here. Despite the name, there’s no time pressure. Banging Out can be however you define it, but there will definitely be speedy finishers to light a fire under our needles.

Need Support? During March, legendary teacher Lorilee Beltman is our fearless leader for three in-depth sessions on the making of the Crowberry Sweater. Whether it’s your first sweater or your twentieth, you’ll leave this class with tons of confidence and new skills. Sign up here. The first two live sessions have taken place, but the recordings are available indefinitely as a lasting resource for everyone who takes the class.

Thinking of using Léttlopi for your Crowberry Sweater? We love that idea! Here’s how to make the switch—plus some sweet colorway suggestions from MDK’s best color minds.
