You’ve Got Snippets: November 23, 2024

Dear knitter,

Happy Saturday!

With year-end holidays roaring into view, we’re looking for a moment of calm and positivity, possibly involving stickers. Join us on December 6 for a rare opportunity to spend time working in our bullet journals with our friend, the bright light and force for good Felix Ford. Read more about this virtual workshop and sign up here.

Tiny Cats, Going Fast

On December 13, just in time for the holidays, it’s a virtual workshop with Anna Hrachovec, the legendary creator of Mochimochi Land’s darling creatures. We’ll be making tiny cats, together. An adorable kit comes with this experience. The class will be filled soon, so if diminutive felines are your dream, join us now!

It’s our annual pride and joy: the MDK Holiday Shop. For 2024, Team MDK has put together an extraordinary collection of bundles, workshops, crafts, and gifts, for the delight of you and the lucky loved ones on your list. Dive into the Lookbook, or zoom through it with Ann and Kay here.

Meanwhile…

We had a big time on MDK this week.

It’s cold and damp in Paris, but Franklin Habit keeps things luxurious, calm, and sensual.

One of our favorite ways to sew a shoulder seam doesn’t involve any sewing—it’s the three-needle bindoff! Kate Atherley teaches us how.

Samantha Brunson leads the way to ten amazing people who fill our bucket when the creative well runs dry.

The craft table at MDK World Headquarters has been a busy place lately.

Who’s more excited: Ann about the pure fun of Anna Hrachovec’s tiny cats, or Kay about breaking out her sticker stash with the serenity-strengthening Felix Ford? Guess what: we can do both! And we hope you will.

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 you 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.

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.
