On December 13, just in time for the holidays, join our virtual workshop. External Link. Opens in new window. 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. We can’t wait, and we hope you’ll join us. External Link. Opens in new window..

Your Support Is Everything—Thank You!
At MDK, engaging, entertaining, and lifting up knitters 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. External Link. Opens in new window.. 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 he***@*****************ng.com. External Link. Opens in new window., and you’ll get a prompt response from a real live MDK person.
Stay healthy, take care of each other, and knit on.
Love,
