You’ve Got Snippets: September 20, 2025

Dear Knitter,

Happy Saturday! 

Have you heard? We’re diving into the sparkling world of beaded knitting with the wonderful Jeanette Sloan in a virtual workshop on October 24. Read all about it and sign up here. 

Up Next Week: Cecelia! 

We’ve been waiting for this one: a rare opportunity to learn with one of the great knitting minds, Ceceila Campochiaro, whose new book explores reversible knitting. Next Friday, September 26, Cecelia will be teaching Reversible Cables: Virtual Workshop with Cecelia Campochiaro. 

A few sumptuous Ito Yarn kits remain—or you can opt for the class pass only, and bring your own yarn for the versatile Wriley Shawl. 

Meanwhile…

We had a big time on MDK this week.

It’s called couture, dolls—look it up! Tune in for part deux of Franklin Habit’s tale of Marianne. 

The collective noun for Ann Shayne’s sweater collection is: an assortment. See how 36 sweaters got sorted. 

Turning stash fails turned into well-loved and useful items is just one of the reasons Jeania Ree Moore loves to knit stripes. 

Burnout feels like jail. Max Daniels offers us a file in a cake to help us break out. 

There is a lavish amount of knitting time waiting for you in this 2002 barn burner of a period drama. (And if that’s not enough spite and ballgowns for you, there’s always the 1967 version—and a forthcoming 2026 version!) 

Your Support Is Everything—Thank You!

Seriously grateful that you hang out with us at MDK. In person, at virtual talks and workshops, and in our comments section—we love to connect knitters, and connect with knitters. 

One way to support all that goes on here: the MDK Society. Your MDK Society membership will repay you in fun, connection, and community. (And 10% savings on classes and full-price stuff, plus special opportunities.)

Questions? Email us anytime at he***@*****************ng.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
