Dear knitter,

Welcome to your Saturday!

Exciting news: after a long hiatus, the Skill Set Box of Joy is finally back—and in a beautiful new colorway.

We worked on this deluxe learn-to-knit kit for a long time, wanting to get every element as perfect as we could. But even so, we’ve been amazed at its popularity. It’s the best way we know to share the joy of knitting with someone special. If you’ve been waiting for its return, get it while we’ve got it.

Meanwhile . . .

We had a big time on MDK this week.

It’s always a delight to get a letter from Paris, and this one was especially sweet. Thank you, cher Franklin Habit, for hopping on a train so you could be our eyes, ears, and needles at last weekend’s sheep-shearing festival at the French National Sheepfold in Rambouillet. Next year, we all go!

An experienced knitter is a brand-new weaver—and oh boy, does Mary Lou Egan make it look like fun.

Jen Geigley made it with Atlas, and it’s a cushy, cozy cardigan the color of springtime.

The party’s not nearly over. Ann’s casting on an epic Arne & Carlos pullover to cap her winter sweater season, and it’s a beaut.

To watch this weekend: the kind of movie DG Strong goes absolutely nuts for.

Remember to enter this week’s giveaway by midnight Central time Sunday night. The winner will choose 3 MDK Field Guides from the 23 (so far!) in our series of little books filled with big knitting joy.

If you’re new to MDK, sit down and knit with us for a while. Our mission is to elevate the knitting life, by providing fresh content every day of the year, plus exciting designers, friendly community, and a first-class shopping experience. Questions? Email us anytime at hello@moderndailyknitting.com, and you’ll get a prompt personal response from a real live MDK person.

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

Love,

Ann and Kay
