You’ve Got Snippets: December 13, 2025

Dear Knitter,

Happy Saturday!

What’s that gorgeous thing? It’s the Sonia Scarf, the MDK-exclusive design for Natalie Chanin’s virtual workshop on adding beads to your hand-sewing, coming up on January 23. Please sign up now—we want to be sure you receive your exquisite handmade kit in time for the workshop.

Tomorrow Is the Day!

You’re cordially invited, in person or in Zoom-ness, to MDK’s jolly holiday hangout on Sunday, December 14. Here’s what’s in store.

If you’re in Nashville…

Join us at MDK World Headquarters. Friends, shopping, snacks. No charge!

Of course, there will be sitting and knitting—bring your current project and get ready to share with everybody. Folks are coming from all over to our knitting parties; this one is going to be superfestive.

Special fun: The MDK Shop at Atlas is full of local chocolate and special things for you right now. With your purchase of $50 or more, pick a skein from our batch of one-of-a-kind Atlas x Madeline Tosh!

When: Sunday, December 14, from noon until 5 p.m.

Where: 441 Atlas Drive, Nashville, TN 37211

If you’re at home…

We’ll be celebrating online as well. Join us on Zoom from 2-3:30 Eastern time. RSVP here to receive an email with the Zoom link on Dec. 14.

We will be in breakout rooms for some of the time, the better to chat, help, and get to know each other. Just old-school, real-time fun!

During the Zoom, Kay will be knitting a holiday garland using the brand-new knittable typeface from Switzerland, Knit Hello. If you’d like to knit along (totally optional!) find out what you’ll need to bring in Kay’s post here. And order the downloadable ebook here.

It’s Not Too Late to Journal with Felix!

Yesterday afternoon we had a great time at our last virtual workshop of 2025: Journaling for the New Year with Felix Ford. Felix led us through non-perfectionist ways to create a visual touchstone for the turning of the year. The Felix EffectTM was fully activated.

If you feel like you missed it, no you didn’t: sign up this weekend, and we’ll send you the class recording link to watch at your convenience. Included: a download of Felix’s printable sticker-stamps, to help make your journal truly your own.

Please act now—we have to take the listing down on Monday.

Attention Holiday Shoppers

Looking for a great gift for friends, family, or yourself? Cozy up this weekend with our Holiday Shop lookbook. (Here it is!) Order now to give it a chance to arrive before the holiday.

Or make it easy: an MDK Gift Card is sure to make a knitter merry.

Meanwhile…

We had a big time on MDK this week.

So you want a game of wool? Clara Parkes—and a lively comment section—suggest other wool games, where everybody wins.

Dana Williams-Johnson on the comfort of gingerbread (knitting). 

It’s called the world’s toughest row, and they’re not talking about lace. In this incredible story, a knitter takes to the ocean.

Ann is at play in the fields of Jane, having a fabulous time with a Tin Can Knits pattern.

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.

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
