New Year, New Class

This is a great one! Coming up this Friday, January 9, Lorilee Beltman’s Cable Boot Camp will take both beginners and seasoned cable knitters to the next level of ease and competence, with techniques and tips that really pay off.

All Steeking, No Shrieking

Fear of steeking, begone! Join us on January 16 for a virtual workshop with the steady, calm, supremely knowledgeable Michele Bernstein. Details are on the sign up page here.

Earlybirds, It’s Getting Late

Join the MDK Society now so you can enjoy the amazing guests coming to The Snippets Show in the new year. January: Joji Locatelli! February: Stephen West!

Meanwhile …

Buckle your seatbelts—and gather your yarn! The most popular knitalong of the MDK year, Bang Out a Sweater, starts on January 30. If speed is your thing, you’ll have a brand-new Waffle Pullover by February 28—or take your time and savor every stitch of this sweet ride of a pattern.

More knitters equals more fun, so we hope you’ll join us. Read all about the knitalong here. Sign up for the three-part workshop with the great Lorilee Beltman here.

Hope you didn’t miss one: Our Top 25 Posts of 2025.

We set off on a new journey with Kate Atherley: sweaters that are knit in pieces and seamed. Kate loves them, and so do Ann and Kay.

Samantha Brunson took us with her for an exhilarating encounter with Faith Ringgold’s energetic needlework.

Adrienne Martini found out that she could get in quite a bit of trouble, quite quickly, by looking into Pattern Scout posts of the past.

Need some knitting company this weekend? Settle in for a cozy murder in a cold town.
