You’ve Got Snippets: November 1, 2025

Dear Knitter,

Happy Saturday!

This week’s big headline on the MDK marquee: Holiday Shop 2025 is here!

True to our fondness for the Sears catalog, there’s a Holiday Shop Lookbook for you to flip through in a dreamy, wishy way. It’s by MDK’s own Hannah Jones, so you know it’s lush.

But wait, there’s more: on November 19, we will be hosting a free Holiday Shop party for all on Zoom. Fun times! Prizes for which you must be present to win! BYO festive beverage!

RSVP here and we’ll send you the Zoom link and a reminder email on the day.

Take Your Shot

Next Friday, just in time for documenting festive holiday doings and knittings, photographer Gale Zucker is bringing us a virtual version of her revelation-filled class, Photographing Your Knits.

Gale has been teaching the in-person version of this workshop to makers for years, to rave reviews. Gale’s actionable, intuitive teachings will improve your photos instantly—it happened to us, so we know!

Join us on November 7! Read all about it, and sign up here.

In Nashville News…

A few spots remain for Patti Odinak’s fabulous Nash Yarn Fest Getaway trip next April. Patti knows how to pamper and delight knitters, so this trip will be extra special. Read all about it here.

Meanwhile…

We had a big time on MDK this week.

Anagram, or onomatopoeia? Whatever tinking is, it’s essential to fixing mistakes, and Kate Atherley shows us how.

Many people make a special handknit for fall fiber festivals, but none is a more giddy race to the finish line than Samantha Brunson’s Rhinebeck sweater.

A very special Pattern Scout: Kaffe Fassett forever.

Desperately seeking affirmations for knitting an oversized pullover on size 1 needles.

Barbara Kingsolver! Literal mountaintop moments! The Extreme Knitting Calendar has something for everyone.

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
