You’ve Got Snippets: November 22, 2025

Dear knitter,

Happy Saturday!

We did it, and by golly we’re proud of ourselves.

Our very own yarn, Jane, is now twice as colorful—it’s a massive glow-up.

We just received our first shipment of eleven new colors of the yarn that has been described as a scrumptrelescent ode to Britishness.

Dive into the full palette of 22 colors here, and say hello to Frost, Lilac, Caladium, Clay, Earth, Vista, Celeste (which Kay will call Navy from now to the end of time), Pathos, Sage, Pampas, and Citronelle.

These new colors mean you have the opportunity to take an entirely new spin through our MDK Jane lookbook, where we have knitted up a bunch of very popular patterns and provided Jane skein counts for each one. We’ve done all the work for you—you just have to knit the sweater!

Two More Virtual Classes Before Year End

December 5:  Math for Knitters with Kate Atherley. Kate’s just published an excellent book on the subject, and she’s here to show us how to become a more confident interpreter—and modifier—of knitting patterns. No math talent required—that’s why we’re doing the class!

December 12: Journaling for the New Year with Felix Ford. In this brand-new edition of her popular journaling course, Felix will lead us through uplifting and non-perfectionist ways to create a soulful visual touchstone for the turning of the year. Included: a download of Felix’s printable sticker-stamps, to help make your journal truly your own.

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.

In Franklin Habit’s twice-a-year Big Clean, unmaking is part of making. 

Ann Hood on her personal detangler and force of nature, her mom Gogo.

Go with Jeni Hankins to dip your toes into the sea of stylish workwear worn by 19th-century fishermen and herring lassies, particularly the gansey.

What is designer Jen Geigley’s forever stitch? Plus: bonus pattern scout!

Are you in the kitchen this weekend getting ready for Thanksgiving? We’ve got you: solid-gold holiday recipes, including Dilly Bread.

Six blokes in a van. Three tons of gold bullion. Now what?

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
