You’ve Got Snippets: October 25, 2025

Dear Knitter,

Happy Saturday!

We hope you’re enjoying a crisp fall morning—perhaps there’s some apple crisp for breakfast?

If you’ve been thinking of heading to Nashville in April for Nash Yarn Fest, this is your notice that just two spots remain for Patti Odinak’s fabulous NYF Getaway trip. Patti knows how to pamper and delight knitters, so this trip is extra special. Read all about it here.

Last Call for Beaded Knitting

We had a sparkly time yesterday, when we dove into the shiny, happy world of beaded knitting with the amazing Jeanette Sloan.

If you’ve got a yen for beading, it’s not too late to get in on the fun. Sign up here and we’ll send you the link to the recording.

Meanwhile…

We had a big time on MDK this week.

MDK’s man in Paris, Franklin Habit, claims this is his last letter about dolls. Say it ain’t so, Franklin!

Being a Yarn Detective, you’d think Jillian Moreno would go to Scotland Yard, but she didn’t—she went to Scotland the country, with fascinating visits to Shetland and Skye plus Edinburgh.

From Ashleigh-ellan Kavanagh, a fascinating essay on the historical intersections of making and mythology, women’s work and witchcraft.

Sometimes a knitting mistake can be seen from a trotting horse. Adrienne Martini cooked up an inventive fix for a wobble in her Waffle Pullover.

Ann and Kay went to Rhinebeck, and all they got was sweet memories and a totally reasonable amount of yarn.

It was just going to be one party, but Ashe Cain’s accidental knitting circle really took off.

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
