Subtle, Heathery Wooldreamers Saona
Wooldreamers has an intriguing yarn for spring knitting! Saona is a 50/50 wool-cotton blend, all from Spain. The wool is a blend of Merino and Manchega. The fun thing about Manchega is that it comes from Manchega sheep who are also the source of Manchego cheese!
Scrappy Garter Stitch Hats
Today, My Sister Knits is giving you a feast for your eyes! Two fun hats have come to our attention!
Both of them use garter stitch; one uses one strand of fingering weight yarn, the other uses two strands of fingering weight yarn held together.
A Cozy Classic Cardi
As I’m sitting here writing this, a cold wind is blowing and the idea of making (and wearing) a straightforward, cozy sweater is most appealing! Isabell Kraemer’s Kallias, published in September, is exactly what’s called for!
This and That
My Sister Knits has a new hat that we’ve fallen in love with! It’s a good job that we have an infinite number of hats that we are allowed to love! Each new sample that comes in seems to fit in that category!
Our new favorite is the Cozy Bliss Hat designed by Pam Sapienza. Published only a few weeks ago in December, this unique hat is destined to become a fun, popular knit!
Joji Locatelli’s Stripy Unicorn
We’ve had a sample at My Sister Knits for a couple of weeks that’s captivated me. It caught my eye when I was in the shop and I finally took it down to look at it closer. The first thing that I noticed was how it felt; it was so lightweight for a sweater! I looked at the tag and it’s Joji Locatelli’s new pattern Stripy Unicorn.
Countdown to Circus Tonic Visit!
Do you have your calendars marked? In just under two weeks My Sister Knits hosts Hannah Ginn of Circus Tonic Handmade! I’d like to remind everyone that this is such a special event because Hannah lives in Adelaide, South Australia! She will be in the US for a visit that just happens to be close enough to visit us!
Different Projects, Different Weights
There’s always something new happening at My Sister Knits! Julie and Diana discovered the Durand Cowl, designed by Tara-Lynn Morrison, and it’s our current obsession.
Captivating Churchmouse Classics Cowl
The Two-Point Cowl that is on display at My Sister Knits is a Churchmouse Classics pattern. It’s modeled after their Easy Folded Poncho that over 4,500 people have made.
Chic Cascade Jacket
My Sister Knits has a stunning cardigan on display, the Cascade Jacket designed by Lene Rix! Our sample is made with Biches and Buches Le Lambswool combined with Woolberry Berry Mohair, one strand of each held together throughout. Size 10 needles allow you to see progress quickly!
Make a Zap Cap!
We’ve discovered a hat pattern that is perfect for your school colors! Of course, it will be good for any color combination but we especially love it to show your school spirit!
