My Sister Knits has a new sweater on display for you! This one is Joji Locatelli’s Super Simple Summer Sweater. This pattern is aptly named! You don’t even need to pick up stitches for the sleeves which can be daunting. You just put stitches that are held on Barber cords or waste yarn back onto the needle and you’re on your way! Easy peasy!

Before we know it, warmer days will be here and we’ll be wanting to wear fabrics that will help us stay cool. Enter cotton! My Sister Knits just received a stunning variety of colors in DK weight Cascade Ultra Pima. Our shipment of worsted weight Blue Sky Fibers Organic Cotton is on the way! Now is the time to start thinking about what to make!

When I write each blog post/newsletter for My Sister Knits, I imagine that I’m having a conversation with all of you. Today that conversation covers two topics that are completely unrelated!

With the warmer sunny days this week, those of us at My Sister Knits are turning our thoughts toward spring and the colors that spring brings!

My Sister Knits now has ……. wait for it …… a new shipment of Spincycle! And more on the way!  We ordered every colorway of sport weight Dyed in the Wool and as many as we could of worsted weight Dream State.

As I was walking into My Sister Knits on Tuesday, it was sunny and cold. Since it’s the middle of February, I thought that a brand new brightly colored hat would be a fun thing to have! I love the hat I wear the most but it isn’t colorful.

Can My Sister Knits tempt you with some classes? We have something for all experience levels!

There is still time to sign up for some of our February classes:

We have a peek at a selection of some of our pink or pinkish yarns for you today! We see two reasons to knit with pink right now. Valentine’s Day is almost upon us and it makes us happy to knit with this color that has been described as evoking joy and happiness.

My Sister Knits has a new sample on display knit with an often overlooked yarn for you! Decisions, decisions, do I tell you about the yarn first or the sample? I’ll go with the yarn which is from Wooldreamers. 

My Sister Knits has a new project for you! We are offering free yarn and a free pattern for you to make something to help another person keep warm. We can make a tangible difference to unhoused people in Fort Collins.

My Sister Knits just received a shipment of CaMaRose yarn from Denmark! We can’t wait for you to come in and squish it to find out how luscious it is for yourself!

Happy New Year everyone! Instead of waxing poetic about our knitting at the end of one year and the beginning of the next, we’re going to dig right into some pertinent information!

At My Sister Knits, we love good YouTube video tutorials!  Our memories need to be refreshed about certain techniques that aren’t used often.

We thought it would be handy to have some of them in one spot and that’s what this post is all about! So, in no certain order, here they are:

My Sister Knits wishes everyone a happy season, whatever holiday you celebrate!

In our article, Know Your Yarn, Part 1, we talked about the different weights of yarn. Today, in Part 2 of this series, we’re going to discuss Superwash and Non-Superwash yarn. 

First there was Patty Lyons’ book Knitting Bag of Tricks, a treasure in and of itself. Then came along The Official Workbook to accompany it! In it are seven lessons that include multiple exercises and thought-provoking questions to give us a better understanding of our own knitting.

As Thanksgiving rolls around and we spend more time than usual thinking about what we’re thankful for, knitting and crocheting come to mind. These fiber arts enrich our lives in so many ways.

Holiday gift giving season is almost upon us and My Sister Knits is here to help you with gift decisions! We have options galore to share with you!

It’s that time of year again! At My Sister Knits we are realizing that there are only a few short weeks to get our gift knitting done so we’re carefully considering different projects. We need ones that will fly off our needles! We’re thinking that we aren’t the only ones in this predicament.

If you are wondering about different weights of yarn, what they are, what types of projects they are good for, how they differ, and which you should use for your next knitting experience, My Sister Knits is here for you!
