My Sister Knits has some tank tops and vests on display that are good choices for summer knitting! They only take up a little room on your lap and they are lightweight. Plus, they can be finished quickly and in the summer I like projects with that quality!

This week we’ve traveled north to Fair Isle in Scotland’s Shetland Islands to learn a bit about Fair Isle knitting. Fair Isle itself is miniscule, three miles long and one and a half miles wide, has about 60 permanent residents, and is one of Britain’s most remote islands. Fun fact, Fair Isle has only had reliable 24/7 electricity since 2018!

Julie has discovered designer Summer Lee’s Colorwork Cuff Club and she’s excited to share it with all sock knitters! 

My Sister Knits has a gorgeous new shawl that we want to share with you, the Quintet Shawlette designed by Ambah O’Brien.

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!

Colorwork! Oh, the fun! There are an array of techniques that use different colors in one project: blocks of color, stripes, mosaic, stranded, intarsia, entrelac. All of these will give your project visual interest and it’s so pleasing to watch the design unfold!

Leftover City cowl, designed by Kacey Herlihy, is so much fun to make! It’s the perfect accessory to keep your neck warm as we transition into spring.

My Sister Knits has some bits and bobs to tell you about! The next time you come into the shop, give yourself a few minutes to discover new items that aren’t yarn. You’ll be goggle-eyed at what you find!

We have several samples of items knit with Green Mountain Spinnery’s Mountain Mohair on display at the shop right now! We encourage you to make a special trip to My Sister Knits to see this yarn knit up before they leave us. It’s always helpful to see, feel, and try on samples!

Come one, come all to the Colorwork Trunk Show presented by Brooklyn Tweed!  We will have this trunk show until the last week of February so put it on your calendar!
