The Winter 2022 edition of Laine magazine has arrived at My Sister Knits! This eagerly awaited international knitting magazine encourages you to sit down with a hot beverage while you spend some time delving into it.

Pacific Crest is Elizabeth Doherty’s latest pattern, published just this week! Elizabeth is a genius at math and figuring out how to design a top-down sweater that is interesting to knit but not difficult. My Sister Knits is one of the first local yarn shops in the United States to have a sample on display!

Just in! Dreamy Tibetan Cloud from mYak! We love yarns with a good story and this one doesn’t disappoint.

We love COCOKNITS accessories! “Why?” you might ask yourself. Here’s the answer in a nutshell: they are terrific! We love the quality, the array of colors, the cleverness of the designs, and the fact that they’re made as sustainably as possible.

Peace Fleece yarn is a story of how two people sought to promote peace and understanding between historic enemies.

My Sister Knits has a new addition to our thoughtfully selected yarns! This yarn has all of us oohing and aahing over it. We often stop when we’re passing it and let our eyes skim the remarkable colorways, trying to decide our favorite.

A grand discovery was made one night around the table at Knit Night! Knitters were searching on Ravelry and found Jessie Mae Martinson’s Sheer V Sweater design. One thing led to another and now we have a sample in the shop!

Each week I have an idea of the subject of the blog post. Sometimes I tweak it when I walk into the shop to take photos. This week, as soon as I walked into My Sister Knits, I was totally smitten with a pillow that I saw on the table and knew I had to write about it.

A [Happy] Hat is just the thing to use up some of your leftover fingering weight yarn! Melissa Schoenwether designed it and used bulky weight yarn the first time she knit it.

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.

Kelsey Stephens, owner of Primrose Yarn Company, has come up with a brilliant idea! Her new yarn, Roan, is a combination of 60% superwash yarn and 40% non-superwash wool.

Volcano Trail, designed by Maxim Cyr, is our latest craze at My Sister Knits! Some of you may have seen the Mini-Unbearable Hoodie on display at the shop. Max designed that as well.

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!

My Sister Knits has a magical product from Cestari Sheep and Wool Company! We have jars of Natural 100% lanolin, straight off the sheep.

Julie has discovered a special small company called Thread and Maple! T & M is owned by two women, Samantha Perrault and Olga Paskalenko. Samantha lives in Montreal and Olga lives in Toronto.

Wild Mountain Thyme is Thea Colman’s (aka Baby Cocktails) latest design, released this week! It just so happens that we have a sample that’s been waiting in the wings until the pattern was published. It’s now on display!

Normally, our trunk shows at My Sister Knits are composed of garments. This allows us to see how certain yarns look and feel when knit. None of the sample items are for sale but we always carry the yarn showcased in the trunk show.

My Sister Knits has a stunning sweater sample on display that we’d like to bring to your attention. Valemount, designed by Ann-Marie Jackson for Brooklyn Tweed, is a knit that will take your mind off of everything else going on in your world!

Since Thanksgiving will be different this year for most of us, we’d like to introduce the Danish concept of Hygge. Hygge (pronounced hue-guh or hoo-gah according to various sources) embodies coziness. It’s an atmosphere that makes a person feel content and comfortable by surrounding themselves with the things that make life good.

We love it when our customers tell us about something fiber-related that they love! Especially when it comes to discovering new independent dyers! Indie dyers somehow manage to give their yarns a different look than all other hand-dyed yarn and it’s fascinating.
