My Sister Knits is so excited to offer our first brand-new, revamped, in-depth Learn to Knit class in June! We put much thought into this class and are certain it will turn anyone into a confident knitter!

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.

Today is all about tutorials for you to have at your fingertips. We have gathered nine that we think are tremendously useful and have intentionally included instructions from several people to show their styles.

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.

Our Thread and Maple shipment has finally arrived and we are thrilled with their products! We have found out first hand that, as we wrote about in February, they are at once darling and useful!

The crocuses are coming up in the garden at My Sister Knits! Spring brings happy colors and visions of evenings on the patio or deck when a light wrap might be needed.

A search of the shop shows an abundance of joyful spring colors in lightweight yarns. We have solids, tonals, variegated, and speckles to suit every taste.

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!

Building on last week’s blog post, we have a second newly arrived trunk show composed of yarn!

Emma’s Yarn has an endearing background story. Emma, a home-schooled student, was studying ratios in her math class. Since she was at home, she took the opportunity to put her knowledge to real-life use and tried dyeing yarn!

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.

The Kentia Cowl, designed by Australian designer Ambah O’Brien, is a soft and fuzzy delight!

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!

The beginning of a new year often brings about contemplation of what the next 12 months will look like. This applies to our knitting also.

At this time of year, at the end of the holidays, we tend to want to complete a project just to feel a sense of accomplishment. We want it to be something quick and not too complicated. Our brains are tired after the hubbub of celebrating and we want something soothing.

My Sister Knits carries beautiful yarn; that goes without saying. However, it’s fun to take a self-guided tour of the shop to see what else we carry!
