My Sister Knits is hosting a trunk show of Trilogy Yarns! Some trunk shows are samples of items knit with a certain yarn. Others have unique yarn that can be purchased. This is the latter kind! The yarn we have will be available to snap up for your own until it’s time to send it all back.

Polka Dot Sheep yarn is now displayed on the My Sister Knits ‘New Wall’! Turn to the left as soon as you enter the shop and you can’t miss it!

We have two yarn bases, Super G and Rime. A yarn base consists of two parts: the weight of the yarn and the fiber/s that the yarn is made of. Independent dyers choose the base fiber they like and then work their color magic with their dyes.

Schnee, a bewitching rectangular wrap designed by Melanie Berg, is an ethereal, light-as-a-feather accessory! Schnee (‘snow’ in German) has been on display at My Sister Knits for a few months and is like a beacon for me.

Love It bags have arrived at My Sister Knits from Amsterdam! We are one of only four shops in the world to carry them. The others are Stephen and Penelope in Amsterdam, Zauberwiese in Denmark, and Do Ewe Knit in New Jersey. You know you’re getting something out of the ordinary when you purchase one of these!

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!

Bags! As we gather our belongings to venture out into the world more, we might notice that we’d like to update a few items. My Sister Knits has a unique selection of bags of many sizes to brighten things up and fill various needs.

Moonstruck Wrap is Julie’s latest find and the shop’s latest passion! Designed by Heidi May of The Velvet Acorn, this shawl is My Sister Knits’ newest must-knit project.

The second Saturday of June has been Worldwide Knit in Public Day since 2005. This is the largest annual knitting event whose purpose is to share in the joy of knitting and other fiber arts.

When starting a new project, how much do you consider your needles? Our needles are important tools that deserve some thought.

Our goal is to knit as comfortably as possible for as many years as possible. Toward that end, we should intentionally choose our needles with our project in mind.

Shibui Knits introduced their brand new sister company Camp Color this week! My Sister Knits has a trunk show with many samples so you can see for yourself the fun, lively, and impertinent interpretations of the term ‘camp’.

At My Sister Knits we are still wanting projects that require little concentration. We are excited that things are opening up and the Covid restrictions are easing but our minds need time to recover from the stressors of the last many months.

Fortunately, Jess Guy has designed a lovely, easily wearable scarf that fits the bill! This scarf uses two colors and is a squishy garter stitch. It starts with a cast on of three stitches. The only techniques required are knowing how to increase and decrease!

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.
