My Sister Knits is one of the multitudes of yarn shops celebrating Local Yarn Store Day on Saturday, April 30th!

Are you a stranded colorwork enthusiast? If so, you’re going to be excited about a bi-weekly gathering at My Sister Knits!

There’s something about a new book or magazine that makes it enticing. Sometimes it’s the smell of the pages that draws us in. Other times it’s the allure of the information inside. It could also be the anticipation of delightful time spent perusing the articles and photographs.

What would you like to learn to enhance your knitting skills? My Sister Knits has a variety of classes available! These are fun because you meet like-minded people who want to learn along with you!

For today’s knitting pleasure, My Sister Knits brings you Laura Debratz’s Lazy Hiker Shawl. A few people from our Get Back to Knitting class were oohing and aahing over this shawl the other day.

Boy, do we have some fun in store for the My Sister Knits community! Over the next several months, watch out for delightful trunk shows showcasing yarns that we don’t carry. We might though, depending on how much you guys like each specific yarn!

Are you in a rut with your yarn choices? Do you often, if not always, choose a certain type and certain colors?

Are you someone who adores knitting with fingering weight speckled yarns? Or are more rustic yarns the ones you reach for? How about preferring only the softest of the soft?

“What is an MKAL?” you may be asking yourself! Why, it’s a Mystery Knit A Long! The mystery is that you have no idea what you’re making other than a category. You’ll know if it’s a cowl or a shawl but not much more than that. You get a clue, usually once a week, with directions for each section of your project which always causes great excitement.

My Sister Knits has just received a shipment from Blue Sky Fibers! If you happened to be in the shop on Tuesday you most likely saw our new yarn spread out everywhere! All of the gorgeous colors were on display!

We have three new yarns for your knitting pleasure! Emma’s Yarn, and two bulky yarns from Woolfolk, Flette and Luft.

Oh my goodness, does My Sister Knits have a shawl for you! I saw this when I walked into the shop on Tuesday and immediately knew I had to write about it! I now want to drop the sweater I’m working on and cast on for this delectable beauty!

It’s January and cold and My Sister Knits has an abundance of hat samples! This is the ideal time to make a new hat! While you’re at it, make one with cables! Hats are a great way to try out new techniques as they work up quickly and let you try your new skill on something small.

Picture this: it’s 5:30 on a Saturday evening. You have a knitting question that must be answered before you can go any further. My Sister Knits won’t be open again until Tuesday at 10:00. What to do?

My Sister Knits has a trunk show with five never-before-seen designs and three brand new colors! We are the first yarn shop to display these items; the patterns were published Thursday, January 13th.

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!

January is full of promise and enthusiasm! We get to look at what we want our next twelve months to bring us and how we want them to unfold. It’s an exciting time of anticipation in regard to our knitting!

You can start 2022 by knitting a Kordy sweater! This sweater is from the Moon and Turtle book that is so popular. ‘Moon and turtle’ is a Japanese saying similar to ‘chalk and cheese’, meaning that even though two things look similar in some way, they are in fact completely different. Each design in this collection offers variations that create a different version of the original pattern!

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.
