Today I’m going to tell you the story of a hat I just finished for my son. When I reached the decreases for the crown I was not at all happy with how they looked. 

Pernille Larsen was a first-time grandma who lived in Copenhagen and was, of course, a knitter. She wasn’t content just knitting for that dear little babe, oh no! She started designing for her!

Julie has found us another intriguing yarn! KAOS from Denmark is our newest addition.  And, yes, it’s pronounced just like its English counterpart, chaos, and has the same meaning.

KAOS is quite popular in European countries, especially Germany and Denmark. We are the only local yarn shop that carries it in the entire middle of the US!

Classes! We have classes for you! 

My Sister Knits has not one but two books we want you to know about! 

The first one is Patty Lyons’ Knitting Bag of Tricks.  It is as useful for experienced knitters as it is for beginners! This book is actually mind-blowing! 

My Sister Knits has our very own fingering weight cowl pattern for your knitting pleasure!  Actually, it’s Diana’s brainchild so we have named it Diana’s Cowl!

My Sister Knits has an absolutely stunning new yarn! 

It’s from the Italian region of Biella, 50 miles from Milan. Among world-renowned fashion houses, Biella is known for world-class wool. T

My Sister Knits has a sample of an impressive colorwork shawl in the shop! This shawl looks quite complicated due to the colorwork patterns used.

Any yarn from The Fibre Co. is amazing to knit with. When you pick up a skein and squish it, you immediately want some for yourself!

Dear lovely readers,

This week I have been dealing with a broken thumb and two pins that were inserted to ensure proper healing. I had no idea that my ability to type would be severely impacted! I found one from Thanksgiving 2020 that is still relevant today and have posted it below. The only difference is that we now have a greater variety of candles in the shop!

This week, My Sister Knits would like to bring your attention to knitting accouterments, aka the things that make knitting easier or more fun!

My Sister Knits has some more holiday fun for you! We have a few classes that might tempt you in November and December.

Consider this a Public Service Announcement from My Sister Knits! The holidays are upon us and it’s time to start the gift projects you’ve been considering. Let’s make some decisions and get our needles out!

What is so great about Sophie? I’m not quite sure where to start! In no particular order, here’s why we like it so, so much!

Let’s have some fun! I’ve been around My Sister Knits in the fall for years and have seen the Christmas stockings that people knit. I’ve admired them but have never wanted to knit one myself. I’ve had several hesitations about making them: I don’t knit socks, they’d take too much time while I was finishing other gifts, I was too busy otherwise, you get the picture!

My Sister Knits is full of treasures! Often we stick to what we know and love which can become monotonous. To avoid monotony, there are lovely, noteworthy delights that await our discovery!

My Sister Knits is super lucky to have a sample of Caitlin Hunter’s latest pattern in the shop! As of this writing, the pattern is due to be published this week and you can see this stunning sweater on display now!

My Sister Knits is participating in the international month-long sock drive effort that is Socktober. Last year we collected 300 pairs of new, store-bought socks; we want to exceed that amount this year!

Join us for a presentation and book signing with Salt & Timber author and designer Lindsey Fowler @larkspurknits and Rachel Lundstrom of Six and Seven Fiber @sixandsevenfiber.
