Colorado Indie Dyers
My Sister Knits' passion is to find yarn that has something special about it, something that appealed to us in one way or another. It could come from as far away as Denmark or as near as Loveland, CO!
Teeny Weeny Beanie
If you haven’t seen the Teenie Weenie Beanie video, watch this before you read on! It will have you laughing and dancing in your seat! Fortunately, the knitting world takes note of such things and Jean-Philippe Cliche was inspired to design a Teenie Weenie Beanie based on this video!
Overwhelmed By Ravelry?
Is Ravelry overwhelming to you? Is there so much information in this amazing database that it makes your brain cringe at the thought of delving into it? Today we hope to make some of it easier to navigate.
Captivating Coast to Coast Restocked!
My Sister Knits’ supply of Coast to Coast yarn has been restocked! We are one of only four shops in the United States that carry this captivating yarn! Julie continues to amaze us with her skill of discovering rare yarn!
Do This First
Have you ever wanted to make a particular project but felt it was beyond your ability so you gave up on it? However, you kept thinking about it and couldn’t get it out of your mind? That type of project falls into the category of ‘one day’ projects; projects that you want to make one day but not right now.
Bits and Bobs
My Sister Knits constantly has yarn, books, and samples added or restocked. If you’ve ever witnessed a UPS shipment arriving at the shop, you’ve seen first-hand the excitement that comes with it. It’s always fun to open those boxes!
No More Sloppy SSKs!
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.
Knitting for Olive
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!
A Little Bit of KAOS is a Good Thing!
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!
Two New Books!
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!
Diana's Cowl
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!
Italian and German Yarns!
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
One Shawl and Three Publications!
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.
Celebrating The Fibre Co. Amble
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!
Thanksgiving Hygge
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!
Not Just Yarn!
This week, My Sister Knits would like to bring your attention to knitting accouterments, aka the things that make knitting easier or more fun!
Jolly Holiday Classes!
My Sister Knits has some more holiday fun for you! We have a few classes that might tempt you in November and December.
