It’s Here!
My Sister Knits’ Mitchell Wool Co. shipment has arrived!! We are so excited to carry this yarn! Our American Fiber yarn from Mitchell Wool Co. is so important because it was basically rescued from a mill that was closing down
Mitchell Wool Co. Launch Party!
My Sister Knits Launch Party for Mitchell Wool Co. American Fiber yarns is Saturday, June 8th! To those of you reading this from your email instead of the website, that means today! We encourage you to finish your Saturday morning coffee or tea and come on over!
So Much Fun to Be Had!
Today I want to tell you about three things that all tie in together: a book, yarn, and a wool festival. As I was reading Clara Parkes’ book Vanishing Fleece last week, I was so absorbed in it that I want to share it with you!
Travel Project Ideas!
Are you traveling this summer? Surely you want to take a knitting project with you to while away those travel hours in a car or on a plane. My Sister Knits has some ideas for you!
Summer Events are Almost Upon Us!
Summer is almost here! Can you believe it? Somehow everything feels a bit more laid back during the summer months. Our schedules might open up a bit, giving us time to do something different. My Sister Knits has several fun special events planned!
A Woolberry Shipment Has Arrived!
Oh my, this My Sister Knits’ blog post/newsletter has led me down a rabbit hole! Let me tell you the story. I wanted to let all of you know about the lovely new Woolberry yarns we have. The colors are just right for spring/summer knitting
An Essential Kate Atherly Sock Book!
My Sister Knits now has copies of Kate Atherly’s book Custom Socks: Knit To Fit Your Feet! Kate Atherly is one of my favorite teachers and even before I took a dive into this book I knew it would be fantastic, thorough, and easy to understand. Kate is a mathematician who brings that knowledge and also her years of tech editing sock patterns to this invaluable book.

Let’s Have Some Colorful Fun!
Let’s have some fun! If you’re anything like me, you often look at our skeins of Spincycle yarn and ooh and aah over the colors but you don’t really know what you’d do with it so you leave it on the shelf.
muud Leather Trunk Show!
My Sister Knits has long been a fan of mudd leather knitting bags. We have a trunk show of these beauties arriving this week! mudd is a Danish company well known for its quality leather goods.
Subtle, Heathery Wooldreamers Saona
Wooldreamers has an intriguing yarn for spring knitting! Saona is a 50/50 wool-cotton blend, all from Spain. The wool is a blend of Merino and Manchega. The fun thing about Manchega is that it comes from Manchega sheep who are also the source of Manchego cheese!
Sophie Revisited
The Sophie Scarf, designed by PetiteKnit, took the knitting world by storm. They are all over the place! There are over 16,700 projects posted on Ravelry!
Just when we thought we had enough Sophies at My Sister Knits, we have one more that is almost a requirement for springtime or summer evenings!

Give Your Brain a Break with a Kit!
Have you ever known you wanted to knit…something…but you didn’t want to go through the process of finding a pattern and then the yarn to go with it? You wanted someone to present you with a project ready to start, perhaps even handed to you on a silver tray, just to complete our picture here!
A Collection of Goodies!
Most of you know that My Sister Knits has goodies in the shop that are not yarn! Most, if not all, of them make creating our projects easier or more fun. Let’s take a look at a few of these ways to improve your knitting/crocheting experiences.
