What is Sisters Not Twins?

The Sisters Not Twins Project is a collaboration between knit designer, Sonna of Sundaughterknits and myself a crochet designer. We design in tandem with the goal of creating similar projects in our respective mediums. Our first project involved the Freia and Fenna Shawls was a shawl designed in collaboration with Sprigs and Stone last fall and was a great success. So let’s do it again! This time around we are partnering with Lion Brand and running a free Make A Long on Instagram!

Our next project is a half circle pi shawl and we are doing a Make A Long chock full of giveaways for each week! Here’s the schedule:

WEEK 1 - 3/14-3/20

WEEK 2 - 3/21 - 3/27

WEEK 3 - 3/8 - 4/3

WEEK 4 - 4/4 - 4/10

The MAL will run from March 14 through April 4 with manageable stitch goals and prizes each week. And whats a MAL without prizes? We have teamed up with some great makers: @word.picture.inc.design, @oddknotsandthreads, @radiclethreads, @gavriellamakes and more. You will be able to win by posting with the hashtags #sisnottwins #pisquaredshawl along with each weeks specific hashtag (#pidaymalweek1 #pidaymalweek2, #pidaymalweek3, and #pidaymalweek4) on Instagram.
