A network of blogs about sisters and sisterhoods of all kinds.

SISTER DIANE GILLELAND of The Church of Craft and the CraftyPod blog preaches joy in the making, and the power of the handmade article. Amen, we said, when we profiled her not long ago. Now, Diane’s new e-book, Weaving Un-Loomed (which includes the tote pattern above) is bringing her message to more believers. This week, TSP is giving away a free copy…to celebrate that it’s finally fall and back-to-crafts time in our own homes. Details, details: [click to continue…]

ARE WE THERE YET? asks Sister Paige, who seems to have more unfinished projects on needles around the house than completed ones, and just cannot seem to break the non-finishing habit. Do any among the knitting sisterhood have the secret to her endlessness? Please go tell Paige.
NOW MARION WANTS A DIFFERENT OLDER SISTER, apparently. If she had one, that sister would know how Marion should fix this sweater (above), she says. I do not. And I don’t even like the sweater, so we’re done, says Marion. Uh-oh. Read on.
WHAT GOT YOU STARTED KNITTING (or haven’t you joined that sisterhood yet)? For TSP sister Paige it was some long-ago girlfriends at the local yarn shop. For Anastasia, it was one very special aunt.
THREE OF TSP’S FOUNDING SISTERS KNIT, 1 DOESN’T. Even the outlier among us (me) is thinking of casting on after reading the story of Mason-Dixon Knitting, their sibling stories, and their “crazy kind of friend thing.” Meet them now.

First time here? Here's the idea: TSP is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in-friendship or in-feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: Learn more about TSP, and how to find your way around. And oh—a giant, sisterly welcome.
As the suffix of its name suggests, TSP's Sisterpedia
is the reference section, one we’re hoping you’ll help us grow to maturity by adding your knowledge in the comments. Turn us on to new facts and figures, whether for the branch of our ‘library’ called Sistory (history from a sister point of view, from the Muses of ancient Greece to 60s Girl Groups and beyond) or the one called Sibling Science (what makes sisters tick, genetically and behaviorally). Or just click around and have a good read. See you there. 
No surprise, really, that sisterhood, often life’s longest relationship and always one of its most important, has been the Muse for so much creative self-expression by women, and also by men.
TSP’s Galleries were created to show off that outpouring of art and craft, poetry and prose. Come see a show or two—no ticket required, no lines to get in—and suggest others whose work we ought to showcase.
