A hand holding a knitting project in the foreground with a distant triangle shaped pavilion on the horizon and a crowd of chairs and people arriving to an afternoon outdoor concert in between.

Four smiling people holding knitting projects (obscured) and smiling while at an outdoor concert—seated in camp chairs on a green lawn and with dozens of people in the background.

Places you can knit—first free concert of the summer at Long’s Park in Lancaster! The band was ‘In the Pocket,’ and it was chilly but just right for knitting! #LancasterYarnShop #PlacesYouCanKnit #LiveMusic

A close up of several fingers of my left hand holding a knitting needle and with orange yarn wrapped around my index finger. I’m making a striped hat that is comprised of dark gray, light gray, mustard yellow and orange wool. The knitting needles are wooden and there is a yellow bulb stitch marker between two stitches on the previous row. You can see the inside and the outside of the hat because the pattern is clever.

This week’s prompt is WIPs: my most active current project: another ‘Musselburgh Hat’ designed by Ysolda Teague. This one is stripy and made with Lanas Light-it’s a good one! This is my ‘interstitial project;’ I’m fatigued, so I need easy knitting. #ShowUsYourKnits #Knitting #LancasterYarnShop

A group of smiling people pose for the camera in our knitting shop—some people are knitting, some are standing to be included in the picture. We took the picture because we had an out of town visitor (Hi, Diana!) and she wanted to show it to her knitting group in upstate New York.

Make new friends, find a knitting/crafting group in your area- or when you’re traveling, and join it! Ours meets in Intercourse, PA at Lancaster Yarn Shop every Thursday between 4-7 AND our virtual group is on Zoom every Thursday between 6-8pm.

A work-in-progress photo showing a handknit cowl still on the needles in colorful wool with a beautiful stranded knitting motif. Shown in a square basket next to a skein of Woolstok Worsted yarn that is bright green and on a wooden table.

We had knit night at the shop this evening—& I must say, as a rule I find people who like to make stuff to be some of the finest people in the world. #knitters #crocheters #KnitNight #LancasterYarnShop

I’ve just finished a Latvian mitt with lace, braids, colorwork, a picot bind off & an afterthought thumb! Time for blocking and weaving in lots of ends. Pattern by Beth Brown-Reinsel.

A nearly finished knitting project—just a few stitches still on the needles. The picture shows a garter stitch triangle folded on itself with two gorgeous balls of fluffy, fingering weight yarn in brick red and mushroom colors. They are arranged on a wooden background. Photo by ericacea 🫐

Pattern coming very soon—this version of a simple garter stitch scarf has been a shop/knitter’s favorite for years. It’s time to write it up so we don’t have to explain how to knit it over and over. Yarn shown is Madrona from Hikoo. #WIP #GarterStitch #LancasterYarnShop @ericadirks.bsky.social

Photo shows two small garter stitch triangles being knit as test swatches. The yarn is brick orange striped with a mushroom brown. One knitting needle is visible in the work. The samples are sitting on a computer keyboard.

Sometimes research looks like this. #knitting #GarterStitch #LancasterYarnShop

A close up of a knitting project on the needles in five colors and with complex patterning. It includes traditional Latvian motifs that suggest flowers and textured herringbone braids.
