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 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.

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 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.

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.

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

What’s on my needles? Which pair?! Tonight it’s Latvian Mitts by Beth Brown-Reinsel in Lanas Light, a sport weight Peruvian highland wool. It’s a lovely, complicated pattern and I can’t get enough if it! #ShowUsYourKnits #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.
