We’re so excited! LYS welcomes Xandy Peters to the Lancaster Winter Knitter’s Retreat January 9 - 11, 2026! Local fiber artist Sarah Ulrich *and others* round out a cozy weekend of knitting and community. Join us at the William H Montgomery mansion in Lancaster, PA. Details on our website!

Happy Anniversary, #showusyourknits! Knitter’s choice -I want to show some knitter’s hands! These are four of my current class of Sock Knitting 101 students!

So much garter stitch this year! Here’s a WIP I just picked up after a long break. This is Melissa Leapman’s ‘Honky Tonk’ shawl- featuring garter stripes and garter mosaic stitch borders. Nearly finished Chart B! #ShowUsYourKnits #GarterStitch

Today it’s all crocheting, all day long! MOOGLY is visiting our shop for a One-Day Crochet Retreat! @mooglyblog.com #crochet

I learned this *essential* knitting trick from @xandypeters.bsky.social

Our yarn shop is knitting along with Marie Greene for the eighth time! The 4 Day KAL starts July 4, so we’ve got prep to do! Join is for a Zoom call with Marie on June 5 at 7:00 PM. Details: lancasteryarnshop.com/shop/4-day-k... #AstroPop #4DayKAL 🚀 @oliveknits.bsky.social

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

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

#showmeyourknits is what’s your WIP this week? Luckily I’m traveling and I’m working on one project: the Campside Classic Cardi by Alicia Plummer made in Tillie, a hand dyed cotton yarn from Berroco. #handknitting #sweaterknitters

THIS WEEKEND in Intercourse, PA! Welcome, Beth Brown-Reinsel, Kate Atherley and Carson Demers! @kateatherley.bsky.social and @carsondemers.bsky.social #WeAreSoExcited #LKR2025

look at this absolute unit

Yes. We are. The fibercrafts (knitting, crochet, spinning, weaving, etc) welcome our outraged compatriots to our coping method(s) of choice. It does help. Free patterns at knitty.com - 22 years worth. 🧶

#showmeyourknits GREEN is the theme—here’s the first green knitting in my photos, and it’s from the Berroco Yarn Tasting we had at the shop last week. The yarn is Tillie—& it’s very nice!

We’re coming right up against the last days when we can wear chunky handknits—so I’m doing it! Pattern is Plowfield by Owen Ellis on Ravelry and the yarn is Ultra Alpaca Chunky—easy peasy and soft and warm! #knitting #ChonkyKnits #LancasterYarnShop

@lancasteryarnshop.bsky.social TFW you are almost finished but you realize you knit the entire middle section with the wrong size circular. I’m glad I enjoy watching the stripes pile up. #musselburghhat #frogging #dpnlifeline

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

On my needles—Tillie! Cotton and Cupro in a DK weight chainette spun yarn.

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. #ShowMeYoutKnits #knitters #LancasterYarnShop #LancasterKnittersRetreat #LKR2025 #LancasterPA

#Knitsky, got a ball of scrap yarn and wondering if it’s enough for your next project? Here’s my go-to method for calculating how many metres/yards you have left!

#ShowMeYourKnits #Lace Current mostly mindless knit with lace weight yarn.

Friday on my mind! #WPIMYS #lyso

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

Complicated knitting liberates the mind. #knit #knitters #LatvianMitts #SelfCare

It’s Thursday! We had a minor winter weather event (some ice) but we’re here and knitters and crocheters are invited to join us in the shop for Knit Night this evening! On Zoom, too! #LancasterYarnShop #CraftingWithFriends #KitchenKettleVillage #IntercoursePA #WeShallBeKnitTogether #Yarn

SNOW and ICE in the forecast for central Pennsylvania! You know what that means! 🧶

#showmeyourknits theme is striped knits! This is my Stranger Strings wrap, inspired by popular artwork in the 80’s that incorporated the vanishing point wireframe. 🧶

#ShowMeYourKnits is stripes today! We LOVE stripes! #LancasterYarnShop #knitting #Stripes

Visible mending FTW #LancasterYarnShop #knitting #yarn 🧶

A new sample just about off the needles! Classic Alpaca is 100% Peruvian baby alpaca yarn in a dk weight and this scarf is ‘Lineated,’ a favorite, elegant and simple scarf. #LancasterYarnShop #knitting #🧶

Kettle Dyed Lumen is 50/50 Merino wool and silk in a fingering weight. Soft, shiny, durable AND plays well with others (looking at you Aerial!) #kettledyedyarns #woolandsilk #knit #crochet

Kettle Dyed BFL Sock Yarn is durable and beautiful and comes in an infinite number of colors. It is hand dyed, in a kettle, by a human. One skein makes one pair!

Is it cold where you live? Look at this bright, cheery slip stitch blanket! The pattern is ‘Good Vibrations’ by Triona Murphy & we used Simplicity from Hikoo Yarns for ours. #knitting #LancasterYarnShop #KnittersOfTheWorld
