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

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

This reminds me of my favourite ever Irish insult (normally directed at humans but definitely applies here too) that goes "he looks like his mammy knitted him"
I absolutely refuse to believe that the pheasant who regularly visits my mum and dad’s garden is real and has not in fact been crocheted.

#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

Yes. We are.

The fibercrafts (knitting, crochet, spinning, weaving, etc) welcome our outraged compatriots to our coping method(s) of choice. It does help.

#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.
