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

Close up of my left hand holding a knitting project on a pointy metal needle. The fabric is alternating stripes of grey and red with a geometric mosaic motif along one edge. It is vastly satisfying and simple to knit. There is a brick fireplace in the background with colorful twinkly lights on it and a shelf with pictures and a plant on it, too.

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

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.

#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

A left hand holding up a knitting project outside.(the Campside Classic Cardi by Alicia Plummer made in Tillie, a hand dyed cotton yarn from Berroco). The fabric is a greenish tonal color and is held up against an out of focus landscape including a harbor with sailboats and a distant island covered in evergreen trees. There is a bald eagle in the frame but it is really registering just as an indistinct impression of an eagle.
Nice place to knit.

Here’s a swell baby hat i made a few years ago—the Garter Baby Flap Hat—it’s adorable. #showmeyourknits

A hand knit, striped baby hat with little ear covers and an absurd tassel. The yarn is red orange and dark purple. The hat is being held by a disembodied hand and rests on a white, handknit baby blanket.

I’m recovering from chemo now. I was given a very soft Rowan Cotton hat that fit perfectly—without hair I needed much smaller hats. I also wore a fingering weight cotton cap UNDER my wool hats this winter. My head was cold ALL THE TIME. re. yarn: Scheepjes Skies Light was perfect.

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.

#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
