amish country beanie pattern

Our popular amish country beanie is now for sale as a .pdf on Ravelry.  The amish country beanie is  a simple striped beanie with a scalloped edge that is reminiscent of 19th century Pennsylvania Dutch wedding socks.  Designed in iconic PA Dutch colors, this hat can be made in a beanie style or with some slouch.  The hat pattern is also available in a kit at the shop.  Check it out!





moebius cowl curl pattern

We have patterns on Ravelry!  Our most recent addition is the moebius curl cowl pattern, available for sale as a .pdf--we taught this class on Tuesday & it was fun. Several of the knitters have moved on to their second cowl, it is a quick project & an intriguing knit.  Check it out at the link below.  You do not need to be a member of Ravelry to make a purchase.

Magazines & Patterns & Books--OH MY!



Several new & notable books on the shelves at Lancaster Yarn Shop this week.  Get 'em while it's hot! These knitting books make good beach reading, and are perfect for those afternoons and evenings when you just might start to think it is too hot to knit.  (PERISH THE THOUGHT!)

Also in the shop this week:  Interweave Knits Weekend!  A terrific collection of knits that are a little more casual for weekend wear.  Piecework, & Interweave Crochet are in stock, too.

LYS Fall Knitting Retreat


We had such a good time at our first Knitting Retreat, we're doing it all over again! 

Join us for either a three day retreat including a Knitting Workshop on Saturday, or for a one day get away including Saturday lunch & the Workshop!  The Saturday Knitting Workshop will be jointly led by Wendy Ellis & Barbara Grubbs. Details about the knitting project will be revealed soon! We're test knitting!
 White Oak Bed & Breakfast proved to be a friendly, comfortable setting for our first Retreat in March.  We are looking forward to getting back for another weekend of Knitting R & R!  Join us for a wine & cheese reception on Friday, followed by a country style dinner and a relaxed evening of knitting & visiting. Saturday morning we'll enjoy a hearty breakfast & plenty of delicious coffee before being joined by our Daylong Get Away Knitters for lunch & our Knitting Workshop.  Saturday dinner is 'on your own,' so you can take a little jaunt out into Amish Country!  We'll enjoy a light breakfast followed by a fancy Sunday Brunch to wind up our time together.

Registration is now open!  Click here for details & to reserve your spot!
