Marie Greene’s 4-Day Sweater Knit a Long “Soundtrack” is a wonderful way to knit a sweater in community! Even a first time sweater knitter can accomplish this pattern, and it’s a great opportunity to knit with lots of help and encouragement along the way!
While this is called a "4 Day KAL" and Marie Greene (Olive Knits) will present and promote this as a timed knitting challenge, there is no pressure to finish your sweater in four days. Marie Greene will be hosting the timed KAL, and you can submit your photos at the end of the 4 Days for prizes!
LYS is excited to announce that we will be hosting a live Q&A with Marie Greene for knitters who purchase or order their yarn from us before June 12! To join, the only requirement is that you purchase yarn from Lancaster Yarn Shop.

June 12th: 7:00 PM EST—live Q & A with LYS & Marie Greene via Zoom

RECOMMENDED YARNS:
Kenzie: we highly recommend this yarn, and it is what our shop sample is knit with. It is soft, has a great palette, and is always a pleasure to knit with! The KAL pattern is a two-color, unisex pullover sweater. It is striped and features slipped stitches, short rows and working in the round. Adventurous beginner knitters can definitely knit this sweater! We used color 1029 Hebes as MC and 1010 Glacier as CC.
