The Erlbacher Knitting Machine

Thanks to all of the attendees of the 2026 Homecoming Crank-In who participated in this years donation for Catholic Charities of Southern Missouri (and special thanks to Carol Mancuso for coordinating it all!)

A huge thank you to The Erlbacher Knitting Machine and the attendees of the Annual Homecoming Crank-In for choosing Catholic Charities of Southern Missouri as their charity of choice! 💙

Over just a few days, attendees created handmade hats, scarves, blankets, and other items with their knitting machines, along with a generous cash donation for those we serve.

We are so grateful for your creativity, generosity, and support of our mission. 🧶💙

Kim is taking a well-deserved week of rest and vacation, which means you’re stuck with me! 😄

My plan was to share some beautiful knitting machine photos today… but in true Friday fashion, I completely forgot to take any. 🤦‍♀️

So instead, enjoy a few random scenes from around the shop on this Friday! Sometimes it’s not just the machines that make Erlbacher special—it’s the people, projects, tools, and everyday moments that keep everything running.

Tell us: What are YOU working on this weekend? A sweater? Socks? A blanket?

Happy Friday from all of us at Erlbacher!

POV: You’re surrounded by the best fiber community on the planet. 🌀✨

A little BTS from the Erlbacher Homecoming two weeks ago! There is nothing quite like being in a room full of people who just get it. Grateful for the laughs, the shared tips, and this incredible community.

The machines brought us together, but the people are why we keep coming back.
