Hi everyone! I just stumbled across this page today and wish I knew earlier!

I hosted for the first time a casual & social craft meet up at a park locally in Coquitlam over the weekend.

Only 4 people showed up as I advertised it on a private group so it makes it difficult to host indoors where you require a specific number.. I made it open for any types of craft as I crochet & knit.

I’m open to hosting again at a different location and at a different park, but with summer ending very soon. I wish there were more options outside of libraries for indoor craft meet ups that are free or open for all.

A lot of the crochet meet up groups only meet on weekdays that I could find, so that was the main reason why I attempted to host an event on a Sunday afternoon.

If anyone knows what better locations would work for the fall/winter season (cafes, libraries/rooms that don’t require a booking)?

Learn to Crochet Level 1 is for the brand new crocheter OR the one returning to it after a long absence. All supplies included, just bring yourself. This and all classes can be found on Knot Just Yarn's website at https://www.knotjustyarn.ca/book-online

Almost all vintage. Mostly 50s and 60s including several issues of a 50s era Crochet magazine. Lots of neat patterns for clothes to crochet, especially pre-hippie era 60s. I made a lot of them when I was younger but they don't suit my style now. I'm in North Vancouver. I don't know if anyone here is interested in vintage patterns but I thought I'd see if someone wanted to take them before I drop off at a thrift store somewhere.

Knot Just Yarn in Ladner is pledging 10% of all yarn sales for the month of August. If the number is big enough funds will be split between the Red Cross and The United Way. Visit www.knotjustyarn.ca for further details.

I currently use Patons Astra for most of my amigurumi projects, but I’ve seen some beautiful projects made with Scheepjes Catona mercerised cotton. It looks like it might produce a smoother, more polished finish, and the price seems comparable to Astra. If you've used Catona, how did you like working with it? Also, wondering what is the best place to order it in BC (or elsewhere in Canada).

Had a lovely evening out with my hubby tonight to celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary. After trying hot pot for the first time (it was GREAT btw!), we went for a stroll at Iona Beach Regional Park with some of my crocheted friends for a fun photo shoot. Here's one of my recent FO's. Also, just a friendly reminder that the Crochet in the Wild photo contest is still on until midnight, August 31, 2025! That means that you still have 22 days, 3 hours, 11 minutes to take any/all of your FO's outside and take a picture (or two, or three...) and post them here with the proper flair. BTW, it doesn't have to be something you made recently. Have a favourite summer crocheted outfit/top/cover-up that you made? We'd love to see it! Contest details can be found HERE.

Victoria, I'm sooooooooo jealous, you lucky people! I'm hoping... REALLY hoping that we'll have a Craft Rave in Vancouver. This is absolutely my idea of a good time!!! Details found HERE

EDITED to add that if anyone does go, you are welcome to post any photos you take as entries for our Crochet In the Wild photo contest!

hey guys! im a student and really would love to make crochet a side hustle but ive had no luck in finding places to vend that dont require me to have a million dollar insurance contract, licence, or pay $200 for one day.

i understand that i would need to pay a large sum to the venue for the good costumers but im just starting out and so i have no funds and flea markets havent been giving me nearly as much as i need for the effort i put into it

any help or suggestions would be so very appreciated!!

I got my interchangeable needles here many years ago. The owner was so kind and patient with me while I looked at everything.
