KnitCity TO day 1!

2 skeins Confetti speckled cotton from Good Grief yarn co which I bought specifically to make a tank top. The girl who was at the booth had a really cool split colour top in this yarn that I am now considering

1 skein Linen Silk Sock in the colour "Have Fun Storming the Harbour Castle" from Indigo Dragonfly because this colour is right up my alley (grey with indigo and colourful speckles)

A DK fade set from Rose Hill Yarns. I misread the price then was too awkward to put it back (I thought they were 50g skeins and they are 100g!) planning on using the green/red yarns together and then the two blue ones together

Overall great market, it was nice to see so many wonderful vendors there and talk to the dyers and knitters and crafters. I was also incredibly grateful for the quiet room lol.

Today I created three awesome rubberized backing machine mats that will be used at the two events next month (Sept 2nd and KnitCity Sept 23 & 24).

Today is the final day here at knit city. We changed up our demo booth slightly - looks awesome and everyone is stopping in to see what this is all about. #knitsocial #knitcity #knitcitycanada #kvc22 #csmdemo #circularsockmachine #circularsockknittingmachine #csmlove (at PNE Forum) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci8a9piPXxv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’ve knitted many socks - cuff down, toe up, afterthought heel, on double points, magic loop, two at a time... I always revert back to my favourite sock pattern -- Basic Sock by Churchmouse Yarns and Teas. If you want a good first sock pattern, this is it :) 

I came across this project photo on Ravelry.com when I was browsing through projects. I absolutely love pooling -- when the colour has its own life and is full of character. Also, I have two types of needles I knit with when i make socks... one is Knitter’s Pride Karbonz (the double pointed needles shown in the photo... unfortunately not all local yarn shop carry these anymore. Few customers complained about the tips popping off, so these customers pretty much ruined it for all) and two ChiaoGoo Twist (the best flexible cord for knitting two socks on magic loop)

GROCERY GIRLS: how lovely are they! I was beyond happy meeting them in person! They’re my knitting inspiration and I love everything they knit. I had to squeeze my morning to see them before weddings! It was absolutely worth it! #pianistmiri #knitting #fashionablymiri #knittersofinstagram #pneforum #vancouver #knitcity #knitcity2017 #grocerygirls (at Vancouver Forum)

post knit city 2018 - vancouver, bc

I had a good time at knit city this year.

Saturday night, I attended the first trivial night that knit city and pom pom magazine hosted. it was pretty fun :) my favourite part was the song lyrics challenge - the hosts changed the lyrics into knitting related - it was well done. 

Each table had a knitting “celebrity”. Only knitters would recognise and get all giddy over these lovely people. Though being very shy, I didn’t go introduce myself. I just sat in the corner of the room and admired them in a distance - still very exciting for me.

I had a fun time but do question if i would attend again and it’s mostly due to the price of the tickets and the price of the beverages... tickets were $30 each and a standard can of beer (Budweiser and Parallel 49 Trash Panda) were $7.50... almost the same price of a six pack of the same beer instead of one single lonesome can.

I went to knit city at the pne forum Sunday morning. It’s usually quiet during that time. I suggest it if you want to avoid big crowds and easy going about special yarn being sold out on the first day, Sunday is the day to go.

Really looking forward to #KnitCity next month! I will be hosting a trunk show as well as a live dyeing session 😍 . During my Live Sessions, I dye colours suggested by my viewers which results in one-of-a-kind gradients and yarns that are then available for purchase in my shop 😊 Its a lot of fun...I really enjoy sharing my process and talking through how I choose and apply my colours! I hope you can join me! . Date and time to come! . @knitcitycanada #fibrefestival #indiedyer #indiedyedyarn #yarn #handdyedyarns #trunkshow (at Hamilton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPwCEe7J0Dn/?utm_medium=tumblr
