Knit City Vancouver

Sep 24, 2025

Are you ready for this weekend?? It's Knit City Vancouver! 

This is something I always look forward to, and it's a little extra special this year because it's the final weekend at the PNE Forum. There have been many a-nights eating take-out noodles at the Atrium and singing karaoke at the hotel bar. (Not me singing, me listening to other people sing, of course!) 

Workshop tickets are all sold out, but I'll be milling about the marketplace on Saturday afternoon, so please feel free to stop me to say hi, chat with me about knitting and show off your marketplace goodies ❤️

 

Purchase Your Marketplace Tickets 


 

Since it's the last year at the PNE Forum, I thought I'd share a few of my favourite things to do in the area. 

 

 

Italian Gardens - Take a break from the hustle and bustle of the marketplace in this beautiful garden filled with opera themed sculptures and bubbling fountains. It's located right on the Hastings grounds, just past the skate park.

Pho Don - Right across the street from the Atrium Hotel, stop into Pho Don for some knitting and noodles. The Chicken Vermicelli Bowl is my favourite, just make sure not to mix up your chopsticks and knitting needles! 

Tacofino Commissary - If margaritas and tacos are more your thing, take a jaunt down Hastings Street to Tacofino. It's about five blocks down the road, near Hastings and Nanaimo, and has the most delicious fish tacos I've ever had. 

Slidey Slides Park - Got littles joining you? On the other side of Hastings Park is my daughter's favourite playground. It's got some really, really great slides. Like, really great. 

 


 

Won't be able to join us at Knit City this year, or missed out on class registration?

Why I'm Knitting a Sweater at the Wrong Gauge
  A few weeks ago, I cast on a new sweater project, the Rosie Sweater by Le Knit. This one!    For this sweater, I'm using a gorgeous wool from Ancient Arts Fibres held with a strand of mohair from Knitting with Olive (my first time knitting a sweater with mohair, can you believe it?!).   And before I cast on, I swatched. I made two swatches, actually, one with the colourwork and one without, ...
How I Make Money as a Knitter
  Making money as a small business is hard, and finding room to pay yourself is even harder. I spent many years as a knitter, working at craft markets and selling digital patterns online, and seemingly making a lot of money, only to see it go right back out the door.  So, what changed? Well, in short, I learned a system that allowed me to always make sure I was taking something home, and eventu...
A Provisional Cast On for the Perfect Fit
  Did you know that you don't have to knit a sweater in the same order as the designer?  A few weeks ago, I started knitting the Paul Klee Sweater by Midori Hirose, but there was one thing I knew I wanted to change — the neckband.  It has a high neckline, almost mock turtleneck-like, and while it is gorgeous, I know it's not something I could wear without feeling like I'm being strangled.  So, ...
