TURNING YARN INTO HOPE — ONE STITCH AT A TIME!

This November, I’m putting my hooks and needles to work for something bigger.

Cancer has touched my family and my circle of friends. Over the years, I’ve lost some incredibly important people in my life to this awful disease. This challenge is my way of honouring their memories while giving back to a cause that means so much to me.

I’m participating in the Canadian Cancer Society’s November Knitting Challenge, and I’ve set a fundraising goal of $2,500!

To get things started, I’ve already made a personal donation using a portion of my Knit Happens YYC sales from last month, So if you’ve supported my little business, you’ve already helped make a difference!

Throughout November, I’ll be knitting or crocheting at least one item every single day. At the end of the month, everything I create will be donated to bring a little warmth and comfort to others.

30 days. Countless stitches. One meaningful cause.

If you’d like to support my challenge, you can donate directly through my fundraising page:

💗 https://nclvm.com/manl7

Every donation, big or small, means so much. And if you can’t donate, sharing this post is another wonderful way to help!

Let’s turn yarn into hope, one stitch at a time. 💗

TO BLOCK OR NOT TO BLOCK… THAT IS THE QUESTION!

Makers, do you block your finished projects? Or are you firmly in the NO BLOCKING camp?

And more importantly… WHY?!

Me? I’m a steam-blocking girl through and through!

You’ve spent hours, sometimes DAYS, putting time, effort, and love into every stitch. Why wouldn’t you take that final step to make your hard work shine?

I love seeing my blankets become beautiful, even squares or rectangles, with straight edges and perfectly lined-up stitches.

Steam blocking also helps relax the yarn, giving everything a softer, more natural drape.

To me, blocking isn’t about fixing mistakes. It’s about giving all that hard work the finishing touch it deserves!

Because after THAT much work, you better believe my projects are getting the full spa treatment!

And yes, those are Diet Coke boxes. We use what we have around here!

Now tell me…

TEAM BLOCK or TEAM DON’T BOTHER?

I want to hear your reasons!

HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY TO KNIT HAPPENS YYC’S EMPLOYEE OF THE WEEK — EVERY WEEK!

Another year older, another year of sleeping on the job, demanding snacks and contributing absolutely nothing to production.

And somehow, he remains completely irreplaceable.

Happy Birthday, Dash! We luv ya buddy!!!

A friend came over for breakfast this morning and somehow we ended up talking about this black shelf.

For weeks, I was SO excited watching it fill up.

Every ear warmer I finished went onto that shelf until it was absolutely bursting at the seams.

And now?

It’s empty.

And somehow, I think I’m even more excited about that.

Stock for all FIVE stores is officially ready to go — made, tagged, packed up, and some already delivered.

It’s funny how a full shelf felt like such an accomplishment…

until I realized what an empty one meant.

It means I did it.

125 ear warmers.
5 stores.

Messy Bun Ear Warmer season officially starts October 1st.

We’re ready.

And I did it with ONE WHOLE DAY to spare. Please hold your applause. 😜

IT’S MESSY BUN EAR WARMER RELEASE WEEK!!!!

THREE. MORE. SLEEPS……..

Tomorrow the first TWO store drop-offs are happening and I am SO freaking excited!

The new tags + business cards designed by my beautiful and ridiculously talented cousin Makenna Makenna are beyond amazing.

Custom 3D printed business card holders made by my favourite son Oliver Oli’s Prints — perfection.

Custom wooden ear warmer stands made by the one and only Nancy My Little Workbench — TOP NOTCH.

And can we talk about these COLOURS?! Could they be any more beautiful?!

Two stores tomorrow, three more to finish up and drop off this week… and then October 1st WE GO LIVE!

Anyway… we’ve got s**t to make.

Happy Friday my friends!!!!

After all my little 1… 2… 3… 4… 5 teasers, I can FINALLY tell you what I’ve been working on behind the scenes!

On October 1st, Messy Bun Ear Warmer season officially begins!

You guys have been asking me to make them more accessible, sooooo… this year you’ll be able to find them in FIVE stores!!!!

Main Street Market | Alberta Gift Shops 🇨🇦
📍Strathmore / Mahogany / Okotoks

Creative Souls Artisan Market
📍High River

All Things Pretty Market
📍Airdrie

Five stores. 25 gorgeous colours. Brand new custom displays from My Little Workbench AND a surprise little impromptu tag rebrand because apparently I didn’t already have enough to do. (I’ll share those when they get here next week!!)

This is my biggest Messy Bun Ear Warmer rollout ever, and I am SO SOOOOOOO excited to see them hit all five stores!

Sometimes you think you’re ready to slow down… and then something clicks and you’re like, NOPE. I’m not ready JUST yet!!! Lol.

Apparently I’ve still got some chaos left in me.💗

Thank you to my very special ladies (you know who you are) that push me, support me, and help me run with these crazy ideas. Love you guys!!!!
