Are you joining us?
Slip into your favourite jeans and let your “diamond” be your most dazzling handmade knit or crochet top. Denim & Diamonds is where cozy comfort meets maker‑glam — a night built for stitchers, creators, and anyone who knows the real luxury is handmade.
Join us on September 25
from 5–9 PM at Trolley 5 Community Brewery for an evening of connection, creativity, and pre‑Knit City excitement. Whether your top is lace, brioche, granny squares, Tunisian texture, or full chaotic‑good scrappy brilliance, this is your moment to shine.
dare to craft DIFFERENTLY
If you’ve ever been to a Yarn Rebel event, you already know what you’re in for: big laughs, big vibes, and the kind of community magic you simply can’t bottle.
If you haven’t? Brace yourself, the Rebels don’t exactly specialize in subtle.
This is your moment to unwind before the Knit City weekend begins,
meet fellow makers, reconnect with friends, and soak up that
unmistakable Rebel Energy, the kind that keeps people coming back again and again.

Chantal is the purple‑haired, potty‑mouthed, self‑taught knitting renegade from the frozen wilds of Calgary, Alberta. Born in -30°C, she’s basically frostbite in human form, which is why she’s forever wrapped in the chunkiest oversized sweaters, fleece‑lined tights, cozy slippers, and a chai latte glued to her hand.

Born in -30°C, she’s basically frostbite in human form, which is why she’s forever wrapped in the chunkiest oversized sweaters, fleece‑lined tights, cozy slippers, and a chai latte glued to her hand.
When she’s not knitting like a woman possessed, she’s cackling at Instagram reels, snuggling her two chaotic weenies (Kurt Russell and Spinelli), devouring whatever deliciousness her hottie husband Todd cooks, or nose‑deep in a smutty romance novel.
She’s also the award‑winning, bestselling badass behind Sweater Success: From Cast On to Closet, and her mission is simple—make you feel fearless every time you pick up your needles.

Meet the gals behind the brand
Fiona and Amanda are the heart and soul behind Knit Social, a creative venture that has been shaping the knitting and fibre craft community since 2012.
Fuelled by a genuine passion for textile arts, we find joy in sharing this enthusiasm with our local community and beyond.
Their mission is to recognize and celebrate the talent within the Canadian knitting community by bringing people together to cultivate connections, encourage collaboration, and share a love for all things fibre.
Knit Social is more than just events; it's a space where creativity flourishes. From cozy retreats to large-scale events like Knit City Vancouver and now Knit City Montreal, Toronto and Calgary, we've created a diverse tapestry of crafting experiences across Canada.
