Let's kick off KCC in style.

 


Denim & Diamonds is all about celebrating makers the way we do best: cozy, creative, a little glam, and a whole lot of fun.


Expect good drinks, good company, and a room full of people who understand the joy of showing off a handmade top you poured your heart into. 


This is your chance to unwind before the Knit City weekend begins, meet fellow makers, reconnect with friends, and soak in that unmistakable Rebel energy.


Limited seats — grab your ticket early. 

Each ticket includes one drink to kick off the night.

We’re thrilled to announce a brand‑new highlight for the night 

 our Diamond Show & Shine Awards.

This is our chance to celebrate the incredible creativity in our community and give your makes the spotlight they deserve.    Throughout the evening, we’ll be showcasing standout projects: the sweaters that stop people in their tracks, the tops that make you feel unstoppable,  the shawls that shimmer with personality and the pieces that carry stories stitched right into them.

 

 So consider this your official call to action: haul out your most beautiful makes.


Bring the project that deserves top honours — or bring a few and decide on the night which one is ready to shine brightest.


If it’s something you’re proud of, it belongs in the Show & Shine.

Chantal is the purple‑haired, potty‑mouthed, self‑taught knitting renegade from the frozen wilds of Calgary, Alberta.

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.

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.

We were fortunate to catch Chantal during an incredibly full teaching weekend, and she graciously carved out time to slip in a special book‑signing just for you all. 

This is the link to pre‑purchase your book, or you’re welcome to bring along a copy you’ve already bought so she can sign it for you.

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@theyarnrebels.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Think cute jeans paired with your favourite handmade item. Knit it, crochet it, sew it—show it off. Bonus points if you rock a little Rebel gear while you sparkle.


 We’ll be honest: it’s downtown Calgary, so parking isn’t exactly dreamy.

But a little birdy told us there’s a school nearby that should be empty that evening, which might give you a better shot at snagging a spot.


 Yes. We’re on the main floor, making it easier for everyone to join the fun. 


Bring your craft, your book for signing, your best mate, and your sunny disposition.         If you bring good vibes, we’ll take care of the rest. 


Refunds are available up to 45 days before the event.
