☠️Happy Halloween friends! ☠️

Well, the wait is over!!!!

Yarnice is officially ready for Halloween, and honestly, was there ever any doubt she’d end up dressed as a hot pink Yip Yip?!

I mean, when you live at Knit Happens YYC, I feel like this was pretty much inevitable. 🤣

She’s pink, she’s ridiculous, and those eyeballs are absolutely killing me! 👀😂

Happy Halloween from Yarnice and Knit Happens YYC! 🩷

Everyone have fun out there today! Make it the spooky one!

Pop into Main Street Market Okotoks, have a peek, and shop handmade!

A little happiness in every stitch.

Last night’s Prairie and Pine Spooky Florals & Tarot class was AMAZING! 🖤💜

Gabby seriously knocked it out of the park with the flowers she brought in! The black and purple roses were gorgeous, but those purple, black and grey carnations?! OBSESSED. I didn’t even know carnations could look that freaking cool!

Arrangement-wise, this was probably one of my favourite classes yet. I just loved how everything came together!

Now I can’t wait to see what Gabby comes up with for her Christmas arrangement class! 🎄

❤️ HEY YYC FRIENDS! HAVE YOU HEARD OF GEAR UP FOR WINTER?

Gear Up For Winter is an incredible local initiative supporting homeless, vulnerable, and at-risk youth right here in our community, some as young as 12 years old.

As a mom to a 13-year-old, I find this especially difficult to think about. I can’t imagine a child that young having to worry about where they’ll find warm clothing, basic necessities, or the support they need to get through another cold Calgary winter. These are kids, and they deserve to feel safe, warm, and cared for.

For the third year in a row, I’m proud to be supporting this wonderful initiative, and I’m sharing it today in hopes of encouraging others to get involved too!

Gear Up for Winter helps provide winter clothing, essential supplies, and access to important community resources for young people who need them most.

AND HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP THIS WEEKEND!

❤️ CBC CALGARY DONATION DRIVE

📍 1000 Veterans Place NW, Calgary
Saturday, October 31 | 10 AM – 1 PM

They’re currently looking for donations of underwear, gloves and mittens, and gift cards.

Simply drive up and drop off your donations!

Whether it’s one item or several, every little bit helps. And if you’re unable to donate, sharing this post is another wonderful way to spread the word.

No child should have to face a Calgary winter without the basics to keep them warm.

Learn more at https://gearupcalgary.com/

Let’s show these young people just how much their community cares. ❤️

Turns out, I’m basically a goldfish. And I’m perfectly fine with that.

I think we all have our own little fishbowl.

Mine just happens to be at home, surrounded by yarn, crochet hooks, a Diet Coke, and about 47 things I should probably be doing instead.

But honestly? It’s my favourite place to be.

Give me a day at home working on restocks, making cute little things, and getting lost in my own thoughts, and I’m a happy girl.

It’s where I do my best thinking. Sometimes I solve all the world’s problems. Sometimes I just think about what I’m going to make next.

Either way, I love my little fishbowl.

And one of today’s many projects? Well, this one seemed pretty fitting.

A little goldfish in his very own fishbowl. No feeding, no cleaning, and absolutely no chance of finding him floating upside down. You’re welcome.

So tell me… what’s your fishbowl? Where’s that one place you’re perfectly happy just doing your thing?

FOR ALL OF YOU WAITING FOR LARRY’S BIG SWEATER REVEAL… HERE HE IS!

Larry has been incredibly patient while I found the time to finish his fabulous granny square sweater vest!

But the wait is officially over, and he’s dressed to impress just in time for Halloween week!

The hat. The vest. The crossed legs. The attitude.

Honestly, I think he’s pulling it off better than most of us.

And judging by that pose, Larry knows he looks damn good.

Larry is officially Halloween-ready in T-minus 9 sleeps!🎃👻💀

TURNING YARN INTO HOPE — ONE STITCH AT A TIME! 💗

I am absolutely blown away by the love and support I’ve received since announcing my November fundraiser!

To everyone who has donated, shared, or helped spread the word — THANK YOU! THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!

I’m already at 46% of my $2,500 fundraising goal, and it’s not even November yet!

For those of you that don’t know, This November, I’m participating in the Canadian Cancer Society’s November Knitting Challenge in honour of some incredibly special people I’ve lost to cancer.

I’ve already kicked things off with a personal donation from my Knit Happens YYC sales. 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. Everything I create will be donated at the end of the month to bring warmth and comfort to others.

30 days. Countless stitches. One meaningful cause.

If you’d like to support my challenge, the donation link is in my bio. Every donation, big or small, means so much. And sharing this post helps just as much!

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