A big THANK YOU to everyone who has helped us build our BC Yarn Shops and BC Crochet Designers, Artists and Authors megathreads!

A community member recently sent us information about a yarn shop that wasn't already on our list and it was a great reminder that these resources are growing thanks to all of you.

Our hope is that these megathreads become a useful resource for crocheters across British Columbia - whether you're looking for a local yarn shop to visit or hoping to discover BC-based designers, artists, authors, and content creators.

If you know of a BC-based yarn shop, pattern designer, artist, author, or crochet content creator who isn't currently listed, please send a message to the mod team. We'd be happy to add them and help showcase the amazing crochet community we have here in BC!

The first photo challenge entry has arrived and what a stunning photo it is! Butterflies on a beach in Nanaimo from u/BippyBuddies

A friendly reminder that if you're heading outside with your crochet this summer, don't forget to snap a photo 📸 and post it here as part of our Crochet in the Wild – Summer Edition, which runs until midnight, August 31, 2026.

You can find all the details here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CrochetBC/comments/1u5s63q

Happy crocheting and stay cool out there! ☀️🧡

Now that summer is officially here and the sunshine is out, we want to see where you and your crochet kits are traveling! Whether you are crocheting on a ferry, finishing an object at a local beach, or working on a blanket at your favourite neighborhood cafe, it’s time to show it off.

Welcome to our first r/CrochetBC "Crochet in the Wild" Photo Challenge - Summer Edition

How to Participate:

• Take a Photo of your current WIP (Work in Progress) or a FO (Finished Object) against a distinctly British Columbian backdrop.
• Create a new post on the subreddit.
• Select the "Crochet in the Wild 🌲" post flair so everyone can easily browse the entries.
• In your post title or comments, let us know roughly where you are stitching (e.g., “Crocheting an amigurumi frog on the ferry to Nanaimo!” or “Finally finished my summer top at Stanley Park!”).

The single highest-upvoted photo by the end of August will be crowned the winner. We will pin your post to the top of the subreddit for a full week, and you’ll receive a permanent, exclusive user flair: 🌲Wild Stitch Master🌲

We will also compile the top 5 photos into a special r/CrochetBC banner collage!

The challenge starts right now and runs until August 31. You can enter as many times as you like with different projects and locations!

Grab your yarn, head outside, and show us your favourite BC crafting spots. We can't wait to see what you're making!

Consider this your invitation to share your patterns with the community! Whether your designs are free, paid, or somewhere in between, we'd be happy to see them here. Supporting BC designers is one of the things that makes this community special and we'd love to help people discover your work.

r/CrochetBC was created was to help crocheters across BC connect with one another and discover what's happening in their own communities.

Do you know of any crochet groups, classes, library programs, yarn shop events, fibre festivals, or other crochet-related gatherings in West Vancouver?

There may be crocheters in West Vancouver looking for exactly that kind of connection and simply not know it exists.

If you know of a local group, class, event, or gathering, we'd love to hear about it!

And a big THANK YOU to the mods of r/westvancouver  for kindly allowing this post. 🧡

Just over two months ago, r/CrochetBC was created and there was no way of knowing what kind of community it would become.

But in those two months, some wonderful things have been happening.

People have shared projects, advice, encouragement, questions, events, local resources, and stories from communities across British Columbia.

That's what turns a collection of subscribers into a community.

Every post, comment, and even every upvote helps make this community what it is.

Thank you all for helping make r/CrochetBC such a welcoming place.

What a great start! 🧡

Thank you mods of r/Vancouver4Friends for letting me say that if anyone is looking for a crochet hobby buddy, r/CrochetBC might be worth knowing about!

Do you know of any crochet groups, classes, library programs, yarn shop events, fibre festivals, or other crochet-related gatherings in North Vancouver?

There may be crocheters in North Vancouver looking for exactly that kind of connection and simply not know it exists.

One of the reasons r/CrochetBC was created was to help crocheters across BC connect with one another and discover what's happening in their own communities. If you know of a local group, class, event, or gathering, we'd love to hear about it!

One of the reasons r/CrochetBC was created is because so many local crochet groups, classes, yarn shop events, and community gatherings can be surprisingly hard to find unless you already know someone involved.

If you know of something happening in your community, we'd love for you to share it with us!

You don't need to be the organizer. You don't need to be a member of the group. If you've seen a poster at a yarn shop, heard about a meetup at a library, found a class online, or know of a local crochet gathering, feel free to post it.

A link, a photo of a poster, or even a simple description of the event can help other crocheters discover opportunities they might never have found otherwise.

Whether it's a weekly stitch-and-chat, a beginner class, a yarn crawl, a fibre festival, or a one-time community event, chances are there are crocheters nearby who would love to know about it!

Hi everyone!

I'm curious how many crocheters we have here in Port Alberni.

r/CrochetBC is bringing together crocheters from communities all across BC to share projects, exchange tips, and connect with fellow yarn enthusiasts. It would be wonderful to see Port Alberni represented in the community!

A big thank you to the mods of r/PortAlberni for allowing me to post here. 🧡
