Got a current WIP? Finished something recently? Started a new project you’re excited about?

Share it with the community! We’d love to see what BC crocheters are making.

Please note that your project does NOT need to use a BC-designed pattern to be welcome here. While this community supports and highlights BC crochet businesses, designers, shops, and events, your personal crochet projects are always welcome no matter where the pattern came from 💛

EDIT: It’s so lovely seeing people sharing their projects in the comments already! Please know that you are all absolutely welcome to create your own posts to show off your WIPs, finished objects, questions, yarn hauls, or crochet adventures. No need to be shy or worry about whether your project is “good enough”. This community is meant to be warm, supportive, and encouraging for crocheters of all skill levels. Of course, always participate at whatever comfort level feels right for you. ❤️

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!

What would make r/CrochetBC a more engaging and enjoyable community for you? A new weekly thread, contests, flairs, discussion topics, or something we haven't even thought of yet...? Hey! We're all ears! There are no bad ideas. Big or small, we'd love to hear them all.

Fun fact: r/CrochetBC was created back on March 29, which is just 166 days ago. In that time we've grown to 481 members, which isn't bad for a brand-new niche community focused on crochet here in BC!

Did you know our mod team also runs r/FreeCrochetVideos?

It's a subreddit dedicated entirely to crochet video tutorials, making it easy to find instructional videos without having to search through other types of posts.

If you create crochet tutorial videos, you're welcome to share them there! Tutorials for beginners, amigurumi, garments, blankets, shawls, Tunisian crochet, stitches, techniques, and more are all welcome.

If you enjoy learning from video tutorials, we'd love for you to check it out. There are already lots of tutorials to explore and every post has been categorized with flairs so you can easily filter by the type of project or technique you're looking for.

We hope it becomes another useful resource for crocheters, whether you're looking to learn something new or share your own knowledge with others.

Happy crocheting!

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.

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!

Thank you to everyone who shared feedback about the user flairs on r/CrochetBC!

After giving it some thought, I've decided to leave the regional flairs as they are. While I looked into using more official regional names, I don't think doing so would necessarily make things any clearer. The purpose of the flairs isn't to define exact geographic boundaries. They're simply a way to help BC crocheters connect with others who live in the same general area.

To make choosing a flair a little easier, I've put together a list below showing the communities represented by each region. I've also added this information to a sidebar guide called "Need Help Choosing a Flair?" so it's easy to find later.
