Knit + Stitch 2026: How It Was

What a wonderful adventure it was! It’s hard to put into words everything I’m feeling right now. I still can’t quite believe it actually happened. It really was a dream come true: my own little crochet shop for four whole days. Can you imagine!

It was such a pleasure to finally meet my customers in person, to chat, listen to your stories, hear what you think of my products, and see you smile when you read the No Panic Crafts sign. All those “oh, that’s so nice”, “pretty” and “I love the bags” comments, and seeing how excited you were to make them, meant the world to me. Thank you all so much ❤️

It was also lovely to meet so many talented artists and makers. I didn’t get to see every stall, as I was busy at mine, but the ones I did see were so inspiring!

We were also lucky to have wonderful neighbours, @dreamywoolofficial and @the_seductive_stitch. Thank you both for your support and guidance! And special thanks to @the_seductive_stitch for helping us figure out what to do with our table, which turned out to be too big for the stand. I don’t know what we would have done without you!

And of course, thank you again to my husband and friends who helped me and came to support me during the show. Love you guys 🥰

Right now, I feel excited, inspired and ready to work even harder, despite how physically tired I am. I’ll also be sharing some of my K+S numbers soon, but first I need to spend some time on the sofa and unpack all my show stuff. That might take a while 😅
