RainCityKnits

RainCityKnits was born out of a love of both knitting and bright, fashion-forward colours: two interests that are not often harmonized. Necessity being the mother of invention, we decided to take matters into our own hands and create our own yarns in a palette of colours that inspire us. This is our blog, written by Krista, our owner / designer and Sarah, her best friend and an all around cool lady.

Saturday morning vibes ✌️

Part of my creative hiatus is about taking the time I need to deal with the BASICS The types of things that so often don't get dealt with when running around trying to run a business. This desk and it's predecessor hadn't been this tidy in *years* ✌️ Today feels like a huge accomplishment, a part of prioritizing self care after years of self neglect. How are you practicing self care today?

Often I find inspiration when I'm walking around the Downtown Eastside Not sure what this item was in a past life but it sure is pretty and makes me think of a tropical climate as opposed to all this rain 🌴🌵🌶️#garbageinspo #dtes #sorrylucas

Huge shoutout to Up A Creek Farm on Vancouver Island for this bumper pack of yarn! Made with their very own Angora Goats' Mohair 🐐 www.upacreekfarm.webs.com #supportlocal #bcmade

Snowshoeing vibes 🌨️🌲

So honoured to be hanging out with the good women of #Atira at the @ewmastore on such an empowering day 👭👭👭 Knitting my #p_ssyhatproject hat in this energy is the best #girlpower #betterlatethannever

I'll be at the Vancouver Women's March (10am at Canada Place) to show my support for equality and human rights ✊ Hope some of you righteous folks can make it too Image is 'Togetherness' by @_lauraberger_ Thanks @wastedeffort for finding this gem!

Repost from @meganborg. So stunning! Truly in awe of this beauty In her words, "I've been keeping my weaving adventures over @secretwoolsociety but I had to share my finally finished woven scarf 💕 I made it using leftover @raincityknits and @hedgehogfibres sock yarns 💙 Pssst I'm teaching the #cricketloom class over @stashlounge if you're interested in learning how to weave pretty things like this Thanks @meganborg for sharing

Happy 2017 to you beautiful people. I know some of you have been wondering what the heck is happening with RainCityKnits After a lot of self-reflection, I've decided to go on what I'm calling CREATIVE HIATUS. It's been a process to get to this point where I felt ready to share this with you. You guys have been so good to me and I am very grateful Sometimes we need to clear space for something even better to grow. Time to push boundaries, take risks. Here's to a creative year ahead for us all NB: The shop will remain open with yarn that is in stock. No new yarn will be available for the time being Please keep in touch. I'd love to hear about your creative pursuits, knitting or other!

Hey that's my head! Huge thank you to @hairbyrosalinda at @artelsalon here in Vancouver for the beautiful colour 😙

Talking crafty business and feminism with @doozy and #babyizzyv

If you're not familiar with @antipodworkshop and you love vibrant graphics, you need to check it. Stephanie takes photos around the city, works with them digitally to create ultra graphic fabrics. Her work is seriously stunning and I highly recommend visiting her studio out for the last day of the #eastsideculturecrawl

How beautiful is this photo by @woolvanknits? So impressed with how great the colours look. Visit her instagram for a photo of the toque all knit up These three colours are from the Spotlight Accent colour pack in Worsted Weight $45 CAD. Plenty more of these heeeeeeere: bit.ly/rckspotlightaccent

This endless rain 🌧️ here in Vancouver reminds me why I started dyeing such bright yarn. Who else could use some brightness in their life?
