STITCH UP BROOKLYN 2019 IS HERE!!!!

Stitch & Hustle is all about the many makers and small maker business owners that make up this incredible community. We encourage offline support and growth as much as online. Connecting is how we all thrive. Stitch Up Events was born from the idea of taking an online group offline to share fiber love, respect and grow in community.

Stitch Up is truly unlike any other event. Not a shopping or vendor based event, Stitch Up is more than just a knitting or crochet party. It is about celebrating and sharing that good fiber love and growing in community. I am amazed at how each year we have had people who have NEVER held knitting needles or crochet hooks attend and leave having not only made something but learned a new skill and become part of the fiber community.

After 3 successful years in Chicago, I am taking Stitch Up Events to other cities and my home, New York City, is up next. Brooklyn to be exact and what an event we are lining up!
