AMS Knitting & Sewing Club at UBC

Welcome to UBC Knit & Sew! We are a club that strives to build a stress-free, fun environment for all yarn and needle crafters.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter, a beginner crocheter, or someone who just wants to pick up a new hobby, we've got the place for you! Anyone of any skill level is able to join our club to learn, teach, or be in the company of the fibre arts community. We also provide sewing machine rentals!

Weekly Meetings, Events and Workshops

Meetings:

We host weekly, low-commitment meetings around 3 times a week. Here, we create a space for all skill levels of fibre art crafters to:

  • Socialize
  • Connect with peers with similar interests
  • Have a study break
  • Work on projects
  • Start new projects
  • Learn a new skill
  • ... and more!

Events & Workshops

Every so often, UBC Knit & Sew hosts fun events for our community. For 2024, we hope to bring more events to you, so keep an eye out! In years past, we have hosted both club-internal and collaborative events/workshops:

  • Hot Choco-knit & Crochet (Mug Cozy Workshop)
  • Sock Darning Workshop with UBC Sprouts
  • "Heart-Felt Cookies" with UBC Print
