September roundup
September always feels like a fresh start. Whether it’s the shift in seasons or the return of the academic calendar, there’s a sense of new beginnings in the air. At Baaad Anna’s, this past month was especially exciting as we celebrated our 15th anniversary and participated in some amazing community events.
Celebrating 15 Years of Fibre Love
First and foremost, we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our 15th Anniversary Sale! Your support and enthusiasm have truly warmed our hearts. Seeing so many familiar and new faces during our Make-A-Long (MAL) and weekly knit nights has been inspiring. Your yarn choices, sweater projects, and shared creativity in-store and online have energized the fibre community in ways we couldn’t have imagined.
Our knit nights continue to be a highlight each week. It’s been wonderful to watch everyone connect over their projects, swap tips, and encourage each other. The energy and camaraderie have truly made this a special time at the store, and we’re so excited to see the beautiful sweaters that will come out of this MAL.
XOXO Fibre Market Success
One of the standout moments of September was our booth at the XOXO Fibre Market in North Vancouver. The event brought together lot of local makers, artists, and fibre enthusiasts. We had such an amazing time meeting so many of you in person!
XOXO was a celebration of creativity and community, and we were honored to be a part of it. Our booth was filled with some of our favorite hand-dyed yarns, DIY kits, and accessories. It was a joy to watch people explore our offerings, share their projects, and get inspired by all the creativity in the room.
A huge congratulations to the organizers for putting together such a fantastic event! The atmosphere was electric, and we loved every moment of being surrounded by so many talented people.
Another highlight of this month has been the outpouring of support for our Fibre Libraries across Vancouver. We’ve received generous donations, which will help bring the joy of knitting to even more people in our community. If you’d like to contribute, it’s never too late!

Interested in expanding this wonderful initiative to your own neighborhood? We’ve created a how-to guide on setting up your own fibre library! It’s a great way to share the joy of knitting and create connections in your local community. Check out our blog post here to learn more about how you can get involved and make a difference.

And of course, I want to give a special shoutout to our incredible staff. Their hard work and creativity—especially the beautiful sweater samples on display—have been an endless source of inspiration for everyone who visits.
