Stephanie, All About Ami | @allaboutami
Stephanie is the inspiring maker and blogger behind All about Ami. “Ami”, pronounced ‘ah-mee’, is short for amigurumi, the Japanese art of knitted/crocheted stuffed animals. While she technically started making amigurumi at age 10, Stephanie rediscovered the art after grad school and marriage. While pursuing her passion, she has inspired others to take up crocheting with beautiful designs from cup cozies and headbands, to beanies and cowls! She also has a collection of adorable tote bags, mugs and apparel called “The Lambert Collection” that charitably supports a classroom of children in Guatemala. Alongside her amigurumi, Stephanie also shares her interests for writing, baking, styling and traveling with the maker community, inspiring more than 100,000 fellow makers online. |

Chantal, Knitatude | @knitatude
Chantal is the passionate maker and potty mouth knitter behind Knitatude. Driven by her love of designing and yarn, Chantal is all about feeling comfy in simple and basic knits while designing beginner friendly patterns for the garment newbie. If she's not knitting, you can find her scrolling on Instagram to feed her social media addiction, stuffing her face with popcorn or playing with her two dachshund pups Kurt Russel and Spinelli. With a keen interest in inspiring others to pursue their maker businesses and a one-of-a-kind eye for design, Chantal keeps it genuine and oh so real, inspiring nearly 30,000 fellow makers online. |
Venue: The Pioneer
The Pioneer on 8th, in Calgary's vibrant downtown, has an unique history & was once two separate significant buildings.
The Calgary Cattle Company building was constructed in 1903, and later became known as the Pioneer Meat Market building. Next to it, was the Calgary Milling Company building built in 1901. Throughout the years, both buildings underwent may changes, most recently restoration and modernization into what is now known as The Pioneer @thepioneeryyc.
