Crochet Guild Australia 2026 Convention, Market Bags & Summer Stash Bash

Welcome back to The Crochet Stitch, the weekly crochet podcast from Yarn Over Hook, the global home of crochet.View the Newsletter: Crochet Goes Global: Australia, Market Bags & Summer Stash BashThis week, crochet is taking us to Wollongong, New South Wales, as we spotlight Crochet Guild Australia’s 2026 Crochet Convention, happening from 19–21 June 2026.Centered around the theme Made to Last, this three-day convention brings together crocheters, fiber artists, educators, and makers for workshops, a yarn market, guest tutors, and community connection. The featured educator lineup includes Toni Lipsey of TL Yarn Crafts, Krisztine Anna Edömér of K.A.M.E. Crochet, Rhondda Mol of Oombawka Design Crochet, Arunima Goel of KnitterKnotter, Abbey of Abbeymade, Jenny King, and Linda Dean.We also ask this week’s community question: which crochet situation would you rather survive? Losing at yarn chicken with only three stitches left, discovering mismatched dye lots halfway through, frogging three rows, weaving in 47 ends, finding a knot at the worst possible moment, or realizing you used the wrong hook size?Plus, we share this week’s Yarn Over Hook livestreams, including Crochet & Chat with the French Market Bag, Summer Stash Bash with Stitches, a YouTube Members exclusive project, and Square Up Saturday with granny squares and crochet charts.We also highlight the latest video, Joining a Fun Summer Mosaic CAL, and feature Yarn Me Calm, a fibre art studio based in Portarlington, Victoria, on Australia’s beautiful Bellarine Peninsula.Whether crochet shows up for you as a convention, a CAL, a market bag, a granny square, a soap sack, or ten quiet minutes with your hook and yarn, it all counts.Grab your project and join us for this week’s stitch.Yarn Over Hook helps crocheters create, learn, and connect.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🔗 LINKS & RESOURCESExplore Yarn Over Hook 🧶 https://yarnoverhook.com/start-here📅 Explore Crochet Events https://crochetevents.com 📬 Subscribe to The Stitch Newsletterhttps://yarnoverhook.com/the-stitch-newsletter/Play Name That Stitch 🎮 https://namethatstitch.comWatch on YouTube 📹https://youtube.com/@YarnOverHookSocial━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ABOUT YARN OVER HOOKYarn Over Hook is the global home of crochet — a platform built to help crocheters create, learn, and connect through tutorials, podcasts, livestreams, events, stitch libraries, crochet games, and community resources.Built by makers, for makers. 🧶🌍 https://yarnoverhook.com/aboutThe Crochet Stitch is a weekly crochet podcast hosted by Sammi Jai and produced by Yarn Over Hook.© 2026 DesignOps as a Service DOaaS LLC d/b/a Yarn Over Hook.
