Aleks Byrd - Meet & Greet, Book Signing and Trunk Show with Aleks Byrd - Saturday 22nd November 2pm - 4pm

Join us for a special meet & greet event with knitwear designer and author Aleks Byrd to celebrate her latest book Kindred Knits: Patterns from My Estonian Family Archives. Aleks will be joining us in store to sign books alongside the complete trunk show from the book to inspire you from 2pm to 4pm on Saturday 22nd November 2025. Kindered Knits is published on 17th October and we are not sure how many copies we may have left on the day of the event. If you would like to ensure you have a copy of the book for Aleks to sign for you please pre-order your book here.

Kindred Knits is a captivating collection of knitwear designs inspired by the old sketchbooks of Aleks’ Estonian grandmother, Hilja, and some of her family’s heirloom crafts. The book features 15 patterns, ranging from socks and hats to sweaters and cardigans, worked in a variety of techniques — including lace, cables and colourwork, as well as Roosimine, a traditional Estonian inlay method. You’ll be able to see in person these beautiful patterns and get Aleks’ input on yarn suggestions for each pattern from our shop. Who doesn’t love the opportunity to shop with the designer herself!

Aleks will be signing copies of the book for attendees - an opportunity to get a personalized dedication! We hope you can join us for what will be an inspiring time in the shop with this talented designer.

Important Information:

The Trunk Show will be upstairs in the shop on Richmond Hill. The upstairs space is accessed via a spiral Staircase.
