Crafts & Cats! A Cozy Montreal Social

A cozy crochet night that feels like going over to a friend’s place after work.

Crafts & Cats is a cozy craft social hosted by the Montreal Crochet & Knit Club inside a private home studio, with three senior resident cats roaming around and keeping us company!

This is a relaxed, small-group hang for people who love making things and want a reason to get out of the house, meet new people, and actually enjoy their evening.

Bring whatever you’re working on:
Crochet, knitting, embroidery, sewing, beading, sketching, journaling, or any creative project that fits in your tote.

Set up your spot, settle in, and enjoy a few hours of focused crafting, good conversation, and easy connections in a warm, welcoming space.

This is a social, not a workshop. There’s no teaching agenda, no pressure, and no experience required. Everyone works at their own pace and connects naturally over their projects.

Light snacks will be available. You’re welcome to bring your own snacks to share.

The space is home to three senior resident cats who will be around during the evening. They’re part of the experience and very much in charge.

This event takes place in a private home studio.
The full address will be sent after RSVP.

Hosted by the Montreal Crochet & Knit Club — the city’s largest fiber arts and craft community.

Come solo. Come with friends. Leave with new craft friends.

This night is for you if:

• You love crafting and want dedicated time to work on your projects
• Curious creatives
• Anyone craving a cozy after-work activity
• People new to Montreal looking for community

• Anyone who loves cats and creative vibes
• You want a social plan that isn’t loud, chaotic, or expensive

• Your project and any supplies you need
• A tote or project bag
• Optional: snacks to share

• This is a social hang, not a guided class
• Three senior resident cats live in the space and will be around
• If you have cat allergies, plan accordingly
• This is a private home studio with limited spots
• The full address will be sent after RSVP
• Please avoid strong scents and respect the space

No experience required.

This workshop is led by Shosho Abotouk, founder of the Montréal Crochet & Knit Club and one of Montreal’s most active community builders in the fiber arts space.

Shosho has taught hundreds of new crocheters through workshops, private lessons, and community events across the city. Her teaching style is warm, clear, and beginner-friendly, focused on creativity, confidence, and connection.

Her mission is to create beautiful spaces where people can learn new skills, slow down, and meet like-minded people through making.

The Montréal Crochet & Knit Club is one of the city’s most wholesome and vibrant creative communities.

We host beginner-friendly workshops, cozy social nights, movie nights, trivia nights, craft meetups, and our beloved Crochet & Comedy show. Our events bring together crocheters, knitters, crafters, and creative souls from all walks of life.

Our community is built around creativity, connection, and good vibes.

This workshop takes place in a private home studio.

Three senior resident cats live in the home. They will not be in the workshop room, but they do live on the premises.

If you have a cat allergy or prefer a cat-free environment, we recommend joining one of our café workshops instead, including

• Café workshops on January 29th and movie night on the 31

Your comfort matters to us, and we want you to have the best experience possible.

If this sounds like your kind of night, grab your spot and join us for a night of stitching!

Spots are limited. Grab your ticket and come craft with us and the cats.
