This young artist is excited to be part of the festival, raising spending money for an upcoming trip to Mexico. After being inspired by last year’s festival, they couldn’t wait to join in this time around. With creativity and enthusiasm, they’re turning their passion into a fun and meaningful venture.
As a maker, I strive to create and supply folks of all body types and skin types with products that clean and moisturize but also care for the impact on our planet! I use all natural colours, collect my own organically grown flower petals and source ingredients close to home when possible. I also use minimal packaging and have environmental choices available.

We are a fun and quirky, growing family based in Edmonton, Alberta. We hyperfixated too hard, and suddenly we found ourselves with 18 active printers in our basement, popup markets every weekend, a growing fan base within the community, and... where did this baby come from?!
Our two children LOVE testing our newest designed prints and help make the best content for our social media. We have been printing for two years and we STILL love it. How rare is it for a neurodiverse couple to find something they BOTH love without getting distracted? Yeah, we might be the first.

Hi! My name is Molly and I am the hands and heart behind LiL Knits.
I was inspired to start knitting when my kids were little. I wanted beautiful pieces that were warm, fun, and machine washable! With knitting, I discovered a passion and curiosity. I love to create, love to see people enjoying pieces I made, and love trying new variations or modifications. Over the years, I started writing my own patterns and really finding my style of work.
