Friends, I haven't waited a whole week to do my next posting, but this just has to get out there for anyone who doesn't already know about this:
this Saturday, June 11, 2011, is Worldwide Knit In Public Day!!!
Ok, I'll admit this won't be everyone's cup of tea, but even non-knitters may be curious about this 6th annual international event. It was started in 2005 by Daniele Landes of the United States, and she says that the first year there were about 20 events worldwide, although now it numbers in the hundreds. To find a "kip" (that's "knit in public") event near you, just click on Knit in Public Day. You will be amazed at the kips available not only all over the U.S. but also in Iceland, Estonia, Australia, Portugal, Scotland, Italy, Brazil, Italy, Greece, France and Monaco. . .it goes on and on. The events vary widely, and you are invited to host a kip, so if you like the idea, remember that this is held the second Saturday of each June, and plan something wild. . .
I'll be here with my regular blog post (can it really be deemed "regular" when I'm just starting?) next week. Til then, happy knitting, gardening, whatever suits your fancy. Isn't life just amazing?
