Knitting In Public
Readers of my blog will know that last month I went for the first time to join a group of knitters in a local pub, our next get together is this coming Monday. Reading someone elses blog I came across a link to WWKIP Day, the World Wide Knit in Public Day, this is to be Saturday 9th June 2007 and the idea is to host a public knitting gathering and get as many people as possible to come along…
so girls – what do you think, a picnic in the park by the river? I’m not sure our usual location – the George & Dragon – would be happy with us taking over the pub on a summer Saturday!! Monday evenings when the pub is empty ok, summer Saturdays when they are packed and people spill out onto the green outside – probably not!
If anyone would be interested in a KIP Day in/around Marlow then please let me know and suggest some locations……if you happen to be from a local yarn shop in/near Marlow, Buckinghamshire then (1) let me know where you are ‘cos I desparately need a LYS!!! and (2) would you be interested in helping promote a KIP day?
I wonder if I could combine this with my continuing campaign to raise £1,000 for Breakthrough Breast Cancer ?
As you can probably tell, I’m thinking this through as I speak – anyone who would be interested in a days knitting in the park in Marlow please shout!

Argh for working on Saturdays!
As much as I would love to partake in a knitout by the river I don’t get off until 5. Hrmph.
Heavens above, I hadn’t even realised it was Knit in Public Day on June 9. Must start organising things in West Cork…
How are your plans/panics going for Round Three of Sock Madness? Any visions of what the pattern might be? The right yarn to use?
(It’s OK, we’re in different divisions…)
