It’s Knit in Public Day

June 13, 2009 is WorldWide Knit in Public Day (WWKiP), an annual social event for knitters.   Events are also being held on June 14, making this a WWKiP Weekend.

Here is a description from the WWKiP web site:

“WWKiP Day is unique, in that it’s the largest knitter run event in the world.  Each local event is put together by a volunteer or a group of volunteers.

WWKiP Day is really about showing the general public that knitting can be a community activity in a very distinct way.  In some places there are many different knitting groups that never interact with each other, on WWKiP Day they come together in one place, making them hard to miss.”
