Happy Knit in Public Day!

Sometimes it's nice to spend a little one-on-one with your best girl, and that's what Lo and I did today. We headed downtown for snacks, drinks, playtime in the wading pools ... and knitting. Outside in the gorgeous sunshine. Happy World Wide Knit in Public Day, guys! Technically, I believe today kicks off World Wide Knit in Public Week, so if you didn't get a chance to KIP today, don't worry. You still have time.

Want to read some of my favorite stories about my experiences knitting in public? (Someone always seems to have something to say.) Check this post, right here. Happy day!

Happy World Wide Knit in Public Day (WWKiP Day)

Hooray – it's Knit in Public Day! Today kicks off a whole week of k.i.p. fun (all around the world). You can find out all about it here. Or here. And maybe even join a local k.i.p. event near you.

 

This is my personal little k.i.p. group. It's a good one, so I thought I'd share a few pics. We've been meeting up to knit at various coffee shops/restaurants/breakfast spots/local retreats for quite a few years now.

I know ... I'm pretty lucky, huh? If you don't have a little group like this to k.i.p. with, I highly encourage you to seek one out (or start one up) in your area. I've learned so much from these women, and we've exchanged so many stories and been through so much together over the years. Of course, we all have knitting in common. But the friendships we've formed because of all of that time we've sat together while knitting is by far the very best part.
