World Wide Knit in Public Day!

I think I can safely say that WWKIPDay here in Hull was successful. Granted, there were things I had wanted to do that I just didn't get time to do (more/better publicity namely), but my one fear was (thankfully!) not realized. People showed up. Really, so long as I wasn't the only one there knitting by my lonesome, I really didn't care about the coulda/woulda/shouldas!

Most knitters there were from the SnB I normally attend, which was great because I really enjoy spending time with them. We had great weather, and as such were able to sit outside and enjoy it. I think there were 12 of us total, but not all at one time.


Yarn, friends, and sunshine - a great day!


I made a sign, and started up a couple swatches, on the off-chance that passers-by would like to learn how to knit. No one stopped by to learn, which left more time for us to work on our projects!

Zoe makes beautiful hand-spun and hand-painted yarn. Her website is definitely worth a browse!

That's all for this year :)
