WWKIP day …. starts this weekend!
WWKIP (from the Arctic Circle on down!)
So, this weekend is the start of World Wide Knit in Public Day (which now runs a full week!).
Guess what I’ll be doing at IHM this Saturday???
And then of course, I’ll bring my knitting to rehearsals on Sunday and Monday and Tuesday …
and hmm, I’m sure I could figure out a place to publicly knit on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday … get the picture?
Anyone want to join me for a KIP day?
I followed your link from Ginny’s Yarn Along and also remember you as I used to mostly lurk on the 4real boards…anyway, I wish I had seen this earlier, I would have done this for sure! 🙂 my girls and I are just learning to knit. My 9th old takes her knitting to all of her little vrother’s t-ball games! 🙂
Candace,
I remember you from 4Real! How fun that y’all are learning to knit … and WWKIP actually goes a full week so y’all can still be knitting away. I always knit in public … I got a lot done at IHM conference last week! Have you seen my book, Great Yarns for the Close-Knit Family? There are 12 great read-alouds summarized with over 2 dozen unique designs inspired by these books. Perfect fit for a CM-style homeschool.
Hugs and so glad you stopped by …

Mary, thanks for the book link! I vaguely remember the mention of a book you had written! How fun! Would you say that the easiest project in your book would work for the very early beginner?? We have a dear friend teaching us to knit but we have only had one lesson thus far. You can see in my picture on my blog that we are very simple yet. 🙂 I really do love the idea of read alouds and knitting!! Why didn’t I think of that already! Ha! Also, I am so happy to have clicked on your link today…I am going to put your blog in my google reader for continuing inspiration!! 🙂
Candace,
The book has all levels …. from very easy to a bit more advanced, but all doable! Kacky emailed me a year or so ago and said her daughter actually learned to knit by using my book. Depending on where you are … you’d be able to see the book at a conference where Hillside Education would be (check Margot’s website or email her for conference dates).
So glad to reconnect … and holler if you have any knitting questions … I LOVE talking knitting …
