Knit in Public Day

The second annual World Wide Knit in Public Day is being organized for June.10.2006! Cool, huh? My knitting group is already celebrating our 1 Year Anniversary on May.21.2006 at a beach park. I don't think it'll take much convincing for our group organizer and other members to participate in a knitting event and join in on WWKIP!

Places I've knitted in public:

• While waiting for, and on the train & subway-- Almost daily
• In the car (someone else driving)
• At a loooong stoplight when there were also lots of other cars (just once). My friends Aubrey and Rachel do it sometimes when they're stuck at a light or in traffic. (A little too scary for me!)
• In Coffee shops and in bookstores with cafes around the country and the globe.
• On the plane and at the airport.
• On the bus and at the bus stop.
• At a conference.
• At the doctor's office and at the pharmacy.
• At the movie theater, during previews. I am not good enough to knit in total darkness while watching a movie, unless maybe for knitting straight in the round.
• In a Las Vegas casino.
• In restaurants either waiting for a seat or for the food. (Hubby is not very conversational and usually just reads a magazine anyway, so I don't have anyone to talk to.)
• At the beach.
• In the lobby of the Dept. of Mental Health while waiting for a meeting to start.

I KNOW there are knitters out there who've knitted in stanger and more unique places. My ventures in public knitting is mild in comparison.
