About this event

What is “World-Wide Knit in Public Day?” It began in 2005 by Danielle Landes as a way for knitters to come together and enjoy each other’s company.  It is now the largest knitter-run event in the world, with events in over 50 countries. All around the world, people bring out their knitting or other yarn projects to celebrate with others the joy of handicrafts!

It’s all about showing that knitting is for all ages, and all communities, who enjoy the art. This event is open to those who prefer to do other fiber arts projects as well, such as crochet, needlepoint, embroidery, etc.

o  Participants must bring their own chair, materials and project.

Better living through stitching together!

This a specific day to get out of your house and go to a local event (with your knitting in tow) just for you and people like you. Consider this a spark, to start a new project; getting all of the closeted knitters out into fresh air.

In the case of inclement weather, this event will need to be canceled.
