WWKIP 2009

June 13, 2009 by handknitsbysusan

Today I met up with a group of knitters and crocheters for the World Wide Knit in Public Day. It’s held on the 2nd Saturday of June each year. The gals from the Three Rivers Crochet group did a wonderful job hosting the event! There were even door prizes (in a tent with no doors)…

I’m glad I took so many pictures because, in typical Susan fashion, only a handful actually turned out ok. *sigh*

We had at least 25+ people show up to knit and crochet this year.

And how sweet is this, today is Beth’s one year knitting anniversary (with us)! We met her at last year’s wwkip and she’s been part of the Wednesday knitting group ever since.

Carrie and Minh, working on a hat and scarf respectively. The yarn Minh is using for her scarf is sparkly and really gorgeous.

All in all a really nice day! I even got a chance to get to the yarn store and buy some yarn. Like I need more (see below).

JCA/Reynolds sent me another bag full of sample yarn. One of the perks of being a designer, I guess. Now to get swatching!

    That was so much fun today. I think we need to take over the plaza tent more often! And what a fun selection of yarn to sample. I’m going to have to come visit you and touch them all.

    It completely slipped my mind that Saturday was WWKIP day. I’m sorry I missed all the fun!

    You got great pix, Susan.
    All my pix, good or not so, are on flickr under three rivers crochet.
    You provided excellent support for this endeavor.
    Thanks so much,
    Diane
