Celebrate World Wide Knit in Public Day
Meet outside the Woodbridge Main Library. Please bring a lawn chair and a work in progress.
WWKIP DAY (World Wide Knit in Public Day) is unique, in that it's the largest knitter run event in the world. Each local event is put together by a volunteer or a group of volunteers.
We'll meet outside the Woodbridge Main Library on Saturday, June 8 from 10 AM - 4 PM, unless the weather is uncooperative, in which case we will move inside the library. Please bring your lawn chair and a work in progress.
World Wide Knit in Public Day was started in 2005 by Danielle Landes. It began as a way for knitters to come together and enjoy each other’s company. Knitting is such a solitary act that it’s easy to knit alone somewhere and sink into your work without thinking about all the other knitters out there. Neighbors could spend all their lives never knowing that the other knits. 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. Who knows you might even bump into your neighbor! Consider this a spark, to ignite a fire; getting all of the closeted knitters out into fresh air.
