WWKIPD

Mindre än en vecka kvar! På lördag den 14 juni är det dags att ta med sig stickningen ut i offentligen och göra sällskap med oss när vi firar WWKIPD! Vi träffas i Trädgårdsföreningen från kl 13 och håller på så länge vi orkar!


Inget medlemskap eller föranmälan behövs, det är bara att dyka upp och slå dig ner om du blir sugen. Om vädret (mot förmodan) är dåligt flyttar vi in i Tropikhuset.

World Wide Knit in Public Day was started in 2005 by Danielle Landes and takes place on the second Saturday of June each year. It began as a way for knitters to come together and enjoy each others company.
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. They each organize an event because they want to, not because they have to. They bring their own fresh ideas into planning where the event should be held, and what people would like to do.
In the past some people have used this event as a means to show the general public that ‘not only grannies knit!’. Knit in Public Day is really about showing the general public that knitting can be a community activity in a very distinct way. In some places there are many different knitting groups that never interact with each other, on Knit in Public Day they come together in one place, making them hard to miss.
