In Public?! Gasp!

by barbara waters

Ah, facetious one, aren’t we?

While perusing news items - yes, there are newsy items about knitting - I came across the upcoming World-Wide Knit in Public Day. AND, there is even one group set to participate way up here in the hinterlands of Alaska - in Anchorage - this Saturday. Sadly, I will be on the other end of southcentral in Homer for a writers conference.

But, I will have my knitting with me - and I will likely be knitting in public. Little has stopped me to date. I have knitted during meetings, choir concerts, band concerts, on planes, in cars, etc., etc., etc.

Okay, I probably will NOT be knitting while in the various seminars during the conference, (I mean, really, people - Amy Tan is the keynote speaker!) but there will be lots of other times when I can pull out the sticks and knit (and purl) away.

Unofficially, official, that’s me. Won’t you join us?

    I sure will! (Join you, that is) I must admit I’m always a bit self conscious knitting on the bus but once I put my mp3 player on and get into the groove of things, I’m fine!

    I hope you enjoy the conference :)

About Knitting Passion

Is knitting really a passion? On THIS blog it is - for all who come here. Blog entries will be made up of patterns, photos of in-progress or completed work - off the wall discussions about whatever tickles the author's fancy (Survivor Knitting anyone?). This can be as much YOUR blog as it is the current author's. Questions will be entertained and answers sought diligently. Comments are always welcome - and information ALWAYS appreciated. Will there be stories and pictures of the stash of yarn or the duplicated knitting needles? Will there be more off the wall ideas for knitting? Will there be original patterns or freebies cited? Only the dark of night and the author's amount of caffeine or sleep can determine that.

Ready? ONE - TWO - GET SET - KNIT!
