Knitting in Public
So, as I mentioned before, Saturday, June 9th, was World Wide Knitting in Public Day.
As promised, I carried my knitting along with me to Homer, Alaska - where I am attending the Kachemak Bay Writers Conference with daughter, Lessa. And, Saturday I carried my felted bag along with a pair of socks I have just placed on needles.

Then Lessa and I attended a public reading by the conference keynote speaker, Amy Tan, at the local high school where I found that I was not the only person recognizing the day:

I had to take this shot on the sly and in the dark so had to use photoshop to get it light enough to be seen - thus the grainy, almost artistic view.
Sunday someone else was knitting during the opening workshop and she and I talked for a few minutes - we shook our heads over needing a special day - special permission - during which we could knit in public. She, like I, knits pretty much wherever she goes.
And, so - there ya have it. Our knitting in public day in Homer, Alaska. Life is good - and so is the conference. I’ll be back tomorrow.

awesome job on knitting in public! i tend to do this anyways, so for me the “international holiday” was no change in my daily pattern, but it was neat to see so many people out knitting!
