Knit in Public Day

The second annual World Wide Knit in Public Day is being organized for June.10.2006! Cool, huh? My knitting group is already celebrating our 1 Year Anniversary on May.21.2006 at a beach park. I don't think it'll take much convincing for our group organizer and other members to participate in a knitting event and join in on WWKIP!

Places I've knitted in public:

While waiting for, and on the train & subway-- Almost daily
In the car (someone else driving)
At a loooong stoplight when there were also lots of other cars (just once). My friends Aubrey and Rachel do it sometimes when they're stuck at a light or in traffic. (A little too scary for me!)
In Coffee shops and in bookstores with cafes around the country and the globe.
On the plane and at the airport.
On the bus and at the bus stop.
At a conference.
At the doctor's office and at the pharmacy.
At the movie theater, during previews. I am not good enough to knit in total darkness while watching a movie, unless maybe for knitting straight in the round.
In a Las Vegas casino.
In restaurants either waiting for a seat or for the food. (Hubby is not very conversational and usually just reads a magazine anyway, so I don't have anyone to talk to.)
At the beach.
In the lobby of the Dept. of Mental Health while waiting for a meeting to start.

I KNOW there are knitters out there who've knitted in stanger and more unique places. My ventures in public knitting is mild in comparison.
