Knit in Public Day

My knitting group participated in the World Wide Knit in Public Day on June 10. The turn out wasn't that good for such a large group like ours (but it was still fun.) I think part of it is because June is a month full of graduation activities and vacation for people. I myself have been really busy with work and various other projects this month. I have more committments coming up and the month isn't over!

Anyway, I only attended for about 1 hour. Part of the WWKIP event for our group was to celebrate Rhi's graduation from high school. She's the youngest member in our group.

I made Rhi a large tote bag for her knitting and anything else she wants to carry in it. (It's super large!) I call it "Kimono." I also hand-painted her 2 skeins of 250yds each of merino wool. Each skein is different, but I made the colors coordinate. I decided to give her all that because, she's a cool and mature young lady, and in addition to the graduation, she just turned 18 a few days ago as well. I don't have time to format all the pitures showing the detail, but here are a few sneak peaks:
