Knit in Public Day - SATURDAY JUNE 11TH



Saturday June 11th, 2011
60 days until Knit in Public Day

Saturday June 11th, 2011 a
Second Saturday of June

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.
