This year world wide knit in public day will be held on Saturday, June 9th.
http://wwkipday.com/ is the blog for World wide Knit in Public Day.
We keep on waiting for the world to change…don’t wait any longer, and join us to change it.
How?
Knit. Wait, that’s something you already do, or you wouldn’t be here at the world wide kip day site. Establish a community with your fellow knitters. Break the blog-oshpere boundries and get out there. Share your smile, your look of sheer determination, and your happiness when it all goes your way.
Political? Nah, but if everyone in the world were a knitter do you think there’d be as many wars? I don’t think so. Seriously, we’d all be too busy swatching for gauge.

Basically the volunteer host(s) for each area scout out good places for people to gather at to knit and converse comfortably. Cafes, parks, malls and museums are good places. Then they usually pick a time, 10:30am and on seem to be popular times. Some people in the past have done dinner gatherings at local restaurants Next they let the owner of the shop/city planners know in advance with an estimate for how many people they expect as a courtesy. Then they put together a list of things that people might want to bring to be comfortable. The next thing is coming up with a short paragraph to get people excited about going to the gathering. Then send me the info, with a link to the place you’re planning on gathering if available so that people know how to get there. The last thing is to hand out/hang up fliers with your local info at yarn stores, libraries, etc. It sounds like a lot of work, but it’s not so bad, and it’s really a lot of fun in the long run. The best turn outs have been in places where the host(s) got local yarn stores involved, and had local bloggers post about it in advance.

I ate dinner with Ryan's Prom group at Strouds - what a beautiful, friendly, and polite group of young people. They made me feel so welcome and were all so charming.
I've made cinnamon bread, blueberry muffins, and Sausage Breakfast casserole for the family visit and frozen them. I love being able to make things ahead and again.
