Worldwide Knit in Public Day..I did, did you?

By -


Locals will know where I knitted immediately by the fish cups: BOB CHINN's crabhouse on Milwaukee. I have wanted a Mai Tai since about March and finally got one tonight. I did knit in public at our booth and I felt compelled to tell my waitress, Lynette (!) that it was worldwide knit in public day. She said she saw a group knitting at her Borders and the man in the group was the fastest knitter she saw.

Someone did stop by our booth as I knitted and told me her sister is a knitter and she also rides a motorcylce. Her plates say "I knit". I told her that was great!
Does anyone know her sister by the plates?

My camera batteries were recharging at the time, so you'll just have to believe me!
I had the Onaga from hawaii and it was a pure indulgence. I am working on my drawstring ponch. I ditched the moss colorway and am using Rayon Boucle colorway Australia. No worms. :)
Please leave me your email or blog so I can thank you for your comment.

Wow, that sounds like a great place. Yummy!! And isn't it great how kntting opens the door to some great conversations. I knit a bit in public today, while waiting at the hairdressers. They're used to me by now, and always ask to see my projects. :)

My surprise came yesterday - I LOVE IT!!!! I can't wait to knit one up. :) Thank you so much. I'll be snapping pics today (now that the rain has finally stopped) and posting all about it.

LOL!! What is it with men? Our knitting group taught a guy to knit last year and when he came back for the next meeting he had all his needles in this massive tool box and he got THE BIGGEST needles he could find at the craft store! It's like, "OK. We get it you're a guy...it's ok to knit..." (insert ape-like grunting noises here)

Glad you guys had a great WWKIP day!

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I

  These are the one square bunnies .  They are a free pattern on Rave1ry.  I'm bunny making to force spring to come.  I'm a1so taking it easy on my hands again.  The med we tried did keep my hands from shaking, but it was a med for a med. and that's crazy town.  I can contro1 a hook much better than need1es.  It wi11 have to suffice for now.  I'm enjoying your b1ogs and your Spring.  This time of year I so want to 1ive in a southern state.  But this Spring is a new one for me and I'm going to find a way to 1ove it.   IT may have just gotten to 50.   Degrees.  I have to run.  There's very ear1y yardwork to do.   The birds have 1eft a rotten mess of sunf1ower she11s under the feeders.  I hope it is not frozen!  Have you been switching things up in your neck of the woods?   I haven't forgotten you, b1og pa1s.  I 1ove seeing you on Instagram .

Do You Smile When You Knit???

I am pretty sure I smile when I knit.  I'm going to think about that today when I pick up the baby blanket in progress.  I am also pretty sure I cry when I knit; well, not really.  I have shed some tears over the years but they were way back.  I surely scowl when I drop a stitch.   A time lapse of knitters' faces would be interesting enough .... Tank, aka Helo, is starting to smile around here.  Just look into those aqua eyes......they make me smile all the time. He is half Siamese and all gorgeous.
