Estimated attendance
 18  people attended.

2009 is the 5th anniversary of Worldwide Knit in Public Day where knitters and crocheters step out of the shadows and show off their craft in large communities in public. (Because, you know, we all feel sooooooo closeted about our secret hobby, right?!) biggrin http://www.wwkipday.c...

Those of you who celebrated with us last year at the Capitol will remember that we shared our craft with some very macho and sweet motorcycle enthusiasts.

We will meet again at the Capitol.

Please bring your own blanket/chair, sunscreen, water, food, etc. And of course remember to bring your project. No discrimination against crocheters. :)

    I want to participate in WKIP Day as it will be my first one. Unfortunately it's supposed to be in the 100s heat wise and I get a weird outbreak on my hands in that kind of heat. Is there an alternate indoor meetup?

    looking forward to this one. I LOVE Knit in Public Day. gotta take the puppies to WowWow meetup first, then to knitting. Maybe I'll turn the hells (oops, typo? or truth?) HEELS on my red socks this weekend so I can do mindless knitting at the meetup.
