Kirkstall: Hookers & Clickers – World Wide Knit in Public Day

June 14 @ 10:30 am - 2:00 pm

Come & join us for a cuppa & a natter as WE – KNIT IN PUBLIC at Kirkstall Bridge Shopping Park outside Costa’s

World Wide Knit in Public Day is held on the second Saturday in June, knitting enthusiasts get together and enjoy each other’s company (WWKIP Day).

The first knit in public event was organized in 2005 by Danielle Landes, so this one is the 10th anniversary!

Knitting has a reputation of being a hobby you do alone. Many people still perceive it as a solitary act, but knitting in a group is becoming more and more popular. World Wide Knit in Public Day was created to bring knitters and entire knitting groups together to make knitting more of a community activity.

WWKIP Day is a perfect occasion for knitters to get out of their houses and go to a local event where they can interact with fellow knitters. Knit in public events are typically organized by local groups & such events are designed to show general public that knitting can be a social activity and that it can be enjoyed by people of different gender, age, and background.

Crocheting is included in this too!
