World Wide Knit in Public Day was started in 2005 by Danielle Landes. It began as a way for knitters to come together and enjoy each other’s company.

Knitting is such a solitary act that it’s easy to knit alone somewhere and sink into your work without thinking about all the other knitters out there. Get to know your knitting neighbors (and your crochet neighbors too) and attend an event in your area.

Each local event is put together by a volunteer or a group of volunteers. WWKiP events will be held all over the world on June 13th, 14th, 20th and 21st. To find an event near you, check out the official WWKiP Day site. Stitch on!
