Kip Day 5 - Knitting Everywhere

As you know I have been celebrating World Wide Knit in Public Day - all week!  This will be my final celebration post for the week.   I am proud of myself for actually posting 5 days in a row to celebrate the occasion.  I hope you have enjoyed seeing all the places I have knit this week.  In honor of the week I offer the following;

All the Places You Can Knit

There are so many wonderful places one could choose to knit.

So many choices that it is quite hard to pick.

You can knit on the street

it really is quite neat.

You can knit at the store

but it could become a bore.

You can knit at the post office

but that's really not for all of us.

You can knit while in traffic

but that's nothing to laugh at.

You can knit with a security guard

but it can be kind of hard.

You can knit with a statue

but you may find it difficult to do.

You can even knit at a hot dog stand

but only if it's groovy man!

You can knit here and there.

You can knit anywhere.

 Knit because it makes you happy.

Knit because you love to share.

Knit where ever your heart may land.

Just knit because you can!

I hope you have enjoyed the week as much as I have.  It has been a challenge but fun!  You know I have to ask one more time - did you knit it public today?

P.S. Little Girl comes home tonight - I can hardly wait!!!!

KiP Day 4 - Knitting Yarn

Here I am knitting in one of my favorite public places -

the yarn aisle of my local craft store.

I picked up a few things while I was there. 

  

. 

I had to!  It was on sale for $1.  

Besides, think of all the money I'm saving.  

Okay, so maybe this location wasn't as crazy as promised yesterday.  But it was fun!

Stay tuned to see where I am tomorrow.

Did you knit in public today? 

P.S.  Little Girl will be traveling home from Puerto Rico late tomorrow night.  I can hardly wait to see her.  Pray for travel mercies. 

KiP Day 3 - Knitting Legislature

 

Here I am knitting in front of the state legislature building. It was another hot day, but not too bad. 

Here is the best picture I could get of the state seal in front of the building.  It is made of granite and marble and truly is a work of art.

Look - what could that be?  Knitting in the cornucopia?  Yep, and guess what, it's not a dish cloth!

I can only hope one dear soul out there is appreciating my efforts.  I got a lot of strange looks while trying to take this picture.   

I'll ask once more, have you been knitting in public?  Don't be a chicken, come on give it a try.  I dare you!

Tomorrow I will come up with somewhere crazy to knit in public.   Don't know where or what it will be, but I'll come up with something.

P.S.  Got a quick update today on the Puerto Rico trip, it sounds amazing.  God is there and He's working.

I hope you will keep praying for Little Girl and her group.

P.S.S.  Today is Big Girl's birthday.  Happy Birthday Big Girl.  We love you!!!!!!

KiP Day 2 - Knitting Downtown

See my knitting sitting on the light post. 

This is where I let it rest while I took a few pictures. 

 

Here I am knitting downtown - the very hot downtown.

Yep, you guessed it - another dish cloth.

Have you been knitting in public? 

I hope you will just once this week.

Please let me know if you do.

Hope you week is going well!

P.S.  I'm really missing Little Girl.  Keeping her in my prayers and in my heart.

It's Here - KiP Week!

World Wide Knit in Public week officially started yesterday.  It runs June 13 thru June 20.  Remember,  I posted about this a few weeks back.  In celebration of KiP week I've decided to try to post a picture everyday this week showing knitting in public.  The pictures will more than likely be me knitting in public or pictures of some of my knitting in public places.  I think you will get a kick out of some of it. 

The picture above is one of me knitting on public transportation.  I knit almost everyday while commuting to and from work on the bus.  I love it!  If I work at it I can do a dish cloth in one day's commute.  My ride one way is kind of long (almost an hour) but the money I save in gas is so worth it.  The real bonus is the knitting time I get in with few, if any, interruptions.  I have figured out that it is best (for me anyway) not to have anything that requires a pattern or a lot of thought.  I like to look around and keep my bearings because of my battle with motion sickness.   When I first started knitting on the bus I got a lot of questions from fellow commuters - "what is that" or "what are you making".   Now most of my bus buddies just accept it and don't really pay much attention to me.  It is a good way for me to block out some of the chatter and noise on the bus and escape into my own little world.  It truly is therapy. 

I hope you enjoy the week. I encourage you to take the challenge and knit in public just once this week. If you do I hope you will share your pictures and/or stories with us.

Stay tuned!

P.S.  Little Girl is having a blast in Puerto Rico.  Tonight they will be having a feast with some local folks.  Please keep them in your prayers.
