World Wide Knit in Public Day with Colorful Stitches Fine Yarn
June 14 @ 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm
World Wide Knit in Public Day
June 14 starting at 2 pm
Join the team at Colorful Stitches Fine Yarn in colonial Williamsburg, VA in celebration of World Wide Knit in Public Day, June 14 starting at 2:00 PM. They will be meeting and using the public chairs, tables or benches in the center of the one-block-long “pedestrian walkway” down the center of Duke of Gloucester Street in Merchants Square in colonial Williamsburg, VA. Look for other knitters informally gathered, introduce yourself and then join in. Please bring your latest project to engage in the theme of knitting publicly. It is also a perfect time to pass along your skill to a newbie, so feel free to teach and demonstrate the fun of being a knitter and making wonderful fiber garments, accessories, toys or whatever your heart desires. If you want to, bring some samples of your work for show-n-tell.
They will provide support in the way of several free patterns to share, extra needles to use, spare yarn to use during your stay, and the excitement of sharing our favorite hobby with the public. This is a FREE event and no reservations are needed, so come and enjoy.
Check in at Colorful Stitches Fine Yarn, 409 W. Duke of Gloucester Street, so we get to know you and continue sharing the excitement of knitting together. In the event of inclement weather, you are welcome to stay indoors at Colorful Stitches and settle in to knit.
World Wide Knit in Public Day was started in 2005 by Danielle Landes and set for the second Saturday in June annually. In the past, this event has shown the general public that all people, of all ages can enjoy knitting and can enliven the community in a singular shared activity.
