Today is a paperwork day. Ho hum. I am surrounded by yarn and projects that are whispering to me, but I must remain strong and ignore them. Must focus on the paperwork.
That's why I'm blogging. It is a legitimate task and allows me to procrastinate just a little longer.
One of the project staring at me right now is the completed Sprout sans buttons. I found lovely buttons yesterday and only need to sew them on. Then I will be ready for World Wide Knit in Public Day, Brunswick style!
That's right. This Saturday, June 14 is WWKIP. As I mentioned before, we'll be KIPing all over Brunswick and would love to have as many knitters and nonknitters as possible join us. If you participated in the Sprout KAL, wear your Sprout! The plan is to get a group Sprout photo, but at the very least, I want to catch pics of as many Sprouts as possible. If you haven't finished your Sprout, and are still knitting - fabulous! Bring the project along and KIP! I'll get a shot of the Sprouts in progress as well.
For those at a loss as to what to KIP, consider the Seascape shawl from the new summer Knitty. I'm thinking it will be our summer knit-along as I desperately want to make it. But, I am getting ahead of myself. Details on that later.
Back to Saturday.
The schedule is as follows:
8:30am - meet at Crystal Springs Farmers Market
10am - Stop in at The Knitting Experience for updates, find friends, etc...
10am-noon- Knitting on the town mall.
Noon-1pmish - Lunch (111 Maine has lovely outdoor tables!)
1-3pm - Knitting along Maine Street on the benches
3pm - ICE CREAM run!
3-5pm - more knitting
5pm - Dinner and fun at The Frontier Café
This is just a general outline to help those that may be wanting to join the KIP at various times throughout the day find fellow KIPers. It may change slightly as ice cream needs shift.
Don't forget to bring your knitting, water, a chair, food and fun $$. If you are planning on being at The Frontier Café let me know TODAY so I can give them a head count.
See you on Saturday!
