I practiced my knitting in public this morning. Is there really anything better on a cold rainy morning, than a large cup of coffee and some knitting? Fellow knitter and good friend, Andrea, was supposed to join me in this early KIP, but alas, our schedules didn’t quite meet. I was too early, she was too late. But, we both KIP’ed and now I am almost at the heel, and she finished a project.
Time to make our Knitting in Public Day Brunswick-style schedule official. If you are in the Brunswick area - join us. If you aren’t in the Brunswick area, see that you are, and join us. If you are REALLY not in the Brunswick area, then knit in public wherever you are and send me a picture to post next week.
Details:
KIP is Saturday, June 9th
We will begin our day at the Crystal Springs Farm Farmer’s Market at 9am.. Karen has warned them of our arrival and they are not at all scared. They are even putting up an awning or two to provide shade for us. How’s that for a welcome? I recommend that you bring a folding chair. I will have a few extras with me, but it is always good to come prepared. Bring your knitting (did I need to say that?). Toss some $$ in your project bag, as the shopping promises to be good.
Around 12pm, we shall assemble on the town mall for a picnic lunch. You can brown bag it from home or there are a dizzying number of delectable choices along Maine Street for lunch fare. Just PLEASE remember to save a little change for ice cream at Cotes. Ahhhhh... Java Crunch. Love the Java Crunch.
By 4pm, I figure we’ll need a little something to re-energize ourselves and keep the needles flying. We’ll meet at the Little Dog, caffeinate, knit, talk, etc... .
I think 6pm would be a good time to descend upon Sea Dog for dinner and merriment. If you haven’t already told me you are planning on coming, please send me an email by thursday morning so I can give them a bit of a heads up. (Remember, dinner, drinks, and knitting is on you, entertainment is on us.)
What, you might ask, are we doing between the scheduled stops? Anything you like. This is the perfect chance to explore our wonderful downtown. Shop, visit the art galleries, sit on the grass and knit, walk and knit, talk and knit.
The shop will be open for our regular hours during KIP day. After all, we wouldn’t want anyone to have a knitting emergency and no source for that extra skein of yarn, or that one needle size you don’t have but the pattern requires. Becka and I will be going back and forth between the shop and KIP locations, so if you have any questions, feel free to drop by the shop or call, and one of us will be there with the details and last minute changes/additions.
In the meantime, get those KIP projects ready and we’ll see you on Saturday!
