Wwkipd

Saturday was wwkipd, which basically stands for world wide knit in public day. There were big get togethers and small gatherings of knitters doing what they do best out in view of the public. Now, normally I take something to work on pretty much everywhere. I especially love it when the bf drives, and we'll be in the car for a while, because I can get some more knitting time in. So, was I out knitting yesterday?

No!

I was hoping for lovely weather on Saturday. If it was nice out I planned on going down town, but I woke up to a drizzling rain that seemed to last all morning. I did not want to go out and sit in the rain to work on a pair of wool socks. Yuck. Of course, I completely missed some posts on Ravelry about where everyone was meeting should the weather turn out to be less than ideal knitting conditions. Blah. I could have gone!

As the day wore on, however, the weather cleared up. Heavy clouds passed occassionally and threatened rain, but it never happened. At about 2 p.m. I'd had enough of staying indoors, so I made the bf take me and the puppies out to the park. We grabbed some lunch, stopped at Panera for a plain bagel (for the dogs) and went to the park for a picnic and a walk. It was very pleasant and though I did knit in the car, I hardly count that as being within the public view.

So, that pretty much sums up my second annual world-wide-not-knitting-in-public-day-even-though-we-and-by-we-I-mean-I-should-have-been-knitting-in-public-day. There's always next year, right?

Happy knitting!
