WWKIP Day is unique, in that it's the largest knitter run event in the world. Each local event is put together by a volunteer or a group if volunteers.WWKIP Day takes place from the second Saturday to the third Sunday of June each year; making it a week long celebration of knitting and other fiber arts.
Dates this year:
14th - 22nd June
I love their blurb!
Now begins the week that we would show that knitting is not just for old ladies at home on the couch - nay it is for everyone young and old, men and women and it's fun, it's creative and it's a great social act where you can share inspiration and ideas.
I hope that today and the next week will bring new relationships both across countries but also within the local community around each KiP.
This year, 45 countries with more than 600 kips. That is amazing!
Imagine all the people involved in this are connected - then the world becomes smaller and more fun.
There are so many health benefits of knitting and crochet that are always being publicised and although I tried to register my own craft meets on their website, they have been having some technical issues...
But there are two!!
This Thursday 19th June - The Caledonia 22 Caledonia Street, Liverpool, Merseyside, L7 7DX
Monday 23rd (a day late but so...) June - House, 25 Bold Street, Liverpool, L1 4DN
There's always so much positivity surrounding craft and with Etsy now having a TV commercial there is never a better time to join the craft revolution!
