In 2005 Danielle Landes started World Wide Knit in Public Day. It began as a way for knitters to come together and enjoy their passion of knitting whilst also enjoying the company of others.  It's now become the largest knitter run event in the world and will be held this year on Saturday June 13th.

Hook & Hop are holding a KIP (knit in public) event at Melbourne Central (L2, 300 La Trobe St, in front of Plantation) from 10am to 4pm. So if you'd like to spend some time with other like-minded knitters and crocheters making beanies and scarves for people in need in your community, grab your yarn, needles and hooks and join in.  They're even holding classes (11am-12noon crochet and 1-2pm knitting) for a gold coin donation and all proceeds will go to KOGO (knit one give one).

For other KIP events around Australia - check out this list on the World Wide Knit in Public Day website and HAPPY KNITTING!

    My passion is with knitting yarn ... more like an addiction really. Any knitters in the audience will be nodding their heads and thinking about the cupboards in their home, bursting with all sorts of wonderful textures and colours, yes I'm one of those. I decided rather than fight my addiction I could continue with my indulgence of purchasing yarn, but then pass it on to other like-minded, online buyers.
