WORLD WIDE KNIT IN PUBLIC DAY

Join the Gates Avenue Knitters at the Long Hill Township Public Library on June 11, 2011 from 1:00 - 3:00 pm in celebration of World Wide Knit in Public Day (WWKIP Day).
This event was begun in 2005 and provides a day for knitters to come together and enjoy their craft as well as each other's company. It is also an opportunity to demonstrate that knitting has become more mainstream than in your granny's day.

For this rain or shine event the knitters will gather on the plaza just outside the library entrance. If the weather doesn't cooperate, the knitters will move inside to the atrium between the Library and Town Hall. So please join us for WWKIP Day! Bring your knitting or crochet project and a chair.

Pictured above is a group of knitters from the 2009 WWKIP Day.
