Saturday 13th June 2009 was the World Wide Knit in Public Day.
Our local North East Yarn Lovers (NEVYL) Group on Ravelry.com, the internet site for knitters and crocheters organised a meet up to knit in public at the Benalla Art Gallery cafe.
Our local North East Yarn Lovers (NEVYL) Group on Ravelry.com, the internet site for knitters and crocheters organised a meet up to knit in public at the Benalla Art Gallery cafe.
We had about 30 folk gather and whilst myself and my family have been knitting in public 'forever', some are not so brave, and some have only just discovered the craft.
So, long live knitting, crochet and craft! They are creative. How do many of us deal with the destructive nature of the world and it's events? We do the opposite, we become more creative!
And if you haven't tried it you should. There is nothing more uplifting than Gathering. To meet at a Gathering with other like minded creative crafters is inspiring, encouraging, uplifting, and last but not least jolly good fun!
