Knit in Public Day Recap
I’ve never met a Worldwide Knit in Public Day I didn’t like. For one, it affords me lots of opportunities to take fun pictures of my favorite thing, knitting.

Here’s a run-down of the action at Saturday’s Chicago meetup on Worldwide Knit in Public Day.

Announcing the Hands Occupied Pattern Shop! (+ a giveaway!)

Knit in Public Day Meetup in Chicago!
Saturday, June 13 is Worldwide Knit in Public Day, and I’m finally realizing my dream of hosting an event in honor of the day. Since I’m a Chicago resident, it makes sense to host the event here, and I’ve invited my knitting group to join in the fun.
