Is there one for crocheters too?

Hi, I assume you are writing in reference to the World Wide Knit in Public Day. There are no knitting police, so you can bring whatever project you want, but it is a knitting themed event. I hope you can make it!

************************************


Here is the info for WWKIP NYC!




Saturday, June 10
Central Park - East Green (small enough area to easily find a large group of knitters)
1pm - 5pm


Pack a picnic and bring a 'soccer mom' chair! (Knitting in a chair is much more comfortable than sitting on the ground and knitting)


Directions:


Central Park - East Green


If you walk in from East 72nd Street, you will see a sign that says "East Green" and a walk way between it and the childrens playground. Walk down that path and just past the playground you will see us knitting on the right.


If you walk in from East 69th Street, you will see a white flag pole. That green space there is the East Green. Follow the pathway north to the children's playground, just before you come to it you should see knitters sitting to your left.


If you are walking from the westside, aim for the bandshell (near Bethesda Fountain). Walk the path along the southern side of the bandshell, it will take you behind the audience end of Summerstage. You should be able to see cars driving along the 72nd st. drive. That green space just past it is the East Green. Cross 72nd drive at the end of the path and you should be able to see the childrens playground. That's us knitting!

Thank you for your input jpr54
so I assume, as it's a knitting event, we should have one for crochet too, as purplepeaches says.
I think I'll try to set up one, as soon as my internet connection returns :(
I'm writing from my office, and should the boss catch me :blush

what a great way to show "regular" people how popular needlearts are and to spend the day among others that enjoy it as much as we do...a dream come true

I crochet in public frequently, especially when I bring my kids to the playground. But I think a day specifically for crochet would be a great idea!

[Rena Tyrantina]

It is a great idea and I'll be doing my part by crocheting at the airport and on a plane on June 10th!!

I crochet every time I am at the beach or pool, so I will make sure I am at a public place that day with yarn in hand (and a hook also).

I think having a world-wide knitting and crocheting day is a great Idea!

I crochet in public almost every day when I'm in the train, comuting, but for this day I'll try to gather some friends and held a crochet lesson in a tea shop or in a public garden :hook
