WWKIP Day


Yesterday was WWKIP - World Wide Knit In Public Day. Did you see anybody knitting while you were out yesterday? There's a big community of knitters out there. Thanks to Essie, we had at least one semi-organized group here in Chattanooga. We knitted in the morning at Niedlov's Bakery, then some moved to Greenlife Grocery for an afternoon session. There's a group that gets together to knit at Niedlov's most Saturday mornings. If you're not a knitter, maybe you should give it a try sometime.

As usual at this time of year, we're already moving into "beach mode". John's brought the Beach Boxes up from the garage (the stuff that goes every year, but doesn't need to be used the rest of the year). Margaret's accumulating some of the non-perishable stuff that's cheaper to get here. We try to keep from taking "stuff", but it does happen.

We do a book exchange, too. Everybody brings books to pass along. It's a great way to get "new" reads without spending any money. Usually, we wind up bringing any leftovers home with us - but I'm going to try to see that doesn't happen this year. We'll see how THAT goes.

Today's photo is from the WWKIP.

I think we should pack up the untaken books and send them to Jesse. I've heard that books are hot commodities amongst the deployed troops.

Sounds like a good idea to me!
