World Wide Knit In Public Day



Today is World Wide Knit In Public Day. So in honor of the day I spent part of the day at Four Seasons Mall in Greensboro knitting in public. We meet at the Central Fountain and knit. I was a little disappointed in the turn out I thought more people would show up for the event. I think maybe 20 people participated. I sat for awhile and knit off to the side of some of the knitter's. I am somewhat shy when it comes to meeting people. After a few people left I sat next to a very nice woman and since I did not write down her name I don't remember it of course. I am a little slow on the up take. After a few other ladies left one woman and her husband were left and the joined us and we knit and talked the woman's husband did I think needle point. A very nice couple they live in Burlington but they are moving to Greensboro in a few weeks. They had never heard of Asheboro which is not surprising to me since Asheboro is a dull and boring place to live and does not offer to many reason to visit. I spent my time knitting another dishcloth, one lady was knitting socks and another a head shawl for charity. I Hate I forgot their names and did not write them down. Well we left at 2:00 spent some time walking around the Mall and brought 2 candles at the Yankee Candle Shop they are having their semi annual sale and I brought 2 candles (fresh cut roses) I have 1 lite and it smells so good. It is hot hot hot and no rain so far today. I guess I will need to water my garden tomorrow if it does not rain tonight.

OH NO! You missed out on learning how to knit socks AND you would have remembered that ladys' name then. 2 birds with one stone!
