World Wide Knit in Public Day takes place in June and Baa Baa Brighouse is planning to host an event. The celebration began in 2005 as a way for knitters to come together and enjoy each other's company. Knitting can be such a solitary act but this is a specific day to meet like-minded people, share projects, knowledge and talk about fibre arts together. In the past, some people have used this event to highlight to the general public that knitting is not just for grannies, it is for everyone - a community activity. In 2005 there were about 25 events hosted around the world, rising to over 750 by 2009. The event takes place from the second Saturday to the third Sunday of June each year, making it a week long celebration of knitting and other fibre arts. This year's dates are June 14 to June 22, 2014. It is likely that the event will...

Plans are afoot at Baa Baa Brighouse for a regular Knit and Natter event. At present, I am in talks with staff at Rastrick Library, Crowtrees Lane, Rastrick as a possible weekly Saturday morning venue. The sessions will provide the opportunity to meet up with like-minded knitting and crochet enthusiasts, discuss projects, get help with a difficult stitch and share both knowledge and passion for the craft. So, if you fancy a cuppa and a slice of cake, a knit and a natter with friendly crafters, check back at Baa Baa Brighouse regularly for updates. I'll keep you posted once the finer details have been arranged.
