World Wide Knit in Public Day

World Wide Knit in Public Day is June 13, 2009.

Last year I was busy with Niece #1's wedding, this year I'm hoping to soak up some sunshine somewhere and knit! What are YOUR plans?

Vest a la Brooklyn Tweed

Brooklyn Tweed just posted his newest pattern on his blog and I'm in love!

This one is definitely going to be knit soon. Now, which of the men in my life will be best suited? ;-)

Notions bag anyone?

Here's a great bag tutorial I ran across tonight thanks to the SewMamaSew blog. I NEED to make some of these soon!

And I think sock needles are tiny!

New Mugs!

I was down at the shop on Sunday for Sox Pistols and look what had just arrived!

I took mine to work today and found myself gazing at it and wishing I were back at the table knitting with everyone!

Friends

Have you ever noticed the cute little friends hiding in the shop, waiting to greet you?
