It's what ... WWKIP day?
It's actually world wide knit in public day ... well really weekend, where people all over the world come together to knit and chat.
I learnt about this from the lovely Bellsknits, who's travelled specifically from Canberra to Sydney to meet up with others and celebrate by knitting. I hope you're all having a wonderful day.
I'm not quite at that point-and anyway I didn't learn about this until a few days ago--but I still wanted to add my little bit to the world wide celebration by selecting my first knitting project for at least a decade.
The book I've made my choice from.
What I'm making will be a gift for Lloyd's granddaughter in the US, so I'm not going to actually post the pattern. I thought it would be nice for my first project to be something we take to the US with us ... it's always nice to give a gift you made yourself.
What's even nicer for me is that the pattern is a type I'm familiar with, I can find the wool in the larger department stores (which is good when we're leaving in only 7 weeks), and I love the colours in the range.
I just need to actually buy the wool and get started! LOL
