World Wide Knit in Public Day

  • Three Sheep 6010 Market Street Boardman, OH, 44512 United States (map)

World Wide Knit in Public Day (WWKIPD), which started in 2005, is celebrated on the second Saturday of June each year. It is the largest knitter-run event globally, with participation from at least 57 countries, such as Australia, China, Ireland, and South Africa.

The slogan for World Wide Knit in Public Day is "Better living through stitching together." The primary mission of WWKIPD is to connect knitters and demonstrate that knitting is a communal activity. It aims to raise awareness that knitting is not only a modern craft but also an art form that continues to thrive.

Bring your knitting, wear an item you've crafted, and spend a few hours enjoying the company of fellow knitters, both old friends and new. Every knitter will receive a gift, and there will be a special prize draw for participants.
