World Wide Knit in Public Day/24 Hour Relay

The weekend of June 13/14 was a fun filled and full weekend. Not only was it WWKIPD but I had a team participating in the 24 Hour Relay for the Kids. Here I am all dressed up in my team captains garb.



It was a beautiful day with sunshine and clouds so it wasn't too hot or windy. We had a great time walking, talking, and generally having fun. We raised $3,364.05 and ran 317 laps (126.8 KM). Mike and I had a Swing Dancing lesson that was tons of fun, but hard to dance on rubber. Also Mike was dressed in full Zoot Suit pants and was very hot, as in warm, as well as good looking baby. We did many activities throughout the relay and I laughed a lot. Mike and I both stayed up all night and I was very tired after, but it was so worth it.

While I was walking along the track I was knitting, as well as I was sitting around. People though I was crazy and weird, but I just explained that it was WWKIP Day. I also offered to teach them to knit but nobody took me up. A couple of people said that they crochet or knit but had never thought to bring it out places. I was very pleased with the reception.

I cast on the One Day Beret at the start of the relay, 10 am on Saturday. And finished it sometime before 10 am on Sunday. I'm not sure of the time cause, well, I had stayed up all night, and time lost all meaning. Here are my project details on Rav. I don't have any pictures of me knitting while walking cause my camera died.



PS. Next month I'm going to the Alpaca Farm near my house with the OK Knit and Crochet group so stay turned for details and pictures.

PPS. Have you seen this new online magazine? Petite Purls So cute!!
