World Wide Knit in Public Day (WWKIP) in Charlotte

Yesterday, I actually had enough energy to go to the World Wide Knit in Public Day celebration at Books a Million in Cotswold Mall in Charlotte. It was fun! A lot of people came, and there were prizes given every half hour. Cool. :)

When I first got there, I took some photos of the group. In the first photo, you can see the table where I was getting set up in the lower right hand corner.


You can also see the representatives from the Charlotte Knitting Guild sitting outside on the patio in that photo.

Here's another shot of them:


Here are some more knitters inside the store:


When each person arrived, they would drop off skeins of yarn, and choose yarn for a trade.


After I got settled, one of the guild members gave me a slip of paper to sign up for the drawings, and I won in the very first drawing! :) I chose a large skein of sock yarn with a darning egg. I've been wanting a darning egg for a long time! This was my lucky day.


I had brought some of the Oddball Charity projects we've been working on, so that others could knit a row if they wanted. I worked on Oddball Shawls while I was there. Very relaxing.

One lady was kind enough to work a row on one of our large Oddball Blankets (#5). Her name was Amy...such a nice person.


Another sweet lady named Denise asked to work on one of our Oddball Baby Blankets. So nice! She knit over two inches!


There were a few other people that helped also, but I wasn't able to get their photo. Thank you all for your help on our charity projects!

While I was there, I received several skeins of yarn for our charity knitting. How wonderful!


I gave three skeins of yarn at the swap table, and got these three nice skeins of Lion Woolease in exchange. Yay! They will be perfect for a lapghan I'm making for myself right now!


I'm so glad I was able to go to the WWKIP Day. :D

Piano Recital and Beach Trip

I haven't done a lot of knitting lately, because I've been busy with a few other things. I did manage to knit a few rows each day, but nothing photo-worthy yet.

Here are my piano students that were able to attend our Spring recital this past weekend. They all did a wonderful job! (And yes....the adults are my students too!)


When the recital was over, my hubby and I packed up and spent a day at the beach! :)
