World-Wide Knit In Public Day

WWKIPD happened today in Christchurch. I learnt to knit over Queen's Birthday weekend, and was quite excited to see that this was happening. On my way to uni, I stopped off at the Dux to join the knitters. My people.

I was the only guy there. Well, there was a 7yr old named Alex Foote. He was my competition in the Most Improved Kniter category. I had to go before this was announced, but I saw him eyeing me up, nervously.

There were lots of nice people there. Women were drinking mulled wine. It seems one can knit just about anything. As the 'token guy', my picture was taken for this knitting blog.
