So glad to see the date! I'm going to take part even if it means just
sitting on my balcony and knitting so my neighbours can see me. ;-))
I shan't be anydifferent from any day - I knit almost every day.

I don't think this has been heard of in England.

But if you tell two people and they each tell two people ... pretty soon
everyone in U.K. will be knitting in public on June 14th! ;-)

N ot enough time even if it went exponential.

:-)

Sure there is, with email, you can tell 2 people in seconds, then if
they tell 2 people within the hour, and those 4 people pass it along
within the next hour.... wouldn't take that long.

I think you will find it is an important day in the UK calendar Mary.
Here are a few of the listings of activities in England - if you
Google "wwkip day UK" it will turn up even more. I notice that Rowan
Yarns in Holmfirth are into this in a big way.

Of course they are, I know the important beekeeping dates but they're
not generally known :-)

Mary

Don't tell me you've taught the bees to knit as well!!! *;-D --

Now Bernadette , why didn`t I think of that ,,,,,,,,

Um, maybe you're not quite as mad as me yet Mirjam! ;-)

i loved working with
the Bees , in my time ....
My favorite was Banana Honey ,, but lately [ I am not working with them
anymore ], This AFTER ALL Being the LAND OF MILK AND HONEY ,,,,, my
favorite is Avocado Honey

I've never heard of that one before. Our best local ones are Heather or
Clover honey and they are delicious.

Of course. They have to have something to do when it's raining otherwise
they'll stay at home and, as my mentor said, make trouble as all women do
when they get in a huddle. The needles were tricky, they needed three
pairs each at a time.

Mary

Well, I've heard of spelling bees and sewing bees but not a knitting bee
until now - LOL.

Well, actually, I did email all my friends and family who knit. Only
one responded, though, and she doesn't knit anymore. Still, if you never
try you never get anything done. ;-)
