Presented by Wise Daughters and That's Women's Work

June 12 is Worldwide Knit in Public Day and the Junction Square is being taking over to not only brazenly knit in public, but to try to break the Guinness World Record for most knitters in one place at one time!

Novices and experts alike are invited to bring a lawn chair, some needles and yarn, and to be part of history! There will be live entertainment, refreshments and prizes, as well as beginner knitting classes on the spot. The count for the world record will take place at 3 pm sharp.

Participants are encouraged to donate what they knit (that day, or anytime) to Streetknit.

Wise Daughters (3079B Dundas St. W.) is a drop-off point for donations of woollies, yarn and needles. Streetknit meets the last Tuesday of each month at the shop for an evening of knitting and chatting all year round.

Visit www.wisedaughters.com or www.thatswomenswork.com for more details.
