Thank you for making World Wide Knit in Public Day worthwhile!
I hope everyone had a wonderful time because it was a blast! Great vendors, excellent demonstrations and classes - lots of new folks at the event too. If you ever doubt that fiber builds a community, you've never been to a second Saturday at the Hoover Library. Shout out to Helen, Janice, Ali, Terri and many more for pulling together on the day of the event. Looking forward to many more.
    
Please consider joining the Greater Birmingham Fiber Guild which meets prior to the Purl on the Plaza, 2nd Saturday of each month.  They have fabulous workshops and demonstrations!  They meet from 10 am to 2 pm at the Hoover Church of Christ, 3248 Lorna Road, Birmingham, Alabama 35216 (map).  Dues are just $25/year.  Check out their blog here.
