I read the info, but I’m still unsure whether crocheting in public is also an acceptable action for WWKIPDay.

on the wwkip day pdf, it says that kip day is an inclusive event for fibre crafts. so it’s not just knitting!

To “angelune” -what’s wrong with crochet in public.. try it some time, it’s fun.
