Remember BLKG is celebrating World Wide Knit in Public Day at our Knit in the Park meeting this coming Thursday, June 12, so be sure to grab a chair and come join us in Jackson Square Park across the street from our usual meeting site. (If it's rainy we'll be back in the regular spot so don't stay home if it's drizzling.) Also remember that Monroe Ave. is closed for repairs until October so plan your route around that.**Thursday would also be a great time to let Andy know that you want to learn how to Knit with Wire at the July meeting.
I've heard tell of more "sit & knit" opportunities around town:

(Info gleaned from the BCL Adult Events Calendar June-Aug 2014; link over and see what else they have for grownups. I'm signing up for the Adult Summer Reading Program. There's prizes!)
Here's another cool thing at the Pulaski Branch:
Mondays: Jun 2, Jul 7, Aug 4 5:00-6:00 pm
Make Friends with your eReader Library staff will guide you through downloading eBooks from OverDrive to your Kindle or Nook. All ages welcome!
(I know this has nothing whatsoever to do with knitting but I absolutely love downloading audiobooks to my Kindle and iPod to listen to while I knit so I thought this might be a way for you to knit and listen too if you have a Kindle or Nook. It's free, all you need is a library card, besides these programs represent your tax dollars at work, we should take advantage of them or we'll lose them. end of soapbox rant.)
