On Saturday, June 13, the Castoffs participated in World Wide Knit in Public Day. We met with other knitters in
Kalispell knitters at the Farmer's Market
Kalispell at five different venues around town – Colter Coffee on Main Street, the Farmer’s Market at Kalispell Center Mall, historic Conrad Mansion, Flathead County Library, and North Bay Grill. We had a wonderful time talking to other knitters from around town and to the curious who stopped to chat or merely gaze at us.
On the far left in the first photo is one of the Castoffs, Marylane, who also co-organized the event in Kalispell. Knitting next to her is her sister, Joan. In the library photo, a knitter from out of town stopped by to comment on the fun we were having and to tell us that she wished that she could join us. We had several knitters who saw the announcement of WWKIPD and came with us from venue to venue. We are already looking forward to next year.

Marcia,
I actually got to the site without signing up for facebook. I had some difficulty and came up with two interesting sites that had “castoffs” in them. One wanted me to “clone the homeless” and the other wanted me to have “castoffs from my world of suffering”. Think the site is great. I feel like a celebrity.
Joan (Marylane’s sister)
Thanks and I’m glad you found us, especially since you are considered one of us! Hmmmm, clone the homeless? Don’t we have enough now? Hope to see you on Friday.
Marsha
Marsha, I love our knitting blog. See you Wednesday at Michelle’s
Sorry I didn’t have a photo of you at your house! See ya Wednesday.
