To celebrate this extra day on 29th February, Stitchlinks members have declared it a World Knitting and Crafting Day. With members in 11 different countries, word is spreading fast - so they want to see how many knitters, stitchers and crafters can link up world wide.
Their aim is to encourage as many people as possible to take time out for themselves. To indulge in some special time without feeling guilty that you have to be somewhere else or doing something else – after all it is an extra day! They’d like to encourage groups to meet up and invite anyone you know who might be lonely or isolated to join in. If you can’t get time off work then why not hold a lunchtime group to get to know new colleagues there?
Stitchlinks has a special 29th February Forum up and running, and open for everyone. So please leave a comment of support, discuss your ideas for the 29th, and on the day itself get together to chat across the globe. Make 29th February a day to kick-start putting a little fun back into everyday life! Let’s see how many people can be inspired!
For more information please contact Betsan Corkhill here.
Crumbs, I think I'll be able to join in on this one. I've just found a part knitted purple mohair jumper from over 20 years ago lurking in the wardrobe in my study! I can't even remember starting it, but this looks to be the excuse I need for getting going with it again...

Hi Jess - I've joined in, blogged about it and linked to you here. Hope that's OK and have a great weekend!
Are you still interested in some Autumn Bliss respberries - I've kept some of the canes just in case rather than cutting everything back.
