So I wasn't in Fredericton this year for my usual
WWKIP activities. I was in
Ottawa this year. Mr. Me is heavily politically involved and while I don't always agree with his politics, I do like some of the perks. A weekend in
Ottawa being one of those perks!I had hoped to be able to find a "knit in" in
Ottawa, so that I could celebrate the day with other knitters, but even though I put a reasonable amount of effort into the task on
Ravelry and searching the
WWKIP database, I didn't have any luck. However, I did still knit in public. Although technically, I would have to say that the public portion of my
Ottawa knitting adventure started the day before on
Parliament Hill...

And then on
WWKIP, my little friend
Purl and I went knitting together at a
Starbucks on
Sparks Street in the morning. You'll have to trust me about the location - I forgot to put the coffee cup in the picture.

And then to end the public knitting in
Ottawa on
WWKIP, my knitting and I went to
24 Sussex Drive. Yes - that really is me knitting in the sun room of the
Prime Minister of Canada's official residence!

What's that? Did I get a picture of
Mr. Harper holding my knitting? Why - yes! I did. Here's the hitch - the official photographer took it, so I am still waiting to get a copy of it... But I WILL be posting it as soon as I get it.

I think you win the WWKIPD prize!
Love seeing your post. Great photos. I'm looking forward to seeing Mr. Harper with your knitting although Camilla would have been even better. :)
