ABOUT KNIT IN PUBLIC DAY ~ Danielle Landes knew that knitting was historically a community pastime that became a solitary activity. She launched World Wide Knit in Public Day in 2005 as a local event ‒ It attracted knitters from 25 localities. Her idea spread each year and has since become a global phenomenon! 1125 venues in 54 countries participated in 2017. Astrid Salling, of Copenhagen, Denmark, has organized WWKiP Day in June each year since 2011.
Fantastic Fibers Miami has hosted this event locally since 2016, bringing together diverse people from across South Florida. This specific day is designated as a great way to get your yarn, get out of your house with and connect with others like you. In Florida, we will Knit In Public in the air conditioned comfort of the mall.
Knit, crochet, embroider, weave ‒ it is all about the threads of connectivity! See you there!
Field trip! This month we are marching out to the Lowe Art Museum on the UM campus to tour the collections and current exhibition, Antellian Visions: Maps and the Making of the Caribbean. We are sure to be inspired by the vast works at the Lowe. Please join us!

Join us January 26 for an evening of artsy fun as we transform the white pillars into a colorful series of art
installations in knitted and crochet cloth created by FFM members Dana, Morgan, and Pamela, and the MOCA Teens. Hats off to Morgan for her tireless coordination of this project.
FFM members’ Artist Books will be on view in the Pavillion Gallery exhibition, Fresh Threads, along with works in fiber by the teens, curated by Gregory Louis-Pierre.
The Museum of Contemporary Art is located at 770 NE 125th Street, North Miami. Plenty of free parking.
Fantastic Fibers Miami met in November to finalize the plans for our yarn bombing (YB) event scheduled at MOCA on Friday night, January 26, 2018.
This project ties together our Artist Books – which are awesome and amazing – with MOCA’s after school program for kids and is coordinated by our very own incredible Morgan. Thank You Morgan!
Between now and end of January, we will be working with Morgan and the kids to get them involved in the many facets of fiber arts.
We will teach them to knit and crochet so they can contribute work to the YB on Jan 26.
We will also do pages for artist books with the kids so they can create their own mixed media fiber art pages for their own artist books.
Our artist books and theirs will be displayed in the MOCA Pavilion on January 26 when we YB the pillars.
We have a schedule for working with Morgan and the kids from 3:30 – 5:30 on MWF in December as follows:
Dec 11 Susan Dec 13 Pamela Dec 15 Dana
Dec 18 Susan Dec 20 Pamela Dec 22 Dana
January dates are open and we need committed volunteers: Jan 8, 10, 12 //Jan *17, 19 // Jan 22, 24 (*no kids on the 15th – MLK day)
January 26 is the YB event in conjunction with Jazz at MOCA featuring Troy Roberts on sax – so there will be live music with Troy Roberts on sax and a crowd! YAY!
Please be at MOCA on the 26th at 3:30 to get ready to YB with the kids.
The pillars are quite large so if you or anyone you know can knit or crochet panels to contribute or long scarf-like items to wrap, we will be most grateful. Please let me know! Thank you!
