I’m your host, Andrew McGivern, for June 14th.Yes, today is Knit in Public Day, a delightful reminder that knitting—or crocheting or stitching—isn’t just a cozy pastime to be hidden away inside. It’s a chance to share creativity, spark conversations, and maybe even make a friend over a skein of yarn.Whether you're on a park bench, café patio, on a transit ride, or at the local brewery, knitting in public is all about connecting through craft. Which brings us to todays quote of the day, from Albert Einstein, who once said:“Creativity is contagious—pass it on.” Einstein wasn’t literally talking about knitting needles, but the sentiment couldn’t be more fitting today. When you knit in public, your creativity becomes contagious. A curious passerby might ask, “What are you making?” before you know it, they’re marveling at your work—and maybe even picking up a pair of needles themselves. It’s in those small interactions—teaching someone a stitch, swapping yarn, or just sharing the soothing rhythm of your craft—that creativity spreads. And if you want proof that creativity day is contagious, well, yesterday was sewing machine day and today is knitting in public day. The sewing machine passed it on to the knitting needles.So today, whether you're a seasoned knitter or a curious newbie, find a public spot, set up your project, and let your creativity do the talking. You might inspire someone—maybe even start a stitch‑and‑chat revolution on your block. That's it for today, I'm Andrew McGivern, signing off for now. But I'll be back tomorrow, same pod time, same pod station with another Daily Quote.
