We started off the morning with knitting until around 10:00, when we left for Downtown Apex to go to a store called Downtown Knits. The store had a lot of awesome knitting supplies, as well as a nice lounge area in the back where we all sat and knitted for around an hour. While we were knitting, the lady who owned the store came and talked to us. She told us that the reason she opened the store was so that people could do exactly what we were doing – sit in the back and knit – and that the store part was only a way to make money to sustain her business. I thought it was awesome how she was so committed to and passionate about knitting that she dedicated that much of her life to giving people a place to knit in peace. She also informed us that June 10 is National Knitting in Public Day!
after a relaxing hour of lounging in her store we headed to lunch at Anna’s Pizzeria which had amazing pizza slices! once we were full we all decided to walk around the quaint shops in downtown Apex before driving back to CA to knit for the rest of the afternoon.
