Stitch-N-Pitch

I finally made it to Stitch-N-Pitch night at the SF Giants' home stadium, AT&T Park.  I've been wanting to go for years and never made it until just last week.  I went with an old high school friend of mine and some of my knitting buddies from work.

We each got a Giants themed knitting bag.  Not super big, but nice enough for a decent sized project.  I do wish it had had some way of closing, like a tie or zipper or something.  Funny thing though, this photo is of my friend Lara's bag because the other three we got had the decal upside down!  We didn't even notice until the game was nearly over.  Oh well, you can barely tell.

Plus it was really more about the experience, rather than the bag :)

Everyone had something they were working on, a doll blanket, a scarf.  I had a black and white dishcloth.  I wanted to do something Giants colored, but didn't happen to have any good ideas for my crappy orange yarn.  So I went with the black.  That's the nice thing about the Giants.  You can just wear (or knit) black and it's still team spirited.

Anyway, it was so fun to be surrounded by other knitters and kind of surreal to be sitting at the game knitting, instead of knitting on my couch while watching the game.  If you happen to hear of a stitch and pitch near your area and you enjoy baseball at all, I highly recommend it.  It's pretty cool.
