Don't Eliminate Me, I'm Knitting!

Earlier this week we went to see a Giant's game, and my husband failed to mention that it was Stitch and Pitch Night! Actually, we were in the stadium for a while before I realized what was going on. It wasn't until they showed some knitters on the scoreboard screen, that I figured out what was happening.

So I didn't bring any knitting, but I'm not good at knitting in public anyway. I get too distracted by everything else that's going on. It was pretty interesting anyway though...


Also nearby was a woman who had knit her whole family matching hats...


I couldn't get a picture of the actual knitter, but she was was wearing a handknit scarf in Giant's colors as well. My pictures are really bad. Blame it on a couple of beers and low-light conditions--not a good combination.

I only saw one other knitter in my immediate vicinity--I think most of the knitters may have been concentrated in a special area. They showed a group knitting Giant's baseball gloves at one point. It was pretty funny.

My Snicket sock is progressing slowly. This pattern requires a lot of attention, but the result is very impressive. At least I think so!


The yarn is one I had never heard of before: Rio de la Plata. It is kettle-dyed in Uruguay. I love the subtle color variation you get in yarn dyed in this way.

My one annoyance with these socks is the needles. They are Addi DPNs, and they are just too long. It's makes for very awkward knitting, especially on such small needles. I don't have many smaller size DPNs, so I may have to invest in some if the sock knitting is going to continue!
