Stitch & Pitch night is coming! The local Portland Beavers are having their last Stitch & Pitch event; the team is moving after this year.
We go way back with the Beavers. DH worked for them in the 1980’s. I used to sit behind home plate, knitting, knowing that the cage would save me from foul balls even though I wasn’t always paying attention. The Beavs were the Phillies AAA farm team back then; now they’re part of the San Diego Padres organization. DH went on to work for the NY Mets in 1986, a glorious year in which he earned a World Series ring. (I wish it were here for a picture, but it’s in the bank box. Sorry.) Talk about good timing.
My god-daughter is coming to visit from Seattle. She’s a big baseball fan at age 8, and she’s also a knitter! We’ll have a great time. What should I knit? Passiflora isn’t at a stage that would be good mindless knitting. I’m working on neck and shoulder shapings now. Here’s the back:
And the front is a little more demure. The shapings are the same, however, so it’s completely reversible.
Maybe I’ll start my Breezy Market Tote. I can sell the pattern beginning September 1, so it would be nice to have another sample around.
See you at the ball game?
Have fun at the Stitch ‘n Pitch.
We are HUGE Phillies fans! Didn’t get to a game this year — all games while we were in Phila. were sold out. BUGGER!

That is going to be such a cute top!
I had high hopes of going to that game! I was going to say next year, but I guess not. Do you know where the team is going? I don’t remember if Beaverton ever struck a deal. The tank looks fab by the way.
Passiflora is really looking great – so pretty!
Have fun at the game!
Awesome! I am going to my 1st SnP in a few weeks too. I’m not a baseball fan but I’m excited! Have fun.🙂
The sweater is looking good!
The sweater is SO gorgeous! What a great pattern, and you picked a perfect color!
Have fun at the game!
Oh, wow. That top is just lovely! You’re making me want to knit one.
