Stitch n Pitch ~

Yes, another great Stitch n Pitch event!  So great to see lots of knitters and some of my very favorite people there, and, apparently there was a baseball game going on as well. Knit a bit on the Knitted Wit cowl too, so we are making progress.

Stitch 'n Pitch 2014 ~

Another great night at Seattle's Stitch 'n Pitch. Lots of yarn and new projects to see, and catching up on stories and adventures with the best friends, ever.

Plus, sharing some knitting tips with my new best fuzzy friend here, what a sweetie! Who knew he was a knitter too!

Here we are with a "wanna be" knitter behind us.  His comment, "I wanted to be a part of something important." 

Stitch n Pitch Fun ~

Another great Stitch 'n Pitch! I love this event and sharing it with my great friends. I look forward to this all year!

My kids and the neighborhood kids love it too - this year's theme, can you guess??!

Gotta love neon!!

Heels turning ~

While knitting with the chickens, I was able to make progress on these socks.  I turned both heels and felt very good to be working toward the cuffs.

This is the yarn that my daughter fell in love with at Stitch and Pitch last year. Not her usual bright neon colors, but very lovely. I think it would have made a beautiful shawl as well.

Home Team Treasure ~

Speaking of the Seattle Mariners Stitch and Pitch...where we first saw Jitteryknitters great and famous socks....well, each year we attend the Stitch and Pitch I get this crazy urge to buy the Hazel Knits sock yarn in the colorway, "Home Team" which are Mariners' colors, as Hazel Knits is one of our famous local yarns.  Well, I have never bought it, being a wee bit stronger than my crazy urge.... Meanwhile, last month Jitteryknitter inherits several bags of yarn and yarn magazines from a friend who has stopped knitting.  Look what is in one of the bags......

A very vintage skein of, yes, Home Team..... check out how cool the label is....so very vintage for Hazel Knits.....and being such a great friend, Jitteryknitter gave this skein to me!  Crazy urge has now become a happy dance!!

Finished Famous Socks ~

Remember this famous picture of our Jitteryknitter at our Seattle Mariners stitch and pitch? (yes, I knew you would remember...)

I love this picture and it proves to the world that she has actually knit socks, two of them...and she looks super happy about it!  This was several years ago... Last month she mentioned to me that the top cuff of one of these "famous" socks had unraveled, so I offered to fix them....after all, they are famous.......

So I did - and it was fun, as I had a finished sock in a very sort time... just ripped back an inch and started again.  The only difference from the other sock is that I did a stretchy bind off... but that won't show when the socks are on.  Now you can relax, as the famous socks can pose for pictures again!

Stitch 'n Pitch ~

Love the excuse to get together with fabulous knitters!  Even when our baseball team is not doing well, it is still great to meet at a game with other knitters and super delightful friends!

Throw some crazy kids of all ages into the mix, plus a yarn bombed glove (above) by our favorite yarn bomber, and you have a great night of friends, knitting and laughing.  Plus our team won the game!  How great is that! The only part that could have been better would be like last year, where we left the game and went to the Harry Potter midnight premier!! So, tonight I was hoping for extra innings so we could keep knitting into the night!!

Stitch 'n Pitch ~

We had a great night at Seattle's Stitch 'n Pitch. Although our team lost, we had lots of fun with lots of knitters, plus surprise visit from our nephew! He also came with us to the midnight showing of Harry Potter, so it was an exciting day for him, too!All the knitting projects were fun to check out - lots of lace and socks and blankets being knit in our section. Hey, check out the Track Star socks, next to the Track Star!!!Lots of shops and sales and inspiration along the walkways of the stadium.This is the first year I've made it to our Stitch 'n Pitch and it was great fun!
