knitting

What’s a stitch-n-pitch? Well, if you’re like me, it’s your idea of heaven! Yes, I’m a baseball fan, and I’m a knitter. Combine the two, and you get stitch-n-pitch, an event supporting needlearts at the baseball game!! Basically, the event urges stitchers of all sorts – knitters, crocheters, embroiderers, cross-stitchers, and needlepointers to bring their projects to the ball game. As the organizers say, “Sit among friends, family and colleagues and cheer on your favorite Baseball Team. Beginners, intermediate and experts are all welcome.”

Each major league ball team is sponsoring a day at their park for stitch-n-pitch, and this year, some minor league clubs are getting in on the action, too. For a complete schedule of teams hosting events, click here.

So, take your knitting out to the ball game! If you’re looking for a quick, simple pattern to take along with you, check out this Sparkly Sweatband that you can customize with your favorite team’s logo! Even if you don’t like baseball (gasp!), these wristbands will make the game fly along.

If you don’t like the wristbands, take along something simple, like a scarf, so you don’t have to worry about a complex pattern when the game heats up.
