We attended the very successful Stitch 'N Pitch night with the Mariners. Our major sponsor (Lantern Moon) from the Portland area, gave us a goodie bag that included a set of Latern Moon Circular needles, a silk bag, Knit Purl sock yarn, a knit magazine (from Yarn Garden), a hand woven reed knitting bag (super cool), a needle carrier, a knitting key chain, a LED flashing magnet pin, snacks, drinks and lots of wonderful association on the bus to and from the game. There were about 2,500 to 3,000 knitters in attendance and we received some very nice television coverage. In fact, Padishar Creel was interviewed because of being a male knitter. There were a few men scattered about our group but mostly non-knitting spouses. The President of Lantern Moon was knitting along with one of his male staff members.
I believe the Stitch 'N Pitch website will eventually post the television coverage we rec'd. I hope I represented the male knitters appropriately along with our wonderful knitting community in general.
