Stitch 'N Pitch

Wow! What a great idea!

I look forward to seeing what the broadcasters and camera people do with this. I had thought about going, but our plans got royally screwed up.

I really love this idea. We have the Somerset Patriots Minor league nearby and this would be a great idea to pass along to the stadium. They host a lot of local groups, so why not us crafters!!

Looks like it would have been a fun event. The broadcasters were respectful, but I would have liked more fan shots of the knitters.

And too bad they didn't do it at the Blue Jays game tonight, eh? ;-D (For those who don't know, it went 18 innings.)

Here is the Seattle Times article as well:

They got 1600 people through the knitting promotion - many more than expected.

Well said, Ranee!
