As you can see, we had a great view of the entire stadium from our seats in View Level, Section 311, Row 18. (Apparently, there were other Stitch 'n Pitch-ers in Section 327.) Boy, was it cold up there. Cold and windy. (Though I would not admit it to Adam, who kept suggesting I bring a sweater...)
Now, some of you might know that I'm not the biggest baseball fan, heck, not really a big sports spectator at all, really. But, I wanted to go to this event with friends; and, we had a great time! Erica and I yelled when everyone else yelled. (Granted, our "yells" were more along the lines of 'Did you see what happened?' and 'Did we miss something?') We took note of applause (though didn't join in, since we were either eating our yummy garlic fries and grande nachos, knitting our scarf and knuck-fingers, or warming up our hands inside our small pockets). For the most part, we huddled close for warmth. We did get a momentary reprieve from the chill blasts of wind when everyone in front of us stood up during the 7th inning stretch/break... haha Thanks!
We did see plenty of people knitting at their seats and many more people wearing knitted garments that I mentally drooled over... I received a few comments for my lace-leaf scarf, which made me realize that I have yet to post a finished picture of that here... Erica was knitting a beautiful lace scarf. Hilary was finishing her baby yoga pants. Stephanie was winding up some very pretty and very tangled yarn.
Sadly, I only managed to finish a thumb and 2 fingers of my denim knucks before I decided my hands were too cold to continue. Erica and I left just before the 8th inning, I think. By then, it was much colder and windier than before. I was ready to go huddle in a blanket with a cup of tea and watch the couple of episodes of Enterprise on the DVR... Hilary and Stephanie, real Giants fans that they are, braved the cold and wind until the 11th inning. (You can read Hilary's Stitch 'n Pitch post!)
