sophy's knits, notes, etc.

at last, the night of knitting in the ballpark was upon us. it was really only the second stitch 'n pitch we attended; having missed last year's event. you can also read about our first SF Giant's stitch 'n pitch here.

you've probably already read hilary's account of the evening; here's the evening from my POV:

my knitting accomplices: erica, brenda, and hilary.

the night began with some confusion about where to meet up and the realization that none of us had brenda's number. quickly remedied the moment we gathered altogether. thankfully, we had some better seats this time, a good 10 rows away from the top. it was a pretty humid evening and i think i spent more time watching the fog roll in then paying attention to the game. i think the fog in this city is amazing.

after a startlingly brief amount of time, the game ended, and i lifted my head out of the sand (it would seem) to do some knitspotting:

a lady wearing a teal colored koolhas, with matching scarf
and fetching mitts. (hilary has a slightly better shot.)

once we were out of the ballpark, we all needed to make a pit stop; my office was closest. i do a lot of work there, honest; don't pay too close attention to the animatronic pony, the blue arrows in the background laying out the path of the minibike racetrack, the stuffed sheep, or tutu hanging from the coat rack. i don't know how they got there. really.

erica tells us how her boss won't buy her an animatronic pony.

so, of course, now you're probably wondering what we knitted that night. to be honest, not much was actually completed. erica worked on her betty minisweater. brenda worked on her february lady sweater. hilary worked on a pair of tiny shoes. (this made me realize i still haven't blogged about mine). and me?

well, i started a herringbone hat using magic loop only to realize that there are some patterns that are just not meant to be knit with magic loop. and after a few rows, i realized i'd lost just as many stitches. so, the next day i frogged it and started over only to frog it again cause i didn't like the joining seams. so, no herringbone hat for me.

happy knitting!
