Yesterday was Stitch ‘n Pitch at Nationals Park. I headed over to the stadium after work and met up with Jessica and Liz and their men.
(Men not pictured)
Our seats were pretty high up.
Look, a knitter!
More knitters! That’s Orangina on the left. There actually weren’t as many knitters present as we were expecting. We seemed to be spread out among lots of unsuspecting non-knitters. Some made comments about being in the “knitting section.” We had them surrounded.
These are pretty much all the pictures I got in before my camera crapped out on me. So you’ll have to settle for my project pictures from Ravelry. I worked on my Leaf Paneled Sweater for a bit, and then my Palette scarf. The yarn for this scarf is some Spunky Eclectic corriedale I spun on the Hitchhiker. (Yes, we are getting along just fine now. More on that later).
Oh yea, baseball. The Nationals played the Texas Rangers for 14 innings, the longest game in the Nationals’ short history. And they won, 4-3! It was a very long game but it was neat to be part of it.

First day of spring! Wheeeee! Time to put away the heavy sweaters and start working on summer projects. I usually don’t go for knit tank tops and such, but there are a few summer tops I want to knit. I also really really want to finish all the piddly little projects I have yarn for. Scarves, hats, mittens and the like. So, I made a list of everything in my Ravelry queue that isn’t a sweater, socks, or an incredibly daunting and/or time-consuming lace shawl. Here it is…I’m going to be lazy and not link them all.
Tops:
Shawls:
-
-
Clementine lace shawlette from IK Spring 07
-
Loop shawl from Sensual Knits
-
Logan River wrap from IK Fall 07
Scarves:
-
Diamond leaf ascot from The Little Box of Scarves
-
Halcyon from Knitty
-
Feather and Fan scarf from The Little Box of Scarves
-
Misty Garden from Scarf Style
Mittens:
Hats:
Bags:
Other stuff:
My plan is to…brace yourselves…knit all of these by the end of the summer. 28 projects. Think I can do it? I’m starting at the top with the DROPS tunic. Here goes!
*Only if the yarn I already have works out with this pattern.
