My last experience with knitting at Nationals Stadium ended in me flipping off a stadium employee for taunting me for my "womanly" craft. This weekend the employees contained themselves as scads of knitters showed up for Stitch and Pitch, an event where knitting at the game is not only allowed, but encouraged.
I knit my way through maybe the most interesting game the Nationals have ever played. 11 innings, loaded bases, pinch hitters, walked batters, you name it. Yet, my sweater was still WAY more interesting: increasing at the side markers every three rows AT THE SAME TIME as adding the pocket linings. Take THAT baseball!
Julie and Devon avoided knitting by just politely holding the yarn I gave them...
Julie's feet got cold ,so I let her put them in my purse....after removing the yarn and knitting needles.
And the nationals didn't suck that badly despite the eventual loss. In other new, Lincoln won the President's Race. It was rigged, I tell you!
The only truly awkward moment was when they honored the troops, asking them to stand for applause. Some genius had decided to change the lyrics to the Cee Lo Green song to "Thank You" but of course none of us could hear the words and instead sat in horrified silence as CeeLo called his would be lover a gold digger.** Awwwwwkwarrrrrd....
In other news, I pulled out the Schwinn
I love this thing so much. I feel so regal cruising through traffic. I am thankful for having a mother who saved all her quality vintage awesomeness.
And saw the sights
Is that one tall, ugly building or what?
Happy Monday!
** So apparently the "Thank You" version of the Cee Lo song is a real thing. Still sounds crazy when you can't hear the lyrics.
