My lovely wife and I will be going to the Seattle Mariners Stitch 'N
Pitch night, Thursday July 26, 2007. We are going with a group from
Portland on a chartered bus and we are excited to participate with
fellow needlecrafters.
Has anybody been to a baseball Stitch 'N Pitch night before? Share
your experience if you have. I would love to hear what it was like
for you!

Padishar Creel. . .
I have been to THREE, two of them minor league, one major.
They're a BLAST.
Matter of fact the two minor league stitch n pitch's received more media
attention AND more needlecrafters than the White Sox one... the two minor
league ones were Fox Cities, Appleton WI, and Nashville TN...
The White Sox one had approximately 40 'stitchers' present, and NO media
attention, the Appleton and Nashvile games had TV, radio and BillBoard adverts
and attention, and drew over 300 stitchers!

--------------------------
We attended the very successful Stitch 'N Pitch night with the
Mariners. Our major sponsor (Lantern Moon) from the Portland area,
gave us a goodie bag that included a set of Latern Moon Circular
needles, a silk bag, Knit Purl sock yarn, a knit magazine (from Yarn
Garden), a hand woven reed knitting bag (super cool), a needle
carrier, a knitting key chain, a LED flashing magnet pin, snacks,
drinks and lots of wonderful association on the bus to and from the
game. There were about 2,500 to 3,000 knitters in attendance and we
received some very nice television coverage. In fact, Padishar Creel
was interviewed because of being a male knitter. There were a few men
scattered about our group but mostly non-knitting spouses. The
President of Lantern Moon was knitting along with one of his male
staff members.
I believe the Stitch 'N Pitch website will eventually post the
television coverage we rec'd. I hope I represented the male knitters
appropriately along with our wonderful knitting community in general.

Wow! That's a great haul - I'm very jealous.

That's just what I was thinking when I read it but even all those goodies
wouldn't persuade me to spend any time at a baseball game.
