13th Annual Mariners Stitch n Pitch

On July 20th, I joined the America’s Knitting contingent at the 13th annual Mariners Stitch n Pitch night to cheer on the Seattle Mariners. A plan formed when I was still in Ireland to meet up and when the event proved to coincide with my visit to Seattle, Mary and I leapt at the chance to meet in person after years of online friendship. So, there we were finally meeting at the 13th annual Mariners Stitch N Pitch Night.

The evening flew by and was delightful. I also spent time with my friend-of-a-friend Margot and her knitting friends. I am sharing all the photos here so you can get a feel for the event. I had no idea what to expect and it far exceeded what I could have imagined.

I took the light rail to the stadium all by myself (no kids!)

In spite of not being asked “Are we there yet?” every two minutes, I arrived promptly and safely.

The top concourse was adorned with yarn shops which had set up booths for our perusal and temptation. I bought TWO things! One for me, and one for a birthday gift. Where else can you shop for yarn while admiring the Seattle skyline and bay?
