My friend Ruth and I met blogless Sue and Isel for a lovely evening of Knitting and Baseball. Yes, Stitch n Pitch came to Washington. This was my first time out to see the Nationals since they moved to Washington and changed their name from Expos. We used to catch the Expos farm team all the time for two bucks when I lived in Vermont. 
I am not much of a baseball fan but it was a pretty good game with almost being a no-hitter and then the Braves hit a home run -- it was pretty impressive.
The press didn't know what to make of us and were swarming the section. More than once we had a camera man ask if we could hold our knitting a little higher or could we look this way for a picture. We did make the blog of a writer who described his job as "writing about sports but not really, sort of weird things about sports and surely this counts." And as we were leaving, we spotted this...
LOL i love the idea of the wheel at a ballgame, but i would be seriously freaked out to have people stepping over it or trudging by it with their beers and nachos.

We saw that too! No idea.
I had a lot of fun...even with all the frogging going on. :D
It was cool.

I'm looking forward to the Stitch 'n Pitch here next month. Even if the Phillies don't win, I haven't been to the new ballpark yet, so that will be interesting ...

Which section were you in? We were kinda lonely in 517.

Sounds like fun-- I read about it in the paper.
