Hexipuff Madness - Week 36

This week, my Hexipuffs took a little trip to the Stitch and Pitch game at Citi Field. 

Spending time with my friends at the game was so much fun. 

The Mets didn't score at all, but I was able to knit 6 hexipuffs in total and get these souvenirs. 

I even posed with the iconic Jackie Robinson exhibit. 

And to add even more excitement to the day, I gave myself a New York Mets Manicure. 

Altogether, I knit 11 hexipuffs this week. 

This brings my total for the KAL to 168.  

I am 43.75% to my yearly goal, and 25.91% complete with the whole blanket. 

I still have 216 hexipuffs to complete in 105 days. Yikes!!!! 

My Stitch N' Pitch Review

First, let me say that I had many preconcieved notions about baseball, and thought it was a boring sport, and couldn't understand how and why so many people were into it. However, after Stitch N' Pitch, my feelings have changed.
This is the view from my seat. I sat next to Saunielle and very close to Chante and her son Jamal.

Here is an unsuspecting picture of Chante knitting her sock, and Jamal posing and smiling. Isn't he so adorable? Chante, I will say once again, that you are an excellent mother, and he is a wonderful child.

He even participated in the knitting festivities. Wow, I am impressed. He was so dedicated too!!Here is a picture of Jamal, Chante, and our fellow Sit N' Knit member Allena. She is wearing the gorgeous Limited Edition Sit N Knit /Stitch N Pitch T-shirt that I took too long to order, so now I am jealous that I don't have one. ( Jealous in a good way, of course)

Here is a Candid shot of Sit N' Knit organizer Anne-Marie and I, knitting and chatting away.

We were talking a bunch of nonsense at this time, so the facial gestures are a little wacky. But, nonetheless, whatever we were saying was hilarious. People on the train car were staring. I am not sure if they were really interested in what we were saying, or the fact that our lips and our needles were moving at top speed, and we did not make any mistakes.

Now for my thoughts on the game. I was pleasantly surprised that the time actually flew by. Baseball is so much slower on TV. I loved the little entertainment things that they did every time there was a break between innings. While I was watching the game, I explained a few things to Saunielle, and realized that I knew a lot more about baseball than I thought I knew.

So, in essence I had a lot of fun, and will be going to the next Mets vs. Braves game in September with one of my friends who is a die-hard Mets fan. He already warned me that I cannot bring my knitting. But, I don't listen to what men tell me to do, and I feel that if I am making a pair of gloves for him, as he kindly requested, then he will just have to deal with it. :-) More updates on that in about a month.
