If I haven't mentioned it before, I am definitely the indoorsy type. I don't like sports or exercise, which perhaps can be traced back to 5th grade, when I was awarded a C+ in PE. Straight A's, and a C+. I pretty much refused to participate in soccer, which consisted of one ball and eighteen little sneakers, kicking. Just kicking. No rhyme, reason or aim, just kicking. I think I was rather smart to have avoided that. Anyway, Even though I don't like playing sports, or watching sports (except for the Olympics and Most Extreme Elimination Challenge), I am attending the Seattle Mariners Stitch n' Pitch tomorrow night. Hooray! Our seats are sooooo high up in the air that there is virtually no chance I will be rendered toothless by a stray ball. Shat upon by a gull, now that is a more realistic danger. But I can deal with that. I've been used as target practice by birds several times before (but that's another post). Anyway. It should be loads of fun, baseball game notwithstanding. I already decided on my project for the game - a simple stockinette hat, knit in the round from pink and orange washable yarn. I figured any project with dpns was a bad idea, because drop a needle in the bleachers and it's so long, sucker. A lace project wouldn't work, because (as the fine ladies of Lake Forest Park Knitters will attest) I can't knit tricky-style and chat at the same time. A fancy-yarn project is a bad idea, because of the aforementioned gull fallout and inevitable ketchup shrapnel. So, I've got the hat on the needles, and it's ready to go. I was considering making one of those cool signs I've seen sports fans waving from the stands, saying something like "Zimmerman 3:16" or "I've got your wind-up right here!" or "knit knit purl, you swing like a girl!" but I am all out of posterboard. For all you Seattleites who are going, I'll see you there! I'll be the one with the pink and orange hat.
