On our visit last week, Jersey Boy tried on the red Mock Croc socks and found that they fit him just right. Wow, these kids grow wicked fast. Those were a women's adult medium (size 7-9 shoe probably). He requested socks in his favorite color, blue. Of course there was lots of blue to choose from at MD Sheep and Wool. Here's sock 1, which I finished Sunday:
This is a mostly-blue-with-just-a-bit-of-green hank of Tess's Designer Yarns Supersock and Baby. The pattern is a modified
Thuja with a 56 st CO and a 7 1/2 inch leg.Here's sock 2 at the ballpark for
Stitch 'n Pitch last night:
I went with Mom and Nancy from work. I had never been to RFK before to see any of the sports that have been played there over the years. I'm more of a armchair fan, and even then, not a very dedicated one. As advertised, there was stitchin, as demonstrated by Nancy (sorry for the bad photo Nancy!):
...and there was pitchin:
and a surprisingly good view of a 2-1 victory over Atlanta. Boy do those Nats fans *hate*
John Smoltz (a bit of googling revealed
one possible reason). Oh oh oh! There was swag too:
A totebag, patterns, needles, yarn and a copy of the ultimate
yarny travel guide. Totally worth the price of admission if you ask me.

Looks like Stitch n' Pitch was a blast! The sock looks great. I've never had the pleasure of knitting with Tess yarns. But now I sure am motivated to order some for myself!
cool stitch and pitch . . . socks looks cute . . . havent' done any socks . . . I think the small needles make me too nervous to knit
