Baseball and knitting, anyone?

Stitch 'n Pitch with the NY Mets

Tuesday, September 13 at 7:10 pm

$18.00 for each designated Promenade Reserved Infield seat

Citi Field, Queens, NY

Christine -- the East Hanover and Parsippany crochet teacher -- and I are so there! 

From TNNA (The National NeedleArts Association www.tnna.org) Stitch ' N Pitch brings together two wonderful traditions — Baseball and the NeedleArts. Come to a ball game and knit, crochet, embroider, cross-stitch and needlepoint. Sit among friends, family and colleagues and cheer on the Mets! Beginners, intermediate and experts are all welcome. We will be at the Met's Citi Field Sept 13th.

I also friended the recently created <Stitch 'N Pitch, NY Mets> facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Stitch-N-Pitch-NY-Mets/162933147096319 I expect details will be posted there as they become available.

There will be an opportunity for charity knitting through Warm Up America (Craft Yarn Council - http://www.craftyarncouncil.com/?q=node/4 ) and yarnbombing.

Check out the July 20, 2011 blog entry on Close Knitters.  http://closeknityarns.blogspot.com/

Stop in at Close Knit located 300 Franklin Avenue in Wyckoff.  It's my go-to local yarn shop.  They have a well chosen selection of yarns, tools, project ideas and a knowledgeable staff.  

I recommend Happy Hour offered each Friday from 3 - 6 pm. It is open to all and there is no fee.  Make some new fiber friends.  See what's on their needles and get inspired.

Pantone Fall 2011

Don't get me wrong, I love the summer...but when there's multi-day air quality alerts with high humidity and temps above 90 degrees, I do look forward to a crisp, cool fall day with breathable air.

So, with that in mind, crank up the AC and take a look at the ten gorgeous, fashion forward colors for fall. Click on here and you'll go to the Pantone site with a listing of the Fall 2011 -- The Art of Color -- Sensible and Spirited.  You can also explore the page a 36 page fall fashion report and more. Click on downloadable pdf to the right above fall 2011.  I love the silhouette of the Adrienne Vittadini boucle sweater vest.
