Stitch ‘n’ Pitch

Sports ‘n’ Crafts

Wanna spend the evening at the Mariners game but just can’t bear to lose those precious productivity hours on that knitting, sewing, or quilting project you have at home? Head to tonight’s game and watch the M’s slaughter the A’s without losing a stitch of time finishing your nine-patch. Thanks to the Pacific Fabrics-sponsored third annual Stitch ‘n’ Pitch night, you won’t even have to shoulder ridicule from fellow game-goers for trading in your ball glove for a pair of knitting needles—in fact the first 3,000 fiber artists will get a Mariners Stitch ‘n’ Pitch Needle tote, presumably to store their needles in while they take their seventh-inning-stretch hot dog break. Sit with your group of up to 24 people in specially reserved sections 333, 334, or 335 behind home plate and receive a $6-per-seat discount for your multi-tasking madness. Then be sure to stroll up the 300-level third base line and check out the product, demonstration, and sales tables from over twenty local knitting and crafts shops.
