Stitch n Pitch

The Hagerstown Suns baseball team generously raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness of Cumberland Valley one weekend a season. When Joel, the marketing manager, asked Y2Knit if we would like to participate in a weekend of baseball/fundraising in the manner of the Stitch n Pitch, we were thrilled. We'd tried to pull it off last year, but didn't get there. I enjoy a baseball game and think knitting and watching baseball is a great way to spend an evening.

The initial idea was that Y2Knit might donate a bag to raffle, but the Social Knitters had more ambitious ideas. Knitters have generously volunteered to knit two throws for a raffle at the May 11 Hagerstown Suns games. One will be in the Suns orange, black and white and another in pinks to honor Breast Cancer Awareness, the beneficiary of the raffle proceeds.

The squares are being turned in over the next couple of weeks and I hope to get Frankie to help put them together. She may have to crochet around the edges of some as they are a tad bit smaller.

Kraemer Yarns has generously donated the yarn for this project--their new worsted weight Tatamy Tweed.
