Congratulations on your 1000th hit, Brian Roberts!!!!  Good job :D

My 16th show, and we were 4th row.  It was an excellent show.  If anyone is a PJ fan, they were on fire.  I took my twin's oldest daughter to her first stadium show, and she really enjoyed it.  She was air guitaring the entire time.  In about 4 years I could take her younger sister.  PJ, I'm ready for 2012!  Hope to see you then :D 

Ohmymy this was a game from the first inning to the last.  No come from behind heroics which is good.  The Orioles should know that they are a team to command the play from the first inning.  I finally bought the gameday audio option, and it's really nerve-wracking to hear the crowd, and to sense the excitement.  I may switch to just the Gameday online thingy if I get too anxious.

 

 

Man, I was just WAITING for Brian Roberts to hit 4.  I was already thinking which Local Yarn Store I would visit on Monday to buy yarn for a project linus blanket.  Hopefully, he'll get four hits soon.  He can do it, you know he can.

I hope you can see the definition on these socks.  This is the first pair I finished with a pattern on the leg.  It's quite exciting!  My twin liked these socks as I was knitting them so she gets them.

 

4 double pointed #2 wood needles
Cast on 60 stitches
First 20 rows are K1P1K3P1
Next 100 rows are k2p2/k2p2/Purl/Purl for 4 rows
The cuff, heel flap, and heel turn are Rowan 4 ply soft Shade 367.
The leg, instep, and rest of foot are Regia bamboo color 1072
I think the mass produced wool yarns split more than other yarns.  The Rowan was still ok to work with, but I'm noticing that about Rowan and Karabella.

That's the second time I "saw" (through GameDay) Brian hit 3 hits in one game.  There could be more. 

When he hits 4 in one game I will knit a blanket for Project Linus.  I was going to knit socks for Socks for Soldiers, but the colors are restricted.  One of the best parts about knitting is the color of the yarn.  I would rather knit a bigger more time-consuming project with beautiful colors, then a quicker project with drab army colors.  Brian Roberts, just hit 4 and a child gets a hand made blanket!  I'm already thinking of a patterns for beautiful blankets in either deep green or purple or maybe orange for Orioles!  Some yarn is mult-colored, which is very cool, too.

I also saw a scarf donation site through Ravelry.com for cancer patients.  So many opportunities for donation knitting!  I don't know if that's good or bad  . . .

Brian Roberts hit a triple, but the only hit of 4 at bats.  However, that's a cool hit.  My twin was on the phone, and she was able to watch the game on TV, as I was plodding along on GameDay.  She said it was the closest hit you can hit before a homerun.  Similar to Adam Jones' double yesterday.  She said there was a little clip of him discussing maple bats, and he's pro nets it seems.

I finished another pair of socks!  I used a new cuff pattern:  k1 p1 k3 p1 for 20 rows in Rowan shade 374.  I found this cuff pattern in Knitting on the Road by Nancy Bush, the Conway sock pattern.  Then 100 rows of knitting with Regia Bamboo color 1072.  I knit the heel flap, heel turn, and gusset back on the Rowan because I didn't know if I had enough of the Regia Bamboo.  Knit and Stitch didn't have more than 2 skeins so it was time to try my hand at knitting with two yarns for a sock.  Back to the rest of the foot on the Regia.

Brian Roberts hit a homer!  Manny Ramirez got his 500th homer (you have to give props where props are due, eh?)

 

AND, my oldest uber-knitter sister sent me sock yarn!  Thanks, Theresa!  Life is good!  Time to break out the circular needles, baby :D
