On , join hundreds of your fellow knitters (and crocheter's!) for an evening of Dodger's baseball, Dodger Dogs and beer, and stitching in the stands. The third annual STITCH 'N PITCH is a joint promotion between Major League Baseball and the National Needle Arts Association, the trade groups for their respective industries. This is a really fun event that many SSKG members have attended for the last 2 years and look forward to as the beginning of Summer Knitting. Bring a spouse, child or buddy, your knitting and join us in a special reserved section of the stands at Dodger Stadium to watch the Dodgers beat the Colorado Rockies. Tickets are available by contacting Suellen H, by clicking on this link to the STITCH 'N PITCH website, or by contacting the following yarn shops which are selling tickets directly. Some shops, such as UNWIND, are providing bus transportation and holding pre-game events at their shops.
