Stitch N' Pitch!

Doris, Dinger & Jude

Take Me Out To The Ballgame!

The Stockinettes had a great time at Raley Field for Stitch N' Pitch on May 5, 2010. Many Stockinettes and even husbands were there to cheer on the Sacramento River Cats.

This wonderful event by TNNA (The National Needle Arts Association) is a fun way of combining two great American past times, baseball and the needle arts.

Fun Times At The Ball Park!

Nina, Beth & Cindi

"Yes, we are ready for some baseball!"

"Bring on the fun and the knitting!"

The Stockinettes Section

Yes, there was knitting!

The Stockinettes were greeted at the Raley Field gate by our very own Lorna Miser. Lorna presented special Stitch N' Pitch seat cushions and goodie bags to ticket holders who purchased through the Stitch N' Pitch event.

All in all, it was a fun evening...even though the River Cats lost.

Happy Mother's Day!

"Double the Fun" Knitting Pals

Double Knitting is Double the Fun!

Have you ever tried "Double Knitting"?

The Stockinettes had a chance to learn this fun technique at the April Tuesday Night Program. Stockinette Sandi Benward taught the program. Sandi's teaching style made the class informative as well as "double the fun" for all the Stockinettes in attendance!

Double Knitting Program

Taught by Sandi Benward

It was standing room only for this Tuesday Night program. Many Stockinettes were eager to learn this fun technique.

The Program proved to be so popular that Sandi even started up a Knit Along on the Stockinettes Yahoo group. She is providing help and support to help everyone finish up some fun "double knit" projects!

Have any questions...just email Sandi!
