Stitch and Pitch - LA Dodgers v. Mil Brewers

What a fun night. Baseball and knitting; well actually I was crocheting, Monica was knitting and Sue was Tunisian crocheting. Mat and Joe were just watching the game and we were all have a great time. There were so many stitchers I couldn't believe it. 3 sections of people doing their craft. What a great event. I can't wait to go next year.

Stitch Markers

I joined a swapping group and the first swap for me is stitch markers. I have made 3 sets. The photo is not that great and I need to choose which ones I want to send. I like them all. The blue set are on a jump ring and a earring attached. The kind you used for pierced ears. For crocheting I find these work the best. Just a jump ring works for knitting since you slip them on the needle, but when crocheting yu need to attach it to your work. I used to use the split rings that Lion brand made, but these are so much prettier!
