Mossy Cottage Knits

What an excellent idea! I'll be knitting with you in spirit (it would be a long commute from Boston). Maybe other ball clubs will pick up on the promotion.

Oh man...I'm working that night. :(

Wow what a cool idea! I hope they have one ton o' knitters there and that Dulaan sees its name up in lights.

Ubah....ummm....ubahhaah......hmmmm. *ahem* I wanna go!!!! I wanna freakin' go! You guys get to have all the fun! Whine moan whine whine moan. That'll be all.

Well now that sounds like fun! I hope it does so well that it catches on everywhere. I've never been to a live baseball game (despite living 1 hour from the Astros)and to be able to hide behind my yarn as a safety blanket? Heck yeah! I should send you a little something to take with you so I can live vicariously through it. Maybe a teeny tiny teddy bear in Mariner colors. Gonna hafta think about this one.

Hey guys if your near Ms. Ryan you need to sign up and go to support the gang!

Hope everyone has a great day!

What a freaking kickass idea.

Ahem. Do you think my boss would buy it if I called in sick, and then she saw the game and put two and two together?? This is such a great idea!

Lorette: With all those knitting needles flying, and foul balls sailing around, don't you think we might *need* a doctor sitting with us! It would be a service to the knitting community. ;-) TMK

*de-lurks*
If I thought it was reasonable to tell my boss, "No, thank you" and make the drive up from Portland, I would so be there. Baseball? Knitting? Totally.

Ok, why do I keep seeing that people can't go when they have a month to plan for it? I'm so confused. Everyone noticed that it's in July right? Not next week? Ok. I'm done. Again. No really. I'll just hush now. Hee. :)

I'm going to try my darndest to be there. I'll talk to the hubby tonight and see if we can swing it. We'll have to pick up the kiddo and head over after work, but I'm thinking we'll probably be up for it.

One question, do you think you could handle a rambunctious four year old? I guess we will have yards and yards of yarn so if he does get to out of hand we can always just put it to work and tie him up ;)

I want to support such a great event!! Go M's!

We have 15 commitments so far for tickets, so if you are at all considering it, please let us know right away! At ten bucks it's a deal and a half! Rarely does one get a chance to see a baseball game amongst such fine people!

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE: there will be T-SHIRTS!!!! We can't forget those--all of those with the Dulaan knitters will be getting a FREE Stitch & Pitch shirt, compliments of the Mariners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUT WAIT, THERE'S STILL MORE!!!!!!! Because we have reserved a block of 40 seats, we get our name on the BIG SCREEN READERBOARD: the entire STADIUM will be clapping for the DULAAN PROJECT KNITTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There will be pictures for all of you who can't make it, but if you are at all in the area, or want to come, please do!

Damn, that's a FINE idea. Is the price of a plane ticket included in that $10 deal?

First the garden party and now this. I'm out of my ever lovin' midwest mind! If jealousy is a sin, I'm on the slippery slope! Still, I'm compelled to say, "Go Tribe!"

[whine]I wanna t-shirt![/whine] Would the Mariners consider selling t-shirts (proceeds to F.I.R.E. of other worthy charity of course) to those of us who can't fly across the country for a baseball game? I promise to wear it to the next Red Sox game I go to.

This is a great idea. I think Baseball and knitting go great together. Ever since I started knitted I ALWAYS take me knitting when we go to the Royals games (ok, so that has only been about 5 times). Hopefully this will spread to other teams.

I'm in! I'll be with the Purlygirls brood

LOL! I was telling my coworker about this and said, "And there are even going to be yarn vendors" and she started acting out someone climbing up and down the stands carring a big box of yarn strapped around their neck, calling out "Get your cashmere! Get your cashmere here!" When I finally stopped laughing, I thought, yeah, they should do that! Can't you see it? A twenty passed down the row, then a couple balls of Debbie Bliss Angora passed back. Everyone would get to feel the sweet fuzzy stuff. The colors would be so enticing. Men would tap women on the shoulder and ask, "So...how do you do that?"

Emailed you. Gotta see if I can get childcare. I am SO there! Where are the seats?

Jenn: This is a baseball game! The fuzzy pink Debbie Bliss would be thrown to the purchaser. ;-) TMK

Norma Dear, I've just about had it with all the NW folks having all the fun. I'll take the week off, drive up to you and "kidnap" you off to Washington state for a couple of days then mysteriously you'll return home with no memory of your ordeal or of your abductors. Anyone along the way wanna be "kidnapped" by the Stalker? I can rent a van. Or a bus. Just let me know.

I took knitting (or was it a book?) with me to a ballgame when I was in high school, and got chided by my mother for acting uninterested in the company I was with. (It was a church outing, and I think it must have been a book, actually.) But I've always thought a ballgame would be a great place to knit--provided you don't drink so much beer that you can't follow the stitch pattern. What a great idea, though!

Oh man. I'm on the WRONG COAST. Ptooie. THis is *such* a great idea and I'm wicked jealous. Have a great time.

Yes! We're soooo there! I've sent you my email request to get in on the action and my co-worker and I are already putting in the time off from work. Oh yeah, I guess the rest of the family will be coming too. :)

Well, clearly you didn't reserve enough tickets. You underestimate your salesmanship, Ryan! Stalker Angie, I'll take you up on that. I'll be on the side of the road with my bag packed.

Stalker Angie, I'm here in Houston, real close - could you swing by on your way to Norma and pick me up?

(I can just see your little bus criss-crossing all over the continent picking up knitters, all trying to get to Ryan... .)

*whinge* I wanna, I wanna! */whinge*

*sigh. I mean man. I am NEVER gonna get to hang with you guys.. and you do all the coolest stuff. I'm with norma, stalkerangie, I'll be in south philly near the cheesesteaks. I'll have yarn in my bag and be ready to go.

I'm so excited! There was a little scare, involving no more tickets, but Ryan pulled through for me, and I get to go!!! No worries Stalker Angie. We'll all be talking about how funny you are and knitting up a storm. Just think...if you could come, notice there is not a word mentioned about....*gasp* crochet. You'd be forced to knit.

Now, Sam, don't be too quick to jump the gun. We will have one lovely, baseball-loving crocheter in our midst. Neener, neener.

Glad you'll be able to be there!

What a great idea! Have fun, y'all!

Wanna know a deep dark secret? I started my obsession with yarn, crocheting. Shhh....don't tell.

But knitting won me over to the dark side and I've never looked back. Believe me, I've got lots of love for crocheters too.

Can't wait!
