Ward on the Street: Stitch n' Pitch
I have the internal thermostat of a Chihuahua.
The last time I went to a Dodgers game, I spent most of the night trying to mentally and physically withstand the chill of Chavez Ravine. There’s, like, one freezing, misty gully in all of Los Angeles, and they had to build the stadium there. Really, guys?
That night, my sundress was as useful as cardigan in a snowstorm and all I wanted was a blanket and another pretzel. Baseball and $10 beers have a place in my heart, but after enduring three goosebumpy innings in stoic anguish, I wanted to stand up and shriek: “I am so freezing and I am very, very bored!”
But I think I found my fix: the annual knitters’ night called, appropriately, “Stitch 'n Pitch.” Apparently, a crew of “needle arts” people who share both my appreciation for blankets and my compulsive need to multitask take over a section of seats and get down to the business of making stuff. These are my people.
On June 2, you hot knitter girls (and dudes?) can head over to Dodgers Stadium with those aluminum shivs you call knitting needles and productively purl your way through as many strikes as it takes to defeat the Colorado Rockies.
And no, I don’t know how to knit. But it’s good to know that if I get cold I can offer some chick a $20 to make me a poncho.
See you in the bleachers,
Ward
