Put your hand upon my KIP, when you KIP, I KIP, we KIP
Did you knit in public over the weekend? I did!
First, I met with my friend Adrianna and local Springfield knitblogger Lana at Sequiota Park. I was a little disappointed that more people didn't show up (I had posted a sign for it in the local yarn shop) but maybe knitting outside in 90 degree weather didn't sound too pleasant to most people. =)
Actually, though, we found a spot in the shade and it was very pleasant. I worked a little on the blue Trekking sock and Lana was making a baby blanket for the Preemie Project. Lana's husband took picture for us, but mine turned out really dark - you can see a better photo on her blog here. I also got to meet Lana's three sons, who are adorable and amazingly well-behaved.
Luckily for me, the knitting day was not over! I went to see the Springfield Cardinals (a Double A team associated with the St. Louis Cardinals) later that night with the young adult group from my church. We had General Admission seating, so we spread out blankets and the grass and watched for fly balls! We were meeting early for some reason, so I brought my knitting to pass the time. While I was there, I finshing the first Trekking sock! I'm a little mad at it right now, since I had some *issues* starting the second sock (oops, I knit two rounds with the long tail instead of the yarn from the ball) so I will most likely have to rip that out. But maybe we will become friends again and I'll post a picture later.
PS to all Springfield-area knitters - want to have a Knit at the Ballpark night sometime?

It was great to meet you and Adrianna too! It would be fun to knit at the ballpark sometime too. Sunday I saw an older lady knit in the periodical section at the Library Center and thought that was a much nicer place to knit considering the summertime heat. She had her yarn and needles in a small plastic box which I think IS rather practical. I may have to try it. E-mail me if you have any plans to knit at the ball park!

I really wish I could have been there! Things were crazy on Saturday and apparently it just wasn't in the cards for me to be there. I did KIP at the park near our house while Owen played on the slides and I was with you in spirit!
Bryan would kill me if I said I didn't want to do the Cardinals game. I knitted at a Padres game right before we moved and it was fun even if I was by myself. As long as you don't mind the boys coming along, too, we're in!
