Baseball and Knitting

At first glance, one may not think these two would be a compatible topic, but knitting and baseball go hand-in-hand (no pun intended).  While the boys practice their latest baseball techniques with Coach Greco, Coach Ed and Coach Nathan, Becca and I practice our latest knitting stitches.  She is knitting hair bun covers for her friends and I'm attempting to knit a blanket for an unsuspecting baby whom I'm sure I'll love and adore.  It was so pleasant to sit under the shade tree with  the perfect amount of breeze and visit with friends.  I thought, more than once, that I should have an ice cold lemonade near by and be snapping beans for supper, but those times seem long gone, so I will content myself with knitting during baseball practice and enjoying the companionship of my friends and daughter.
