Stitch n' Pitch?

So I was at work the other day and my friend Amy (vintagescrapsandrags ) and I were talking about knitting (what else really?)..... It truly was a great day... The new Inter-Weave Knits had just come out...Seriously knitters porn if truth be told, but anyway.... So here we are talking about the new patterns and articles and such... then a thought hits me...We were talking about the designers as if they were sports all-stars or something...
"Hey did you see that new sock pattern from Ann Budd?" or
"Check out the complex simplicity of Veronik Avery?"
They truely are all-stars in my book... I mean Veronik Avery hits a grand slam like every time she creats something anything!
And Please people don't even get me started on Ann Budd and Norah Gaughn AMAZING!!!! For me they are every day house hold names. I hope that I am not the only one.
It's crazy that a "craft" has turned into a super power. I was looking somewhere (I really don't remember) and I saw something called a "Stitch n' Pitch" stitchnpitch.com where you go to a baseball game and knit! It's huge!
I wonder if your grandmother while knitting your baby booties every thought that one day you would be talking about designers like they were players or even being part of a stitch n' pitch...


Let me know what you think...
