Crochet
diva Lily Chin, who co-chairs the National
NeedleArts Association, which organized the event,
showed up ready to set the record in a homemade Mets uniform
that she had knit herself, complete with a crocheted cap and
even a mitt made out of yarn.
"I thought this was a great team effort,"
said Chin, "because baseball is a team sport. I thought it
was brilliant."
Every season, Major League Baseball
(MLB) and The National Needlearts Association (TNNA) hold
Stitch N’ Pitch events.
Fans sit together in a special section, work
on their crochet, cross-stitch, embroidery, knitting or needlepoint
projects, cheer on their favorite team, and celebrate the
needlearts.
