Coincidentally, I started knitting in the summer of 1985 at the same time I became a fan of baseball. For these socks, I used the colour of my favourite team but reversed the main and contrast colours in the two socks to represent home and away uniforms. The words on the soles are just a taste of baseball vocabulary arranged as a cheerleader’s chant. I highlighted the first letter of each word to look like lacing on a baseball. –
