the blue blog archives: red sox pride day

I hope you're wearing red today because it's Red Sox Pride Day! All of Boston is celebrating the home opener today by wearing their Red Sox gear (or red) and donating money to the the Jimmy Fund's Rally Against Cancer. The boys' school participates every year, collecting donations in honor of two students with cancer. The kids all wear red and bring in a dollar each. (If you would like to contribute, you can donate to the kids' team here or directly to the Jimmy Fund here.) The boys went today in Ramirez and Ellsbury shirts and wee one is wearing not only her little pink Red Sox shirt but also her new red pants that I finished up just in time.

Pity us poor Cubs fans - it's now been 100 years of saying "next year." There are almost no fans left who were even alive last time they won the Series! I was just browsing Ravelry & found this photo of a pair of baby bell bottoms someone made from your pattern: http://tinyurl.com/5ndz9s Super cute! Thought you might like to see what you've inspired.

I love the red baby pants. And of course looking at pics of your girl wearing them. She is adorable. I am from the Pittsburgh Area, and so I root for the Pirates but intestingly enough I have a red shirt on for the day. Guess I can root for your team one day at least!
