It’s my favorite time of the year – the start of baseball season!  It’s that magical time when, no matter how badly your team did last year, it’s a fresh start for everyone – new faces, new plays, new records to break – and for my fellow baseball knitters, a new Crackerjack to start!

Last year I wrote about my Mariners Crackerjack scarf – a very fun pattern that follows a baseball team through the year, adding a different stripe after every game, depending on whether they won or loss.  While the pattern is infinity scarf, I chose to do mine as a regular scarf, since I wear those more.  And I kept with it throughout the ups & downs of the season and finished on the very last day of the regular season (heartbreaking, since the boys were thisclose to making it to the post season).
