Thanks to Lisa H, we are going to start a FOOTBALL KNIT ALONG!  The idea is you pick the 2 colors of your favorite team, ie-COLTS-blue and white. During the game, you keep track of the scores as they occur and knit a row for each point the teams make.  So, if the colts score a touchdown and point after you will knit 7 rounds in blue.  If the opponent scores a field goal, you will knit 3 rounds in white.  You will need a third color to be purled at the end of each game!...
