Hey Alpaca Direct Team! We're gearing up to start our Team Scoreboard KAL sponsored by Skacel.   This KAL uses a great yarn called 'Simplicity' that is very wearable and machine washable!  The KAL is fun because you get to create a unique "Knitted Record" of the scores for your favorite team in a scarf that tells the story of their season!   Each scarf has at least 2 colors.  Every time your team scores you knit the number of rows for points your team gets. If the opposing team scores, you knit rows for their points.  When the game is over you knit a purl row to call it wrap and begin again on the next game!

Be sure to pick your colors and order up your yarn so you can participate and share in the fun this football season!  We'll posting photos along the way and having fun knitting while we support our favorite teams!

Author, Teacher, and Designer Michelle “Knit Purl” Hunter is once again teaming up with skacel to create the most highly anticipated knit-along of 2015!

Slated to kick off with the beginning of the football season, the 2015 Scoreboard KAL will allow fans to capture their favorite team’s season in the form of a hand-knit SCOREBOARDcowl!

THE SCORECARD KAL PATTERN WILL BE AVAILABLE  ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2015!

Let's show some team spirit and...may your favorite team win! Here's the college colors by number:

and here's the Professional Team colors by number:

  Happy knitting!
