Superbowl Scarves

Now that Superbowl XLV is behind us, there is a team getting ready for the next one which will be held in Indianapolis. Besides the professionals who are putting the event together, there will be 8,000 volunteers who will greet guests and help visitors find their way around town.

What does this have to do with knitting or crocheting, you may ask. The host committee would like to give each volunteer a handmade scarf as part of their "uniform". So far, 2604 have been sent in. (Two of them are mine.)

If you want to contribute, the colors must be royal blue and white. The dimensions should be between 6-8 inches wide and 76-100 inches long. The color number for various brands of yarn is given on the website as well as pictures of some of the designs already turned in.

Here's the official website: www.indianapolissuperbowl.com/super-scarves It's exciting to know your work is included in such a huge event and that it is greatly appreciated.

Happy crafting.
