Festival Update

skacel has a great knit along for 2015 Football Season, regardless of what team you support. As long as you are a fan, the 2015 Scoreboard KAL will allow fans to capture their favorite team’s season in the form of a hand knitted SCOREBOARD Cowl! They are also offering a kit giveaway for one lucky winner to get you started in Pittsburgh Steeler’s black and gold colors. The kit from skacel includes:

  • 6 hanks of HiKoo® Simplicity in MC (Steeler’s color #1)
  • 6 hanks of HiKoo® Simplicity in CC (Steeler’s color #2)
  • (2) addi® Rockets 16″ US 7 circular needles.

This will provide enough yarn to complete the entire KAL. The pattern will be released by Michelle Hunter, the KAL SCOREBOARD cowl designer, on September 3, 2015, which is what all participants will follow, get all information from the link above. For participating shops you can get the complete list in your state at this link.  Make sure to stop by our participating exhibitors including: Cultured Purl in Erie, PA, Kathy’s Kreations in Ligonier, PA,  Ewes d’Bleu in Cleveland, OH and Yarns by Design in Oakmont, PA,
