Christmas Crafting with Spirit
October 19th, 2009
My mother is the type of person who wants to have all of her Christmas presents purchased before October. She has recently gotten back into crocheting after a 20+ year break from it, so she’s excited to learn everything I can tell her about stitches, fibers, and all things yarn-related. While talking to her on the phone, I mentioned our newest yarn, Hometown USA. Her thoughts immediately went to her almost finished Christmas list.
“Do you have Pittsburgh Steelers colors? I want to make my sister a striped scarf.” I recommended that she try Pittsburgh Yellow with Oakland Black. “How about Cleveland Browns colors? You could make your cousin Bryan a hat.” I quickly suggested Cleveland Brown and Syracuse Orange. Now I have to send her the yarn so that she can finish all of her Christmas crafting.

I don’t see anything I can use for the current Philadelphia Eagle green

Sadly, there is no Jacksonville Teal.

Thanks, but my comment was more about the lack of the appropriate green…I might still try that scarf, adapting it to crochet
Zontee says: Gotcha, well, as you can see from those directions, Michelle used colors from Vanna’s Choice, another easy-care yarn, and there are two greens (Loden & Forest Green) that would be good in Wool-Ease. You should definitely be able to adapt that pattern to crochet. Same idea of using the chart when you get to the point where you want the pattern.
