Anyone can participate in this and you do not have to watch the Superbowl to play. The winner will win something fun from Village Wools. Just so you know, I don’t care who wins the football game today. I just look at is as a great opportunity to get hours of knitting done!
Here is the challenge. Take a picture of whatever you are working on before you start knitting at all today. (You can come into this late too! I bet some of you can knit more in 2-3 hours than some of us in a day!) Before you go to bed tonight take the second picture to show how much you were able to knit today. I know some of you will probably sit and knit throughout the entire game and some will do your normal Sunday thing. So let’s see who can knit the most today. I’ll give you until Tuesday morning to post your pictures and then I will pick a winner. Post it in your blog so we can get as many people to play as possible. Um….can you tell I’m competitive? However, I know I will not win because some of you have some crazy mad skillz!
Here is my Ruffles at 8:18am.

Hmm, are you randomly pulling names? Or is it going to be the knitter who knit the mostest? ‘Cos this kid would luv to win something from the fabulous Village Wools, but… today is for finishing off odds and ends before the Olympics, so I’m not going to have any huge amount knitted…
Oooh, I’m in! Off to find the camera!
I’d love to play, but don’t have a digital camera yet. So I’ll just cheer everyone else on while I’m cheering for the Seahawks to win the Superbowl.
Love your new site!
You Rascal! I was peacefully avoiding housework and planning an (unneccesary) trip to Target and now I have to go get all up in some wool!
What kind of Sunday is that?
Sounds like fun, Scout! You have way too much energy today, by the way…
Hey, the site looks great! I checked it in Safari, and there’s a few quirks, but nothing too major. If you want, I can look at the template code for you and see if I can isolate some of the CSS code that could be causing quirks.
I’m going to try and get a lot done on my Odessa today, but it’s slow going… I started the first pattern row last night, but I ended up losing 3 stitches by the time I finished one round. So I’m going to have to go back and see if I did an even number of increases and decreases. I’ll figure it out eventually
I’m in! Working on DH’s sock today, hopefully I won’t lose my mind with the ribbing
Oh No! I just cast off! That leaves me empty needles! Hmmm….count me in, I’m hostessing with the mostessing, so I might not get much done, but I’ll try anyways!
Oy…I have a baby shower to go to today (just sewed the buttons on the sweater about an hour ago, and hopefully the fan will get it dry before I have to wrap it up and leave *g*).
I am so in! I just posted my “no progress yet pic”. What a great excuse to spend the day knitting.
OK, the picture has been taken… Let the knitting begin….
We just got home from the company party, got our Stupor Bowl munchies, we are ready…. I just need to make sure not to drink the margaritas until AFTER the game starts
I’ll go get my camera out. I’m aiming to turn the heel of Jaywalker #1. Have to make veggie childi and do some homework before the game, but 3-4 hours of knitting should get me somewhere on the d*mn sock.
xx
I’m in!
My plan is to start a scarf at kick-off and knit through the whole game (that’s what I did last year!).
I’ll play! I started my Sockapalooza socks today- have one pic up so far, will put up another after I finish knitting for the night.
uh uh I kicked some butt today, whoo ooooooooo!!! YEAH! lol
I can not believe I finished all the parts for the bany cardi and they appear to all be correct!! For my
sisters last baby I never finished the sweater because It got super confusing on the shoulders.. which IS
where i messed up tonight, but now I’m a bad ass knitter and can fix things!! YAEANH!H!H!
well crap, I didn’t read this until the end of the night, I worked until 3 and then I came home to watch the game and knit. I finished my first sock and cast on for the second one. I got about 3 inches of it done. but no pic since I didn’t know to take thme.
Great contest though!!
JWW
Gah! Of course I read this too late to participate! I did like, 30+ regular rows plus the first 4-5 rows of the heel flap on a Jaywalker today, but I didn’t think to get photographic evidence of my feat. Poop!
I did my best! Pics are up.
such a fun idea - too bad I did not find out about it until today - a day late, and (many) dollars short after I hit up a Superbowl Sale yesterday at the not-so-local yarn shop…
Pretty Ruffles!
I like the look of your Ruffles. It is exactly the same color as the short row scarf I’m doing for DH!
