But really, these teams were a pleasure to work on. I can only say that now, because I'm done. Matching shades of red, crimson, garnet, maroon, and Harvard Crimson make me, well, long for the good old days for the NFL match up.
As I do every time I'd like to say, I'm doing the best I can. I check every team, I don't just say "oh, crimson, I said color ## last time, I'll say color ## again."
It may not seem like it when you look at you favorite team and you go "Oh, dang, she the Gamecocks all wrong." Really, I'm doing my best!
Now, que the theme to 2001...

As always if you are in the Michigan area, these stores stock a shocking amount of Cascade:
Threadbear Fiber Arts in Lansing, Michigan
Your Local Yarn Shop in Battle Creek, Michigan
Again, I am not affiliated with either store, or with Cascade, although I'd love to be.

Humph. SEC. I guess they need knits, too, though.
Thanks for doing this, Holly. This is huge, and seriously, Cascade owes you big-time. I hope they're compensating you somehow. If not, fight for it.
Dito! This is huge and you deserve a prize!
No, really, no compensation.
I'd like a giant box of yarn or a job, or just a big "hey Holly is cool" from Cascade would be cool.
I'm sure I'm selling some yarn for them.
This is great- have you done the ACC, perchance?
ACC is in the works!
awesome, thanks!
Does anyone know of the yarn colors for FSU?
hi there. Not being a football girl I'm embarrassed to ask about University of Washington's conference, but... is there anyway you can match up their colors? I can't figure out their purple and while I found a UW set on http://www.camascreekyarn.com/washington/, I don't like the pattern and would actually like to order the wool from my local store on Main Street. Please help if you can xoxo! Thanks, Francesca
Wait! I just read someone else's comment about getting the Pantones and calling Cascade. I'm doing it now and will post so you can add for other Dawgs fans! Thanks!
