Scoreboard KAL

The Nebraska Cornhuskers last game of the season was a bowl game played on December 30, 2016, and here it is March of 2017. I do not have a good excuse for waiting so long to finish this Knit-along. I will blame it on the lackluster performance of the team and the generally apathy I felt toward football by the end of the season. I know, I am not a very good fan. Since posting about the ten-stitch blanket and my WIPs last week, I decided it is time to make those works in progress into finished objects. The scoreboard KAL had the least amount of work to finish, so I did it!
This KAL is sponsored by Skacel Knitting, one of the vendors we use at Weedy Creek Yarn. The idea is to keep track of the football season of your favorite team. When you are finished you have a cowl! I chose the shorter version in which I knit two rows for every score, red for the Cornhuskers and white for the opposing team. The black yarn separates the games. You can see way too much white on this cowl! The longer version would have you knit a row for each point scored and would be a more accurate representation of the season.
It is always a bonus if you learn something from a project. This time I learned how to Kitchener in the round to join the ends. Not as hard as it sounds!
