Super Bowl XLVI in 2012 will be at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, and the host committee wants to give each of the game's 8,000 volunteers a hand knitted or crocheted scarf.
There are specific color requirements, and there are yarn stores throughout the state that are offering the appropriate colored yarns. Don't fret, if you're on a budget and regular worsted weight yarn is more your speed, you can always pick up good old Red Heart Super Saver E300 – Color 0311 White and Color 0385 Royal Blue. The yarn stores that are listed as participating in the Super Scarves project have available Cascade 220 - Color 8505 White and Color 9457 Blue.
The scarves are to be in these colors and should not have any team-specific designs on them.
In northeast Indiana, the following yarn stores are participating:
Knitting Off Broadway: 1309 Broadway, Fort Wayne
422-YARN www.knittingoffbroadway.com
The Yarnery: 119 W Maumee St., Suite A, Angola
260-316-6139 or 260-316-5551.
