For each game your team plays, you knit a row for each point scored (in the order scored) and you will have a beautiful scarf at the end of football season. (For Example: Choose black and gold yarns for the Saints - knit a black row for each point the Saints score, and knit a gold row for each point the opponent scores. By the end of the season you will have completed a beautiful, unusual and one-of-a-kind scarf, and you will be looking forward to and enjoying football games more than you ever thought possible! Ha!)

"For you formed my inward parts; 
you knitted me together in my mother's womb. 
 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. 
 Wonderful are your works; 
my soul knows it very well." 
Psalm 139:13-14
