Now it's time to turn our attention to the big game. The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers will be taking the field on February 6th. Can you think of two teams with more rabid fans?
We've dyed up a couple of special colors. One the left is Go Packers! And on the right is Pittsburgh Pride. I'm not sure two fans would really cozy up like that.
You can get Go Packers! at Yarns by Design in Neenah, WI. The Pittsburgh Pride is at Natural Stitches in Pittsburgh.
We'd like to give away one skein of Shepherd Sock to a fan of each team. Leave a comment letting us know whether you'll be rooting for the Packers or Steelers and we'll pick a winner from each side using a random number generator on the day after the game.
**Edited to add:
I just got a call from the nice folks over at Signature Needle Arts. They want a piece of the Super Bowl action too!
They are generously upping the kitty in our little Packer/Steeler contest and have offered to give away one pair of straight needles to each of our lucky winners. In keeping with the theme, they have gold needles (sized 1 and 6) and green needles (3 and 8). Or you can pick another color if you'd like.

GO STEELERS GO!
I live in a suburb of Buffalo, NY, and have for most of the 52 years of my life. In the last 10 NFL seasons, the Buffalo Bills have not even made it to the play offs. During the four seasons in a row that they made it to the Super Bowl game, they could not even win one time! It's tough to be a fan.
With that said, I travel to Pittsburgh, Pa. on occasion with my husband when he has business there. The people are very friendly, the beer is very good, the zoo is very nice, the views from Mt. Washington are to die for and the national sports teams often go to the finals of playoff games and sometimes they actually win!!
I, therefore am rooting for the STEELERS!!
PS: The three national sports teams in Pittsburgh all have the same black and gold team colors, so this yarn can be used for football, baseball and hockey!
PPSS: I've been to Natural Stitches yarn store and it's fantastic - friendly workers, extremely well stocked (especially with Lorna's Laces yarn), and lots of parking. If you're visiting in Pittsburgh you should stop, I think you will find it worth your while.
The Packers, but only grudgingly because my teams are all gone :(
Go Packers!
Duh - Go, Pack, Go!
Go Packers!
My favorite team didn't make it but I will be going for the Steelers! Good luck!
Steelers!! AFC all the way for me, even though my team didn't make it this year. Steelers are my second fav.
GO Wisconsin!!!!
Green Bay all the way!!!
Whoohoo Steelers!!!!
Go Pack Go!
I've got my Cheesehead hats ready for the Game, GO PACKERS!
I'm rooting for the Packers
Steelers! I was cheering for the Falcons so obviously I can't cheer for Green Bay.
Go Steelers!!
Hmmm, I'm rooting for the Packers but I like the gold needles!
Since my Jets didn't make it I will have to root for the Steelers.
What a great contest! We will be cheering for the Packers. My son is a big fan, so the socks would be for him.
Packers all the way!
changed my mind - like Packers' colors better! Can I do that?
Sally
Packers even though they beat my Bears
I guess I'm going to have to go with Green Bay for this one, I like the colors better! LOL I'm really more of a Bears or Chiefs or Broncos or Saints fan... but they aren't in the Super Bowl are they!?
Go PACKERS!!
Go Packers!
I always cheer for former Illini players, so that means Go Steelers and Go Rashard Mendenhall
Steelers--my kids live in Pburgh!

I wish I was rooting for the Pats but I'll be rooting for the Steelers!
Packers! (Me and Mike & the Bots all know it!)
Packers, please...
Steelers! Go Pittsburgh!
Even though I'm a MN Vikings fan, and really wish it would have been purple and gold that you were dying up. I'm going with the Packers. Oh man it breaks my heart to say that. :o)

Go Packers!!
Go Steelers!!!
I love the Steeler colors, but being from Texas, in the DFW area...does it make a difference which team I root for?
Okay, make it official....Steelers!
Go Packers. Its your time!
Packers, I think :)
Packers!
Packers in honor of all my WI friends and family and because I think Aaron Rodgers deserves it.
Go Packers (Since I can't root for the Bears anymore)
Go Steelers!
GO STEELERS!!!!!!
Honestly, I'm not much of a football fan; I prefer rodeo or hockey. But if I said anything other than GO STEELERS, my relatives in Southwestern PA would ban me from Christmas for the rest of my life, and we can't have that now, can we? So, GO STEELERS! BLACK AND GOLD ALL THE WAY!!!
Steelers all the way. Only the best can beat my Jets. Plus I still have a crush on Lynn Swann, a million years later.
This midwest girl is Packers all the way. I have a cousin upstairs who would refuse me admission if I said anything else. Hooray for Green Bay!
It is definitely the Packers!!!
Rooting for the pack!!!
What a great Giveaway! Yarn & needles.Metal Signature needles for the Pittsburg Steelers!
PACKERS all the way. That trophy need to come home.

Being from PA have to go with the Steelers!
I would have to be for the Steelers!
Green Bay Packers!!
Whoot Whoot for the Packers! gotta love those cheese heads and all those Yoopers that love them!!
Go, Pack!!!
Can't say I'm a football fan (though I realize this may result in an automatic dq), but I do love green, and Wisconsin cheese, so . . . Packers it is!
Packers only because I like their colors more!
Midwest girl transplanted to the south--Go Packers!
Steelers!!! Woo hoo!!!!
Has to be the Packers! Go green!
Rooting for the Packers. Still bitter that the Steelers beat my Seahawks 5 years ago.
Green Bay will win
Steelers! I'm from Minnesota, and it would just be wrong to root for the Packers.
Go for it, Steelers!
steelers
Packers, of course!;)
Packers!!!
I have to go with the Packers 'cause at least Green Bay is in the neigborhood.
Packer's Please!
To be honest, I'm not a rabid fan of either team. However, my college colors were close to black & gold, so I'll be cheering for the Steelers based on that! :)
Green Bay!
Steelers
Steelers, for sure.
Steelers!! I hope they make it seven in '11!
I like the Packers myself. I always go for who has the better color combo.
Just moved to Wisconsin this summer and have found that you must cheer for the Pack or face certain harm! (I kid, sort of)! That being said, I could really use some gorgeous Packer yarn (and a slick pair of needles) to knit up some sorely needed Packer gear to show my support! GO PACK!
Go Packers!
Go Packers!!
Steelers!
Packers, of course.
Go Steelers!
Go...Steelers?? Who knows. I don't watch. but the yarn is pretty and I love Sigs!!!
I'm not a die-hard fan of either, but I'll be cheering for the Packers.
STEELERs all the way! Have to root for my home state team. Should be fun to watch though :-) and thanks for the chance to win some gorgeous yarn!
Go Packers! Only because the Pats are out and so that my friend Peter (a die hard Steelers fan) won't be able to gloat!
Green Bay! Love the yarn.
Steelers all the way!
GO Packers!
Oh, gosh. Well, both my parents were from Pittsburgh, so I guess it's a no-brainers - go Steelers!
Why, the Pack, of course!
I will be wearing my hand knit Green Gold socks to cheer them on.
The rule in our house is root for your conference, so all NFC fans please root with us!
Jean
I don't have a favorite team but like the Packers colorway.

I'm not sure I have a favorite between these two teams. So I'm going to vote Packers because I like cheese!
I usually watch the puppy bowl instead of the super bowl -- so I'll be rooting for any particularly fluffy or rolly-polly pups. I'll also be rooting for hanging out and eating junk food since the super bowl is a great excuse to just relax and hang out.
Go, Steelers!!
Um, football?
I'll be knitting on Sunday far away from any football excitement.
Have to go with the Steelers!!
Go Packers!!
I'm originally from PA, so I have to say the Steelers.
Go Packers!
Since I can't root for my beloved Pat's I'm rooting for the Packers. They're the home team for DH's employer :-)
Go Packers!
Steelers for the win!
Steelers all the way!
Steelers all the way.
Steelers all the way!
I have no ties to either team, but hubby is from Pennsylvania - so I guess it's Steelers!
Go Pack Go! Milwaukee is insane for the Green and Gold. :)
Go Packers!!!
Has to be the Steelers! Love your yarn. Thanks for doing this.
I'm for the Steelers all the way!!

GO PACK GO!!!
Go Packers!
Packers! Packers!
I'm a die hard Browns fan so GO GREEN BAY!!!!
Hey yinz Stillers, here we go!!! Troy, Hines and Big Ben will send 'em PACKIN' in Dallas!(and I'm not saying that just because Pittsburgh the best EVER yarn store, Natural Stitches... haha)
Well, If I had to pick one, it would be the Packers - Although, I'm really a Vikings fan! Debbie in Alaska
Go Packers!!! <3 Aaron Rodgers
The Packers colours are much nicer!
Cheers!
Go packers!
Go get 'um STEELER'S!!!!
Yay!! Go Steelers!!! Black and Gold all the way to #7 :)
Why, the Steelers, of course! :)
I can't remember if I responded, but I'm a fair weather Pack fan since the Bears are no longer in play.
Steelers FTW!!!
Packers and Steelers, both are the teams I root for. I win either way. Packers are the team I have followed for many years. Steelers because most of my family support the Browns and they are die hard enemies. Go teams!
Here we go, Steelers, here we go! I was raised in the church of Stillers football and bleed black & gold. :)
Packers for the win!
Go Steelers! Although I would have preferred the Bears . . .
PACKERS RULE!!!!!
Packers... Only cos I like the colors.
Go Packers!
Steelers all the way!
Haha, not much of a football fan myself, but I have a good friend who lives in Pittsburgh, so if I were doing any rooting, it would have to be for the Steelers ;)
Packers all the way!
I'm rooting for the Packers although I would love to win either team's yarn colors.
GO STEELERS!
Go packers!
Steelers - Although I love the colors on the left.....

Neither. Not a football fan. But I am a fan of nice knitting needles and yarn :)
Packers!
go steelers! my son who plays midget football plays in steelers colors and is rooting for the boys to win! how cool!
Packers, please!
Go Steelers! Or Packers! I just watch it for the commercials :)
Packers. I am not a football buff. But this is a really pretty skein of yarn. LOL
I'm a ways away, but since I've lived in Pittsburgh, I'm going to go with the Steelers!
Pittsburgh Steelers to win!
Go Pack Go!!!! My husband has said he will name our new son (to be born in the next 13 days) Aaron when the Packers win the Superbowl....
Packers! (Although I like black & gold colors - go Mizzou!) If I win, I will make a Packers scarf and flaunt it among my Vikings colleagues.
Steelers, gotta be the steelers. Is there another team? Oh, yes, the ones we beat :)
Steelers!
Go Packers!
Will be watching for the Steelers to win!
Go Steelers. This one is for my Dad.
Green Bay Packers all the way
The best part of the game is the time to knit.
Full disclosure - hate football (go ahead, throw beer cans at me!), but if I were forced to watch, I'd be rooting for the Packers. (=
Packers! I've heard that some investment firm has never been wrong in picking a winning super bowl team. They pick the Packers this year. Looks like I'm on the right train! :)
yummmmm....yarn and needles...
Packers!!
Rooting for the Steelers!!! (though can I admit to liking the packers colors better?)
Go Steelers!
Go Packers!!!!
I am definitely rooting for the Packers! Love the yarn you dyed for the occasion too!
Packers all the way!
Sara in WI
Go Steelers!
I will have to go with the Packers. But I confess it is because I like the yarn colors better.
I grew up in Northeast Ohio, so in a perfect world, I'd say, "GO BROWNS!"... but we all know how that goes. So I will cheer for my neighbors in Pittsburgh - GO STEELERS!
Green Bay Packers...same colors as my high school.
I'm a Patriots fan, born & bred, but for the Super Bowl, I'm an honorary fan of the Packers. Anyone who proves that they don't need Brett Favre to go far gets my support!! Also, my husband tells me that they are fan-owned, so I think that is pretty awesome. Go, Pack, go!!
Go Packers!

Another Steelers voice here.
