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.

I'm from PA, so it's STEELERS!!!
I'm rooting for the Packers to win the Super Bowl.
Packers!!!
GO packer!!!!!
I've been a Steelers fan since ever & my daughter has been rooting for them because their colours are the title of one of her (new) favourite songs.
Packers, Packers Packers!
Go Stillers!!
Actually, I'll be watching Puppy Bowl, but I have an uncle who's a Pack fan, so if I won that yarn I'd make him some socks.
I'll be rooting for the Steelers!
As a knitter, crocheter AND a huge Steeler fan, I can't think of a better contest! Thanks for the chance to knit something up in our Steeler Black 'n Gold!

The Natural Stitches link goes to the Yarns by Design site. Is this an anti-Steeler conspiracy? :)
I have to go for Green Bay because they're such a good team. And, their colors are prettier!
Go Steelers!
Thanks for the heads up Bethany. It's been fixed.
go steelers!
As a rabid Bears, I have but one Comment. GO STEELERS!
Steelers
GO Packers! :)
Steelers for my friend Laura Hope. She is 8 years old and has brittle bone disease. She loves the Steelers even painted her bedroom gold and black. So if I win, I'll make her something from the yarn.
C'mon Packers! (I'm a fan by association, lol, all my friends are rooting Packers).
Go Packers!
Go Packers!
I go back to the days of "one for the thumb" Go Steelers!!!!!
Oh, it pains me to say this, but Steelers? My sister-in-law is a huge fan, and I've been meaning to buy some black and gold yarn to make her something. I feel so dirty now.
It's got to be the Steelers.
Karin
Steelers!! Already have our jersey and onsie ready!!
STEELERS ALL THE WAY!!! I have several family members who would LOVE socks made from this yarn (as would I!)
Packers!
Go Pack! Cheeseheads rule!
Packers all the way.
Packers...it would be so thrilling for Aaron Rodgers to finally get out from Brett's shadow once and for all.
Must leave a vote for the Packers since my husband loves that team. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, and I must say the last two games of the playoffs were the very first time I ever cheered for the Steelers . . . .
Kathy V in NM
Definitely rooting for the Packers!
Go Steelers! The colors look awesome and wouldn't mind some Steelers socks.

Go Steelers! I was actually sitting in Natural Stitches when they found out about this contest.
Since my dear Colts won't be playing... I'm choosing the Packers based on color alone LOL!
Steelers definitely!
Go Steelers!!!!!!!
Go Steelers!!!
Steeeeeelers!!!
My brother works for NFL Films and is leaving for TX tomorrow, so I'll be rooting for him since the next two weeks will challenging. If I have to choose a team, I'll take the Steelers.
Here we go Steelers!!
Go Steelers!!!
Here we go Steelers!

GO STEELERS! Beautiful yarns, BTW!

Here we go, Steelers, here we go! Pittsburgh's goin' to the Superbowl.
=) I love the yarn!

Go, Pack, go! I have gotta have the Packers colors - husband is from WI, and if I brought Steelers yarn into the house, there'd be words.
The Pack! Go Packers! (On behalf of my BFF from Milwaukee).
Go Steelers!!!!!
Steelers!!
Here we go Steelers here we go!! Get those Terrible Towels out!!
Go Pack!
Packers! Packers!
Go Packers!
Even though I live in Mike McCarthy's old neighborhood, and work with his brother, gotta go with my Steelers (although the Packers blend is REALLY cute).
Here we go, Steelers!
I want the Steelers to win. In 2009, my family had its annual family reunion in Pittsburgh. It is a great town. My late uncle loved the Steelers and the Pirates. I am pulling for the Steelers in his memory.
Go BLACK AND YELLOW!!!!!!!
Here we go, Steelers, here we go!
A seventh Superbowl ring and trophy will look nice in the collection.
Go Steelers!!
Steelers, no question!!!!!!!!!!
Joan McElroy
The Steel Curtain will crush the Packers! Go Steelers!
Steelers all the way!!!
I snapped up two skeins of the Packers yarn from the first batch, and just wanted to say Yarns by Design is a fantastic store with FAST shipping!
Casi in TN (who is married to a Wisconsin native :) )
My team is out so I can't exactly say I'm a rabid fan...but go Steelers!
Steelers. I live in MN. Thanks for asking.
I grew up in Pgh, remember the immaculate reception, and am thrilled that the Steelers are setting another record. So, yes, I will be rooting for the Steelers.
Let's Go Steelers!!!
Go Steelers!
Oh, the Packers for sure!
Go STEELERS!!!! Black and Gold all the way!

I don't really care much about football, but considering I was born & raised in Neenah (even though I no longer live there), I have to root for the Packers or be disowned by my entire family. ;)
GO PACK GO! :D
hello.lovely@gmail.com
Well, you just made up my mind...I am going to have to vote for the GB Packers because the color of the yarn is magnificent! I am a Cincinnatian so cheering for the Steelers is just painful but they are in our division. And GB..well, great state and nice people. But it was easy after seeing your dye jobs!
Steelers of course!
I will be routing for the Green Bay Packers !!!!! I have never lived in Wis but have always been a Packers fan.

Go Packers! I live in New England and I'm usually a Patriots' fan, but my father and grandfather are huge Packers fans, so I'm hoping they win this year!
My parents met at Pitt, so even though we grew up in Rockford (and all my cousins are now spread across the states) we are all Steelers fans. I just ordered two sock and one worsted from Natural Stitches, but would love to win another! Go Steelers!
Having grown up in New Jersey I'm actually a Jets fan at heart, but after living in Wisconsin for 40 years, it's Go Pack! After all, Green Bay is Titletown!

My heart belongs to Pittsburgh -- Go Steelers!
The Packers are the only publicly owned team in the NFL, meaning they will never leave Green Bay... I think this makes them the NFL equivalent of a LYS!
Go Steelers!
Here we go Steelers, here we go! Pittsburgh's going to the Super Bowl! Whoooo!
I think I will be rooting for the Packers now that the Bears will be out of the picture. Go, cheeseheads, go!
It's the Packers for me!
I'm moving to Pittsburgh a week before the game, so I'm all for the Steelers! I'm excited to live in a city with a pro team!

Here We Go !
Steelers!!!!
Packers all the way, Bay-beeee!
I'm for the Green Bay Packers. My two real teams, Patriots and Vikings, are out. I grew up in New England and live in Minnesota.
Steelers all the way baby!! HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!!
EB
Packers all the way!
Steelers for the win!! :)
Is it okay to say, "who cares, but yarn is awesome and the superbowl is a great excuse to knit"? ;)
Go Packers!
Go Packers!
Go Packers!!
Go Steelers! (I would normally choose Green Bay, but since they went and beat the Bears to be in the Superbowl, well, phooey on them.)
Currently living in a house divided - I'm for Green Bay while the spouse is backing the Steelers.
The Pack all the way. Our kids live in WI and there is NO team with the support like Packers' fans! It's a longtime legacy and they deserve to win for their fans.
Go Steelers!
Packer Rule! Steelers... are too big and strong for me to finish this rhyme. Go Pack. Thanks for the giveaway.
Go Packers!
Go Pack Go!!!
Sarah Whalen
Go Steelers! Woop, woop...
I like the Packers! Crazy fans in a frigid outdoors home stadium, brrr.
GO PACK GO!
My brother is a big Packers fan, so I would love to win this skein and knit something for him. Probably won't be a hat, as he already has that wedge of cheese atop his head.
We will be rooting for the Packers at our house on game day, and really even after!!!
redmelbug at yahoo dot com
It's the Steelers all the way (don't let my MIL hear that... she's from Wisconsin, and a Packers fan all the way)
Packers! I'm in the UK with no strong partisan feelings, but I LOVE those colours, and I promise to come back and show you the resulting FO!
Steelers all the way!!!!!!
Go Packers! I lived near Green Bay when they were in their last 2 Super Bowls, so the frenzy was extra intense...nice from farther away this time!
Oh, I was supposed to show my Packer love here and not on Facebook?!?! Well, I'm covered in both places, then. Go Packers!!!
Go Pack Go, Best team ever
WooHoo!!! Let's go Steelers!!!
GO PACK GO!
as a bears fan, i have to go for the steelers.
I was born a Packer fan and will die a Packer fan! Love my green and gold, Go Pack Go!!
Go Pack Go! From a diehard Packers fan living in Bear country.
I have cheese on my head and I bleed green and gold!
Go Pack Go!
Go Packers!!!!!! Cheesehead forever!!
Go Steelers!
We love the PACKERS in our house.
Diane
Go packers!
Go Packers;)
I am a Pat's fan thru and thru however, I definitely want the Packers to win!!! I can tell you many reasons why, some controversial, others, not so much! Packer's are just a loveable team as long as they are not playing the Patriots!
Gotta be by boyz from 'Da 'Burgh--Go Steelers!!!!
It's going to be the Packers!!
I'll be cheering for the Packers to have some sort of investment in the game and because "Go Green!" is firmly rooted in my head where football is concerned. I'm really a Saskatchewan Roughriders fan, though.

Love Green Bay ..... Go Packers.
Go Pack! I'm a big fan, and even my niece who's a Steeler's fan thinks Green Bay will win!
Steelers!
Packers!

Go Packers!
Go Pack Go! And thanks, Lorna's Laces, for the great colorways!
Pack Attack. Packers All The Way, Baby.
Steelers! My husband is from PA, and so he bleeds black and gold. I've already made him (and his mom) Steeler's Pride scarves :)
I am a Packer's fan by birth!!!!
Packers, please!!!
Go Pack Go!! Packers!!
I just like the Midwest so much I want to say both, but I will say Steelers because I like saying "yinz!"
I'm all for the Packers! I love the Go Packers! yarn, it's absolutely beautiful :)
Go Packers!
Packers...since I'm an Eagles fan...but my Cheesehead sister would sure love for me to knit her up something Pack Style!
Go Steelers!!
Go Packers! - But that's mainly because I have so many friends in Wisconsin and I love Yarns by Design in Neenah (yay Midwest Masters!).
Go Packers--wouldn't want the Steelers to win since they beat the Jets!
Packers all the way! Yeah Baby!
Even though I am super fond of yellow and black, I will be backing thePackers. Midwest transplant from the Baltimore area means I simply cannot abide the bSteelers. :)
Packers all the way
Terri@strangeknit.com
Here in Utah we don't have a pro football team. I think that's unfortunate. I think I'm going to cheer for the Packers this year because I think every Super Bowl should be played in a frozen tundra or somewhere outdoors where the players have to battle each other and the elements.
My team didn't make it this year. :( I'll prolly end up rooting for the Steelers.
Go Pack Go!
If it can't be the Patriots, then it better be the PACKERS!!!!!!
Go Pack Go!
Packers. Cuz I can't root for the Pats.
Packers!!!
Go Steelers!!!!!
Go steelers!
I guess I'm rooting for the Steelers... more rooting to win a contest, but as my teen would say... whatev. ;-)
GO PACKERS!!!!!!!!!!! Only because the Vikes aren't playing. Again. *sigh*
Packers - because I love that yarn!!
Steelers all the way!
Packers all the way.
Steelers 'cuz I love Black and Gold.
I don't have a dog in this fight, but I loves me some cheese, so go Packers!
Go Packers! (Mostly because they share colors with the Oregon Ducks!) :)
Go STEELERS! Kick that packer booty!
Packers
Packers of course I love cheese
I'll be spending Superbowl Sunday knitting at a bar with no TV's, but my mom is a huge Green Bay fan and I bet she'd love a Packer's Clapotis.
Woo, Packers!
Woot - go Packers!
I've always liked the Packers just b/c of their colors!! :D
Since my Chefs and Colts couldn't close the deal, I'm for the Packers this year.
Go Packers!!!
since i had to witness the falcons losing to the packers during the playoffs-i'm cheering for the steelers.
Since the 49ers aren't playing. I'll go with the Packers.
Let's go Packers let's go!!!
Go Packers!
Go Pack!
Go Green Bay Packers!!!!!
Go Packers!!!
Go Pack!!!!
Green Bay all the way!
Greenbay Packers all the way! I started watching NFL a few years ago because of them. I have not been watching regularly but I try to catch the highlights online when I can.
Here we go Steelers! Here we go!! Stairway to Seven! Seventh Heaven!
PACKERS ALL THE WAY!!
Green Bay Packers! 'Nuff said!
Here we go Steelers! Here we go!
