I'm still rooting for the Kansas City Royals, my hometown team. I know I'm a Jenny Come Lately to this Royals team and I know I don't attend (m)any games, but I hope to change that next season. My brother and his wife are huge fans, as well as many of my Facebook friends. I love seeing pictures of them enjoying Royals' games at Kauffman Stadium.
My fair weather fandom doesn't matter during the next several days because our boys in blue have made it into the World Series yet again, and they even won the first game in 14 innings very early this morning. During that game, I couldn't stand how close the score was and I needed something to do with my hands. So I went in search of blue yarn and I decided to make a crocheted cowl. I used Lion Brand's 45-minute cowl pattern, but I used Homespun yarn instead of Amazing. The reason for that is I already have cowls with nearly every color of Amazing, and I had some seriously gorgeous Homespun yarn just calling out my name to be made into something #Royal blue. I used Montana Sky and Windsor held together and crocheted with a Q-size hook (16 mm). One way to ensure your crochet project whips up nicely is to use a huge hook.
I really like how it turned out. How about you? I wore it at school today because the heat in our 53 year-old building is having a hard time finding the rooms in my hallway, but that just makes for an exciting day.
If tonight's game is close, I will most likely make some fingerless gloves to go along with my Royal blue cowl.

I remember when the Royals won the World Series in 1985. Thirty years ago, I was in high school, um, I mean Kindergarten--LOL! It was a surreal experience then and it is electrifying living through it again. I'd say thirty years is enough time to go without a World Series win. Let's bring it back home again, lads!

Go, Royals! You are the scrappiest team in the major league. Your hearts are in the right place and you make us Kansas Citians proud!
