The 9th Annual Pigskin Party will run from 9/23/22-2/13/23
The Pigskin Party is a knit, crochet, weaving and spin along hosted in the Down Cellar Studio Podcast Ravelry Group that runs during the NFL football season. The more players finish, the more touchdowns and field goals they score and the more points they earn. Players also increase their score by using products from our awesome sponsors or meeting other challenges and by recruiting new team members. Every 100 points= 1 entry for the grand prize drawings. We also have lots of prizes reserved for participation on Ravelry and Instagram to keep it fun and light.
