Knitty Gritty is hosting a knit in on Super Bowl Sunday in order to encourage knitting for charity.
On February 4th, 2007, Knitty Gritty, the DIY Network's knitting show hosted by Vickie Howell, is running a matharon of episodes from 5 P.M. to 11 P.M. EST. During the matharon, Vickie and DIY network are encouraging the knitting of 7"x9" squares for Warm Up America!, a charitable organization dedicated to the creation of handmade blankets, clothing and accessories to help those in need.
The 7"x9" squares knit and donated by DIY viewers will be sewn together into blankets, and distributed to women's shelters, nursing homes and daycare centers.
For more information on how to participate in DIY's year-long initiative, including a pattern for the square, log on to www.DIYnetwork.com/knit.
Vickie Howell will also have a live blog during the event which is being dubbed "Super Knit Sunday".
For more information see, Knitty Gritty Knit In on Super Bowl Sunday!

Knitty Gritty
Knitty Gritty: 25 Fun & Fabulous Projects by Vickie Howell contains projects from the DIY Network's Knitty Gritty television show.
This is a fresh and fun knitting book. From the clear photos and diagrams to the funky and fashionable knitting patterns, Knitty Gritty: 25 Fun & Fabulous Projects is a great tribute to the popular knitting show hosted by Vickie Howell.
The first part of the book covers knitting basics including yarn, tools and supplies, and how to knit the basic knitting stitches. This section has clear and easy to understand pictures, diagrams, and instructions.
The second part of the books is split into two sections of knitting projects.
Wearable Knits includes some great knitting patterns. I especially like the Rock Star Bag, which is knit and then embellished with duplicate stitch. The bag is then felted for durability.
The Lace Sampler Shrug is a great way to learn different lace stitches while creating a great garment to wear.
The Garter Pocket is a fun and easy knitting project. This garter is meant to hold lipsticks and other essentials when you don't want to carry a purse.
The Great Gauntlets are knitted with cables and go up past the elbow to keep arms warm.
Home Decor and Knitting Gifts is the second knitting pattern section.
The Backgammon Board is felted and uses i-cord wound up into spirals for the games pieces.
The Sampler Afghan is a great way to learn new knitting stitches while knitting a fun and funky throw.
For the more advanced knitter, the Teddy Sweater includes fair isle and steeking in an adorable garment for a teddy bear.
The last section of the book covers dyeing your own yarn. It gives directions and the materials needed to make your own unique yarn.
If you enjoy Knitty Gritty, the television show, you will be happy to own Knitty Gritty, the book.
