Once again, I will remind you that this pattern is Absolutely NOT to be used for any type of profit in anyway, shape or form! This is a pattern that I've written to share with all those Wolverine fans out here. You can decorate your kitchen, your tail-gate party, or bring it to the game and swing it over your heads as you support our boys in blue! Make a set for your cabin, your camper, and your favorite graduate, too! Don't leave anyone out...just please respect the copy right laws, and promise you'll never EVER make a dime off this pattern. I'd hate to have them come after someone for issues. And I certainly don't wish to have them make me take it down and not be able to share my patterns with you, either. As the saying goes...let's all play nice.
Now, for the true fan, make one in each of maize and blue for your kitchen, and don't forget to add a few "Hail to the ... Dishclothes" to your set! (pattern is available over <-----) in the Wishing I was Knitting at the Lake Patterns list.
I'll post some better pictures hopefully after I've had the chance to block the one I finished a bit ago and find my navy button for it.
One last thing.....GO BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
