Combining things together can make for some great recipes. The same goes for knitting and the reasons we knit. Take for instance the "Flaunt Your Colors Scarf" and "Hail to the ... Dishcloth" patterns....
Cast on 70 stitches and knit the Block "M" from the dishcloth pattern into the first stripe of the scarf pattern flat.
Knit the remainder of the stripes in the round.
Weave in the ends, mattress stitch the side seam closed, and sew up the bottom of the scarf.
Find a comfortable place to sit while you knit around...
...and around....
...and around...
...and around until it's all finished.
...and around until it's all finished.
Mix in some 'appropriate' coordinating clothing...
Find another comfy seat...possibly in your favorite football stadium...
Combine that with a Band....

...mix in some Olympians...
Including Mr. 8 himself, Michael Phelps...who all are connected with your favorite University....
Toss in the football team.....
The a'maizing' student section...
Bring on the kickoff...
Toss in a "few" of your favorite fellow fans...all 109,833 of them...
as you watch the team go from this....while you're thinking...'huh?'....
Consider how to get the Band to play the fight song...oh that would be mixing in ....
a touchdown....
or two....

....or three....
...possibly even four...
....watch as your heart stops when the catch is missed by 'JUST THIS MUCH'...

As the team begins a new tradition singing "HAIL! HAIL!" with the student section....
And you will know that great combinations belong together!
Oh yes...the girl's got a Wolverine heart...
(even if the scarf wasn't in the stadium...I'd still like to think it helped to 'root' the team to Victory!---Yep, uh ah...I know...I dream big!!!)
