I originally learned to crochet from Carolyn, my best friend in our Customer Service department. As of Nov. 11th, I will have been working here for one year. Crocheting is still an uphill battle for me, so I am not as good as other associates here, but I get by.<\/p>\n<p>Like many people from New Jersey, I was born a die-hard New York Giants fan. My cubicle is adorned with a fair share of Giants paraphernalia, especially Super Bowl Champions things. Between work, football, and only a cursory knowledge of crochet, I have very little time to practice.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, my good friend Stephanie decided to make me a Giants hat for my birthday. She told me to pick the colors, yarn, and layout and she would take care of the rest. I picked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lionbrand.com\/products\/vannas-choice-yarn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vanna&#8217;s Choice<\/a> in Colonial Blue, Scarlet, and White to match the Giants&#8217; team colors. The resulting hat keeps me warm while rooting for the Giants. Go Giants!<\/p>\n<p><em>For more ideas about showing team spirit, check out our latest issue of our monthly newsletter, BK4K.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a post from John, in our New Jersey office: My name is John, and I work in Lion Brand&#8217;s Information Technology (IT) department.
