PREORDER AdoreKnit 2025 Exclusive Pigskin Party Project Tote Bag

 PREORDER!🏈 Pigskin Party 2025 Exclusives! 🎉

We’ve been thinking a lot about the Pigskin Party (because honestly, planning projects is half the fun!). But we’ve also been thinking about the bags—and it matters to us that everyone who wants one gets a chance. We know mid-day updates don’t work for everyone, and some of you missed out on ordering tote bags. It was never our intention to keep them out of reach—we’ve just learned that overproducing leaves us with extras (and as much as we love bags, even we don’t need that many).

The totes in particular are a big investment (and Mum’s sworn nemesis—she’s always trying to re-engineer the Carry-All!). Ironically, she’s also the one insisting we don’t leave anyone hanging. So, if you missed the update and still want one of these exclusive 2025 Pigskin Party totes, we’re opening up a 48-hour Pre-Order.

Here’s how it will work:
• Pre-order runs until September 2nd at noon.
• Once pre-orders close, we’ll order the fabric and stitch up your bags. (Production takes about 4 weeks—because good things take time and lots of thread.)  You can expect them to ship early October.

If you love the idea of carrying an exclusive Pigskin Party tote this season, now’s your chance! Thank you so much for your continued support—we can’t wait to make this the best Pigskin Party Knit-along yet!

It's Pigskin Party Season!  We’re the only Pro Shop sponsor featuring Boston Jen’s official Pigskin Party 2025 artwork—and these goodies score you extra KAL points!  We’re beyond excited to bring you these limited-edition project bags and stitch markers.  This year we went big—because every good team needs fresh uniforms, right?  See the full 2025 collection here!

We’ve got three Tote Bag styles to fit however you like to carry your projects: the brand-*new* Voyager Totes, available with either shoulder straps for hands-free ease or short wrist/hand straps for a classic look, and the roomy Carry-All Tote with tons of extra pockets and a stylish two-tone design.  

If zippers are more your style, you can pick between our Equator or Day-to-Day project bags, both finished with cheerful sunflower zipper pulls.

And of course, it wouldn’t be Pigskin Party without markers! This year we’re featuring the exclusive “Pigskin Party 25” Retro TV progress marker, paired with two sets of coordinating designs: one in teal and yellow, the other in warm oranges and golds. Each set comes with five markers, and you can add coordinating stitch markers sized for medium needles. Or, if you like to keep it simple, grab the Pigskin Party 25 Retro TV marker with a set of wheat stitch markers.
