Calgary is a Hockey town and my family loves the game. While I know who Iggy and Kipper are, I have never been interested in the latest score, trade, or playoff position. I have been invited to attend several if not most of the games, but have maintained that if I couldn't take my knitting, I would rather stay home. My knitting has always been banned from the games with the threat that it would be thrown on the ice if I dared to be so sacrilegious as to knit in the great dome in the shape of a Saddle.
Saturday night - The Flames against the Ducks - I went to the game and the knitting came out! Granted, this picture was taken between the first two periods and those are little guys on the ice, but I knit all throughout the third period.
I do believe that the Flames played their best hockey during the third period and my knitting was probably the reason they won the game!
Most definitely the reason however, how come you didn't wear your hand knit sweater to the came - they would have had a shut out then.....
ReplyDeletehow could they lose with a smile like that in the crowd!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, Marilyn, I believe you were the cause of that win. Now, if only you can convince a couple other knitter/hockey enthusiasts to come to the games as well, they will get the Cup for sure!!
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone have a pattern for a

My two grandchildren are Flames fans and want me to knit one #12 and one #34.
