Our guys are flying over the ice in red, black and white. The thick black disk has no chance--it’s going into the opponent’s goal, and the other guys are going home. The light, the horn, the cheers! You will be forgiven if you keep this hat on your head when our hero scores a hat trick.

Knitting: Mid-calf Socks

Ideal for spring, summer or fall, this lacy triangular shawl provides a little extra warmth for cool evenings or cold offices and restaurants.
