The Dallas Stars have their first preseason home game this week. (Incidentally, the last Texas Rangers game we'll be going to this season is the following day. Two sports. My two favorite sports. Two days in a row. Woo-hoo!!!) I picked out the top (fingertip part) of the team-color mittens I knitted last year in order to rework them (the finger part was too long). I also started some brief, cuff-less glove liners out of Knit Pick's Aloft Super Kid Mohair Yarn, waay back last spring. I also decided, after consulting with my game partner (aka husband), that my lap blanket made of that cute hockey-stick-and-puck patterned fleece really ought to be big enough for two.
None of these are finished. The game is in four days.
So…I'm going to go knit like a crazy woman until it's time to start dinner. After the knitting's done, I'll cut a new lap blanket and try to serge around the edges (for some reason, my 25-year-old overlock machine is having some technical difficulties). Then reassemble the hockey game bag (as opposed to the baseball game bag) and get. ready. for. hockey. season. And, okay, then freeze the bottles of water we'll take in the little cooler on Friday. It's odd going from a sport where we have to take stuff to stay cool to a sport where we have to take stuff to stay warm.
But, really, I'm not complaining. I freakin' can't wait.
