I have never been much of a fan of spectator sports. I don’t watch television, and I don’t really follow any major league teams.
And then, 4 years ago, we moved to the Upper Valley of New Hampshire. Since I could not (at the time) play hockey myself, we decided to take in a game at the local Thompson Arena, home of Dartmouth Women’s Hockey.
We were hooked! Soon, my sweetie & I found ourselves eagerly awaiting home games, and felt our spirits rise and fall with the fate of our team. Since Dartmouth’s program is one of the best in the country, we have enjoyed some top-notch hockey at Thompson Arena.
Last week was no exception… even my mom, who isn’t much of a sports fan either, found herself clapping and cheering for our winning women, who are undefeated so far this year.
So, if you have never been to a Dartmouth Women’s Hockey game, do yourself a favor and get over to Thompson Arena on November 23, when our ladies take on St. Lawrence. Puck drops at 7 pm. See you there… I’ll be the one in the felt hat, knitting up a frenzy, just above the blue line. Go Big Green!

My Mission
I create highly functional, exquisitely handcrafted art-to-wear Heirloom Handknit Hats.
Winter is wonderful... but not if you're cold. That's where a lovely, warm hat fits in!
If wearing one of my hats helps you get outside and enjoy yourself, then I will have played my small part in making the world a little warmer and brighter.
Your head is sacred. It's my mission to create original art-to-wear hats that are worthy of your head.
Art-to-Wear for Every Head
Each of my Heirloom Handknit Hats begins as a giant, over-sized stocking cap, knit by hand of llama and wool.
Next, it is shrunk into a thick, durable felt in the washing machine, which is then shaped by hand and air-dried.
Finally, each hat is lined with a silky ribbon to keep it's shape and provide lasting comfort. Many are finished with freehand embroidery, as unique as the wearer.
All are signed, dated and numbered by hand.
With less than 200 made each year, these hats are truly limited-editon, art-to-wear pieces that will provide years of warmth and comfort for the lucky owner.
