Love biking, reading, eating good food and sipping nice wine and the company of friends. I'm also a KNITTER.
All good, huh?

Welcome, Maureen, I think . . . .

Momentary hyjack----
SK & MP I did not know you both knit!
I am an avid knitter and have been knitting for 17 years ! I mainly knit sweaters- cable, fair isle, gansey or intarsia.

I knit but I don't knit like you. I'm more the small project type. My mind is whirling with too many creative ideas to deal with garments.

Very nice work!
TThe little hates are adorable. I love the Christmas stocking. Sadly, I make hats and scarves for the boys and DH, but only when I am in a car. I usually cable of fair isle them to amuse myself and knit them as fast as possible to be finished. I prefer large projects and small needles. Here is what DH's Christmas sweater will look like: http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/no/vi...id=14&&lang=no

I love all these responses....and who knew bikers were such avid knitters. If you all tell me you're blues fans, too......we'll just have to have a party or something. I forgot to mention that I'm a music freak, too.
I'm off test riding bikes today with a friend who suddenly is hooked.
More later!!!
Best to all..

Obviously I am a knitter too. I have done socks, hats, scarves, vests, felted clogs and sweaters although I have a lot of unfinished projects sitting around, especially now that I am riding more and knitting less.

You BROTHER owns a BIKE SHOP!!! <---- fuming with jealously over here.
Seriously, enjoy your new ride. I wish I had a captive mechanic.
Onto the secondary topic, I knit, too!!! My friend taught me last year, and I love it. I'm supposed to be knitting a sweater (I have the yarn and the pattern), but I've been spending too much on fitness stuff to buy the cable needles I need.
So I'm currently knitting a shawl instead using a very easy pattern. But my favorite thing to knit is socks because they are so comfy, the yarn is cheap because you don't need a lot, and they don't take too long to knit, either.

I am envious as well. i wish I had a relative who even knew someone who owned a bike shop. Sigh.
Biking, running, and planning to do a marathon and a tri put a hold on all knitting related expenses. I swapped one hobby for 3.

Hey, I'm an avid knitter too!!!
I've knit several sweaters and LOTS of socks and mittens and scarves. Socks are my favorite thing to knit.
Here's a brown sock I knit for my husband years ago- the only photo I have right now:
