New Kid on the Block

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:

Hi and Welcome Maureen. I ride and knit too(not at the same time LOL) I have a Trek hybrid and a Giant road bike. Love them both. I like to knit scarves mostly, don't have patience for big projects really. I did make a gorgeous shawl last yr- candy apple red in Lion brand homespun V shaped w/ fringe. It turned out well. Have fun test riding bikes at your brothers shop. I swiped a WSD seat off the Trek 1000 wsd for my Giant b/c I liked it. Pick what fits you and makes you want to ride. Good Luck. Jennifer
