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.

New Kid on the Block
Knitters Rule. No...Bikers Rule. No....Bikers Who Knit Rule. Oh...I don't know...I only know that I love both.
But I'm always in hot pursuit of the ultimate blues band. My idea of heaven is to sit in a tiny club with a 'tear at your soul' harmonica player....good bassist....and a killer lead guitar. Add to the mix...a swampy gravelly voice....oh oh...be still my heart.
As for knitting...it calms me. ( I tend to go full tilt most of the time.) The business of counting......concentrating...and the simplicity of creating something beautiful out of two sticks and a hank of yarn has always amazed me. I've made ski sweaters out of Icelandic yarn...shawls...endless scarves...just about everything but socks. I don't wear socks in Florida except for biking!! The slippers and socks pictured here are beautiful! This is one talented group of women.
I'm very happy to be in your company.

Welcome Maureen . . .I'm sitting here with my almost finished shawl on my lap, trying to finish reading all these interesting posts.
Weather permitting, I'm going to meet my first TE cyclist friend tomorrow on a bike club ride. This is a great, very supportive site -- glad you found it.
And that is so cool -- having a bike shop in the family!

IFJane - welcome aboard!!
I don't knit. Can't . I can crochet granny squares and attach them to each other..... that's why I took up beading. Much easier for me.....

Love those slipperz
I'm getting into felting, wool yarn junkie. I've attempted socks w/ DP needles and get all twisted. I found a pattern for socks using tiny circular needles a size 2 and 3. Will need to give that a try again. As for felting, I'm going to do a scarf that I'm finishing up and I'd like to make a tote/purse and put a zipper on it. Do my own colors.
p.s. I crochet a little too. Jennifer
