Has anyone figured out how to knit a bike jersey? My mother died last winter and I got all her knitting stuff.

Say, do you think they'll ever make wool knickers in a shorter/petite length? IMO knickers ideally end somewhere in the narrower part of the leg between the knee and the calf muscles. I have a 30-31" inseam and The El Fitos end right at the widest part of my calves, which is both unflattering and slightly pinchy on wide calves...

I wouldn't hold your breath. Originally Posted by Dianyla

However, as with adding any new piece to the line, they have to be convinced that they will be able to sell enough units to make it a viable proposition. They'll add a piece only is they get enough requests. And in the case of a new style, we'd probably see it added in men's before women's, I think.
So, if you really want to see something happen, send them an email.

I have always wondered about this clearly popular thread. Do you really just talk about wool stuff all the time or is that just a vegemite ploy?
