A long time ago, I started knitting a sweater for my bicycle. Today, because I had the bike in the house doing some maintenance, I decided to put the sweater on the bike. I don't care much for the look of it, and I think I am going to do something else, but I will leave it on for a while to see if it grows on me.
Out of curiosity I went on Ravelry to see what other people might be doing for their bikes and of course I found a lot of projects. All images link back to the profile pages of their creators on Ravelry and I don't think they will work if you aren't logged in.

ReplyDeletehow do you put the sweater on the bike? is it like a rectangle that's sown on all along the bar?
Exactly. Many people are also using buttons.
ReplyDeleteI think my next step would be to knit some kind of lace with very fine yarn and tiny needles and sew it on and then cover it with clear acrylic paint. This would allow me to cover the whole bike but not block access to the cables.
Also, I want something that looks more subtle and sophisticated, and less like some hippy thing.
