Today was the annual Chilly Hilly bike ride on Bainbridge Island. Now I'm not in shape to bike 33 miles and truth be told I don't even own a bike. However, that didn't keep me from being part of the support team!
Some Hilltop knitters rode in the race and some more of us chose to support them by shopping for yarn and fabric, as well as eating some delicious food.
Here's Shannon enjoying a beverage after the race. Which is actually a tiny dessert.
I managed to find a little something to treat myself with, isn't it pretty?
It's a dark chocolate tart filled with caramel and a mocha on the side. Yum.
I also managed to wear my new favorite sweater.
Obviously, Seth likes it. Or he's just proud that he actually did bike 33 miles.
I'm especially proud of these darts.
I started with the Boatneck Bluebell pattern from Fitted Knits by Stefanie Japel, and then I went my own way. This yarn is so beautiful I didn't think it needed much embellishment.
The yarn is a worsted weight merino from Spincycle Yarns, in the "Castaways and Cutouts" colorway. It goes with everything I own.
