Recently my mum spotted a competition to win a tweedy, woolly blanket with matching cushions on the
She really wanted to win the blanket....
The requirement was to combine wool and bikes and get a picture taken of self wearing wool while riding a bike.
My sister Jenny and I are down with both, WOOL (Two by Two ...wool available...jumpers, cardis, hats scarves etc)
and BIKES...Jen is a mountain biker (rides an actual bike, takes photos of riders and even knows how to mend a puncture)
she writes about her mountain biking adventures over at
We decided to go after the blanket by way of a
WOOLLY JUMPER ADVENTURE....
Jozza really looked the part
We both agreed that Wool is an excellent material for bike riding as it is a natural fiber and therefore breathable. It is stretchy and of course it looks fabulous. We opted for the new season Oubas Knitwear Poncho and scarf, a Fisherman Out of Ireland, Donegal Tweed roll neck jumper and of course Fair Isle socks knitted by Elves
Jozzas only issue was my personal protection equipment
which I agreed to with some slight alterations
We warmed up with a slow spin
then had a go at the jumps
with my experience of wool
and Jozzas experience of jumps
I'd say we made a good woolly jumper team
well, obviously, Jozza was a bit better at it than me...
All in all it was an excellent Woolly Jumper adventure
Hopefully the winning picture is somewhere in here and Mum will win the blanket!
Jumpin' Jehosephat, Jozza.
