Not sure what yet.</p> <p>It won't be my first cycling related knit though, as I've just finished knitting earmuffs that are integrated with my helmet. They are very cosy (I used some nice soft alpaca). The rather nifty free pattern is here <a href="http://brineydeepdesigns.blogspot.co.uk/2008/10/free-pattern-bike-helmet-earmuffs.html" rel="nofollow">http://brineydeepdesigns.blogspot.co.uk/2008/10/free-pattern-bike-helmet-earmuffs.html</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11813#post-136044 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 00:31:13 +0000 Zenfrozt 136044@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I knit occasionally and spotted some rather interesting looking 'wool' in John Lewis. It's called Lumio from the company Schachenmayr. <a href="http://us.schachenmayr.com/yarns/lumio">http://us.schachenmayr.com/yarns/lumio</a><br /> It's reflective and for my stupidly sensitve skin has the bonus of being 93% acrylc 7% other fibres. I took the other fibres to be whatever the reflective stuff is.</p> <p>I have used it to knit myself a very basic scarf.<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/92124173@N03/11259773193/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7414/11259773193_e4cf007a3f.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/92124173@N03/11259773193/">Untitled</a> by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/92124173@N03/">Zenfrozt2013</a>, on Flickr </p>
