Willow (she/her)So... I definitely need to crochet myself a skirt guard for my bike, right?

forestine@forestine That pattern is adorable, right??
consumableJoy@MsHearthWitch OBVIOUSLY
@consumablejoy I even have the yarn for it - altho not 100% sure I have the colours I'll want. Will have the check the stash.
AmgineOh no!
You could sew one, or knit one, probably basket-weave one… Not sure about pottery, but definitely tin work and wood working!
There are probably a thousand #maker ways to do this!
but that crocheted one looks pretty cool!

@Amgine Not sure I understand the "oh no!" but yes, there are many ways I've seen folks "solve the problem" of long skirts and bikes!
More intended as "Oh! No! you don't have to do it *that* way… we can make the decision-making much more challenging!"
I can make a hat, I can make a brooch, I can make a pterodactyl…, (quote from the movie Airplane, comedy spoof of disaster films, in respose to the question: What do you make of this?)
@Amgine Oooo okay. I understand!
I do like the look of the crochet one altho I know it'll take a while. I might see about cobbling a fabric one together for the meantime as I love wearing long skirts.
Of course now I am wondering if I can find stainless steel wire flexible enough to knit something like it. But then I would have to get skirts to justify it.
Or not, if it looks cool.
Heidi@MsHearthWitch 100% YES!!
Hisses with Geese 🌱@MsHearthWitch first time seeing something like this, it’s adorable!
@dasparky Yeah I started searching for options as I assumed that women riding bikes in long skirts is a thing.
