Skirt guards

[darkemeralds]

I just spotted a fantastic project on Ravelry: Skirt Guards! (log-in required) and on Etsy: similar skirt guards! (no log-in required).

Colorful and charming, and one of most effective uses of crochet's peculiar strengths (radial openwork, multiple colors) I've seen in a long time.

I thought some of the community might enjoy them. I did.

I've seen some of those IRL. Nifty.

Oddly, I've never seen one rolling around Portland. If my bike didn't have a built-in guard, I'd make one and be the first.

But does your built-in guard need a crocheted cover? :-)

Heh. What it needs, and what I'm working on, are felted knit handlebar mitts--like mittens, only big, and attached around the handlebars and the brakes and shifter.

Which seemed like a huge necessity when the temperature dropped down to freezing in early December. Now, it seems, we're in for a long stretch of dismal but not very cold rain and wind, so I'm not as motivated.
