New and Improved

The weather has been turning colder...So thus I thought it time for some improvements to my helmet. I added a skirt to the back of it to protect my ears and neck, but then my face still froze. So, logically I got back on the drawing board to see if I could solve the problem with some leftover yarn I had. Well I found this swell Yellow yarn, and being the swell engineer that I am, I designed a great face covering that will still let me see the road while biking. Then I got to thinking, after reading some of the comments from my last post, "Hey! I may not be able to wear my Board shirt when it is freezing cold, but I wear my Helmet almost every day; Perhaps I could put the Board on my Helmet." So I did. It isn't in the Board's colors, nor is it very fancy, but I made it myself. Now I can show my appreciation for the Board whether it is cold (Helmet), or warm (T-shirt)! My guess is pretty soon everyone is going to want one, or at the very least start putting the "100 Hour Board" on everything they wear...Honestly who wouldn't? My next project is to get the letters to move like the flash object on the 100 Hour Board home page, and display "My questions...Your answers!" I am thinking that might be hard to do with just crocheting, but it's worth a shot.



P.S. For all of you wondering the particulars, it is a 16 stitches by 19 rows of a double half crochet stitch. I attached it perpendicularly on the right side (if you are wearing it) then used two buttons to attach it to the other side so it can also be removed, and slung across the back of the neck and buttoned for storage (aka. while not biking...but then again I may just wear it like this all the time). *sigh* the 100 Hour Board is Great.

Wally---I am so super impressed with your crocheting skills! When I go home for Christmas, I will be sure to grab my own crochet hook and bring it back with me. Wonderful hobby. I really like your 100 Hour Board promotion idea... good thinking.

You know what would be beyond awesome? Board sweatshirts. I would so buy one. Possibly even two, just for good measure. Hmm, maybe I'll talk to someone about this....

Anyway.... :^P
