Pam and I are off to the MS 150 this weekend, photos and posts to follow, and I leave you with this fabulous knitted bike sent to us by Zannestar
I can’t read the text either, but the kickstand really finishes the piece off and reminds me of the knitted ear warmers.
Good job on id’ing the craft — here’s a crocheted bike for you to enjoy:

to answer your question from July, the best way to distinguish knitting vs crochet (as a finished object) is that knitting usually has predominately horizontal rows — sometimes not — and always has stitches that look like “V”s (again, sometimes distorted). Crochet is more flexible and generally the stitches do look more complex, as each one is a hooked knot of sorts. Crochet stitches tend to be longer and skinner and rarely do you see the “V” shape. Look at a t-shirt and you’ll see little “V”s—it’s knitted fabric, much stretchier than crochet.
To identify whether someone’s knitting or crocheting, you generally look for needles (usually 2)—knitting—or a hook (almost always just 1)—crocheting.
Hi
