A Crochet Gift for my Lovely 'New to Me' Bike

It is not quite a Ta Dah!  Hence a Henry off left holding balls of yarn!
I wish this had have been a 'Ta Dah' as I spent 30 minutes in the saddle this morning.  Euan and I had a fun cycle around our local lake.  I am loving this 'seat cover'.  I have heavily improvised and worked from a picture but I am delighted with the results.  I had no idea the 'Blue' would be such a good match for the bike.  Here is a pattern I found this morning, when I have almost reached completion of my prototype.  Crochet Bicycle Seat Cover - Pattern   I quickly ran out to take photographs for you as now we are in the midst of a heavy thunder storm.  Euan is fascinated by the lightening, then we had to run out and tempt the chickens back to bed with corn.  They were reluctant but are all safely tucked up in their coop now.
Henry thinks my seat cover is hilarious but I am 100% certain it is the way to go!  I have more crochet lovliness planned for this bike.  It will be built for comfort and certainly not for speed.  No bareback riding for me.  Oh no!
  Oooh I just noticed my foot in shot!  Doh I would never make a photographer!  (I am a bit of a hobbit and spend more than half of my life barefoot).
              I hope you are having a great weekend.  I will be popping to my parents shortly.  They make the best cups of tea!  xxx
