GREAT bonnet, btw. Just be sure your head stays whole to wear it.

Well it is Portland, and we are going to end at a craft distiller. And just to give a taste of the group I'll be riding with, look at their Flicker pool. Very few helmets in the crowd.

Your bonnet is great! Anne Gilmour is the designer of this lovely bonnet. You may also want to check out some other "kilty" knits she's designed, like her "He Mo Leanan" Kilt Hose....awesome!!!!

With all the congratulatory notes, my bonnet is starting to get a wee bit tight.

That is a really nice bonnet. Is that grosgrain around the bottom? How does that feel?

It felt pretty good yesterday while out bicycling in Portland. I only took it off while crossing the Broadway bridge, as the wind was gusting in the direction that would have blown it into the river if it had come off.
Or for view of how I pulled it off, see this thread.
