Mrs iolo is a knitting guru and gives many knitting courses in various beautiful locations throughout the Austrian Alps. I have a dream of getting somewhere to run as an MTB lodge.
Speaking to my better half, this could be a thing in the not too distant future. Would the concept of mountain biking and knitting work be something you guys think might work – one partner goes biking while the other knits and learns new techniques and gets expert advice? Would this be something that might appeal and might make it easier to get a biking holiday out of it? It would be in the Austrian Alps somewhere.

No.

maybe, but in the Uk. what about the kids? My wife is a crochet Guru! got patterns in several magazines and is hoping to give up work and go crochet full time!

MTB & coffee…yep. Better make it strong, last night was a big one…
MTB & beer….for sure…landlord, same again!
MTB & pies….why yes Sir….don’t mind if I do.

MTB & knitting……can I get back to you on that?….

ask her about the people who come to her knitting courses, and more specifically about their partners

Both are fairly niche hobbies so a couple that’s sufficiently into both must be bloody rare

She has many in their 30s to 40s. Apparently, knitting is quite cool here in Austria.

Mine Too, she’s a crochet mega nerd, 30 odd thousand followers on Instagram!

Knitted helmet covers?

Magical mystery tour via yarnbombed trees as signposts?

Oh yes, this absolutely appeals to me – I’ll be back in touch as soon as I find that dream knitting husband I’ve been searching so long for.
