Community Eye Candy: Tour de France
July 7th, 2015
If you come to my house in July, you will likely find coverage of the Tour de France on my television. I am no expert, but I love watching the riders meet the immense challenges that they encounter and seeing the beautiful shots of the areas they ride in. For today’s eye candy, I am featuring projects for each Tour jersey.
The White Jersey: Best young rider

Each year while the Tour de France happens, spinners also come together on Ravelry to challenge themselves in different ways as a part of the Tour de Fleece. It’s fun to watch the beautiful yarn that is created in the Tour gallery, even if you don’t participate.
