Shift Knob Cover

[jri4]

I'd been looking for a solution to the freezing cold/burning hot knob conundrum, and found that a few people had knitted covers for their shift knobs. I eventually found a pattern for one and had my girlfiend's mom knit me up a prototype. It worked pretty well, and with a few minor modifications, I finally have the final piece. Now my hands stay a nice temperate degree while shifting. What do you think?

Nice. I'm currently in the process of knitting one for my shift knob as well.

have to say the cover looks pretty cool. nice knitting skills from your gf's mom this looks like the stock knob tho, which is mostly covered with pleather.

That looks cool and nice.

I'm using the knob sock I purchased for my Subaru on the Speed3 these days. Got it for a couple bucks in the bebeh section

I must say...not to much of a fan...looks kind of tacky IMO...but if it works...

I just slip my golf glove over the knob when its that hot/cold

These would make much better knob warmers in my opinion, and they're said to be very lucky; all those in possession of one are assured a long life, happiness and healthy children.: (hand)

Just wear gloves. I like the idea, but it makes your car look like it smokes doobies. But definitely a good job on the red stitching.

i just suck it up, the temp. warms up or cools off fast in my opinion

Just wear gloves.

My car smokes a lot of doobies... but I call 'em Hondas.
