Title: My car's shift knob isnt freezing anymore Post by: Monsterlover on December 17, 2011, 08:44:32 AM Since its cold out now the shift knob in my car os absolutely freezing. The V6/6spd accords have a metal shift knob and every time I grab it it tries to extract my soul through my palm.
I asked Rootchick for a knitter's solution. Here's what she came up with. (http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz67/rootchick/photobucket-2986-1323565214183.jpg) She published the pattern on Ravelry.com and named the pattern Hell on Wheels [laugh] It works great. I get to keep my soul :D Title: Re: My car's shift knob isnt freezing anymore Post by: lethe on December 17, 2011, 08:47:12 AM Since its cold out now the shift knob in my car os absolutely freezing.
