Functional Knits

Wheels and Feet

Recently, when visiting Mom, she needed a steering wheel cover because down here in the south it gets really hot and it sometimes feels like you put your hand on a hot stove burner when you get in the car to drive. Check out my version of the steering wheel cover from Debbie Stoller's book Stitch and Bitch:

I think that should do the trick!
As for other functional knits...a new pair of socks for guess who...ME!
I actually am keeping these for myself...

Designed by none other than my fabulous roommate Claudia, and this pattern is featured in another Debbie Stoller book: Son of Stitch and Bitch....patterns for men! I love these socks...knitted with Regia Cotton sock yarn.....very cool dude.

That's it for this week...school is back in, so I gotta go do homework now. Buh Bye.

Knit On...

The steering wheel cover is AWESOME! I had never thought of actually making that pattern.

Love the socks, too. Very cool! :)
