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.

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

my car would reject even that as the German mentality is ,"I am cold therefore you will be until I am ready" [cheeky]

Feel free to derby
Want
I've got a carbonfiber shift knob and it still gets cold. Not as much as the aluminum one use too.. I just use my driving, handball, weightlifting gloves....

have those too and have used for driving as well on these cold AZ mornings [thumbsup]
Nice.
I use to put my spider glove over the knob. Only reason I didn't ask the wife to make one of those is cuz I got the cf one..
Is she taking orders??
My Mercedes has a heated shift knob.
No not really, but it does have an air conditioned glove box.
I've heard of heated steering wheels on BMW's. Wouldn't surprise me if the shifters were heated too.

Win.
I spent all my money on a cnc machine shop [laugh]
no garage for me for quite some time
Given the equipment you have, you can just make a new shiftknob when the old one gets cold. [bow_down]
[laugh]
So when they get cold I should just throw them away?
[laugh]
They do get stale after a while. ;D
There's a good joke somewhere in that line. I hear a high hat cymbal in the background. [laugh]
