I've been browsing through Ravelry and have come to realise that my life will not be complete without a crocheted steering wheel cover. It's bright and colourful, would keep my hands warm, and DH wouldn't be caught dead driving my car with it on

I'm also quite partial to the Geisha cat but I'm less convinced that I'd get round to making this. I know I have the wool at home to make that steering wheel cover though and it will be made this weekend DH be afraid!

Please make me feel better, I can't be the only one who finds terrible or naff or 70s stuff to craft. Come and share your secret craft ideas. Closet Macramé makers are welcome here

Ha - Ravelry - who knew a harmless knitting site could contain adult stuff

although in this weather I guess you want every bit of your anatomy to be covered

Talking of more adult patterns, is it me, or is this Batman mask just really sinister?

I told a girl at work about the steering wheel cover. "Oh, were you looking up the pattern for one?" Who the hell thinks, "ah yes, I know, I'll make a crocheted steering wheel cover, let's see if there's a pattern available." Apart from the lady who created the pattern obviously .
