A quick update on what I’ve been doing lately! November and December are always a bit crazy in my world. I had two markets that were both pretty successful, but left me feeling a bit blah as far as crocheting goes.

After the Christmas rush I needed something fun to work on. My niece had asked me to make her a steering wheel cover a while back (and she just happens to have a birthday at the end of December) so I decided it was time to figure that one out. I found a couple patterns I liked, then mashed them up a bit to come up with what I wanted and loved the results. I was able to finish it just in time to give it to her for her birthday.

My daughter wanted one for her car also. As I was going through my yarn stash to find the right colors, I realized I had the perfect blue to match my new(ish) car so I whipped one up for myself too!

These are so fun and gives the car a nice splash of character! Plus, with the snow and freezing cold temps we’ve had this last week, it feels a bit nicer than gripping a freezing cold steering wheel. 🥶

I’m pretty sure I’ll be making more of these soon, but as This time of year is also the perfect time for cozy makes so I’m working on a new sweater and need to finish up a couple of blanket projects I’ve had going for quite a while now.

I’ll get around to taking that Christmas tree down eventually…

These guys are ready for the Big Game this weekend! They are currently available in my shop for local pickup in the KC area, or can be shipped, but not guaranteed to arrive before Sunday’s big match-up. Being from KC, I have to root for the Chiefs and Taylor’s Boyfriend! Who are you rooting for?
