Or ever told Piccasso to use up all his paints before buying more! Helping the homeless is good, but would you take one of your own works apart to reknit for the homeless?

How many yards did it take? What kind of yarn did she use & what size needle? (I'm not gonna make one, I'm just curious!) I live in Minnesota & drive a little black car. I think a bright lime green or sunny yellow would be adorable! My car gets really cold - right now it's 1 degree below zero. I would imagine that to wash it you would go through a brush-less car wash? Wouldn't it be fun if someone knit a car cozy where the windows were left unknit so you could actually drive around with it! It would be cute on an old VW Beetle! With a giant daisy embroidered on the hood! Pamela I think Cynthia’s Car Cozy is fabulous! How many yards did it take? What kind of yarn did she use & what size needle?

Your car cozy moved me to wonder how I can open up your head, ladle out some of your creativity, and pour it into my own head! This is way cool!! Thank you for expanding my box...I'd have never thought 'knitting' a cover for my car. I'd like to see it done with no seams also...that would be some kind of challange. Love & hugs.

And it does make several social comments. I just hope after the display was finished she was able to make blankets for the homeless shelters or something, with all that wool. Rather like that artist who used to swath islands in pink fabric, okay cute I get the social comment but now what are you going to do that's useful with it? Well, art is art, I suppose.

On the other hand, will consider taking measurements and doing something in a washable yarn. The birds at my office just love doing a number on my car and it would be nice to have a stylish response. the car cozy is adorable. we should make gm offer them with all of their cars.
