Meet the Knitters!!

I thought it would be great to show some of your fab camper vans. Meet two ladies who have recently whipped up these fantastic delights with my pattern...

Above Orange & Lime Camper Vans.......

…..Hi, my name is Julia and I currently live in South Yorkshire, UK. I was looking for a potential gift for my son’s birthday when I found Leah’s knitted Camper Van pattern. Not only would it make an ideal handmade gift but it would also satisfy my new found knitting obsession. I made an orange version for my son’s birthday. When my friend saw the finished “VW” she asked if I could possibly make one in lime green as a gift for her son and daughter in law, who happen to own a life size lime green camper van. The van number plates offered a chance to “customize” the piece in embroidery with the names of the couple and I made a few other slight modifications on the wheels. The knitted surfboard attached to the top makes the ideal accessory because the “knitted VW” owners also like to do a bit of surfing in real life too.

Above Bright Blue Camper Van....

a little about me… My name is Rebekah I live in Eastern Washington, USA with my wonderful Husband of 12 years. I started knitting about 3 years ago. I picked this pattern because we just bought a 1968 VW Bug that we are in the process of fixing up. I really want a Van so this was to spur the old hubs into finishing the bug faster so we could buy the camper van. The second van I made was for a fellow blogger who is the VW Queen. She liked mine so much I had to make her one. You can find me blogging at www.sweetbe.blogspot.com
