The end result is this Campervan Bag which I’ve based on the VW Splitscreen. The V shaped nose seemed to lend itself perfectly to becoming the flap for the front […]

Knit your own Campervan
Have you ever wanted to knit your own campervan? I couldn’t resist having a go at knitting a 3D campervan. The campervan is made using double knitting yarn and surrounds a framework of plastic canvas. At 30cm long there is plenty of room in there for a mini teddy or two. Just think of all […]

Crochet your own Campervan
Up until now most of my Campervan projects have been knitted so I thought it was time to give crochet a go. I’ve had the idea of making a 3D model of a Campervan in the back of my mind for a while and crochet seemed like a great way to make something pretty structured. […]

Doodling with yarn
Sat at HandPicked Hall yesterday I started doodling with yarn, like you do, and found myself crocheting a flower garland (or is it bunting?). Either way, it helped to keep me occupied and also seemed a good way to use up this odd bits of yarn. I thought you might like to have a go […]
