Crotchet VW bus – Virka en folkabuss

I just had to try if I could follow this pattern and crotchet my own VW bus. I had to translate the Netherland language to Swedish. I think it went pretty well.

Here’s my crotchet bus and you see the pattern picture under the bus.

Jag provade att virka en folkabuss utifrån ett nederländskt mönster. Jag lyckades översätta så pass mycket att mitt försök att virka en buss nu ser ut så här. Bilden från mönstret ser ni under min virkade buss.

If you want to give it a try. You find the pattern here.

Vill du också försöka finner du mönstret här.

Crotchet things are fun!

Now I smell more trouble ;)

Ops, I crochet one more minion and the little bear Tim. I will never grow up, this is too much fun 😉

Anna

I smell trouble ;)

I couldn’t resist crotchet this little friend 🙂

Now they are four

My idiot project is one little dog further. I think you all know how many I have left. This is a completely useless project, but it is fun to crotchet and it’s an idiot challenge that amuses me.

I know, I’m a weirdo 😉

We need more Yodas in the world…

…so I crochet one

I used one of Mia Bengtsons pattern from her first book and changed the colors and added the Yoda things.

Idiot project?

Why did I crocheted the first one? 

Because it was fun 🙂

Why did I put black dots on the dog?

Because I remembered a story from my childhood.

Why did I do another dog almost just the same?

And a third one? 

Have you yet figured out how many I have left to crochet?

Is this an idiot project?

Or am I an idiot who thinks this is worth the effort?

Amigurumi artists

If you take a walk in Trosa Sweden along Västra Långgatan this Easter you can see these amigurumis in the windows of a house near by Nilssons Bageri.

This is a co-work with my sisters. We crotchet the dolls and I painted the paintings and artwork.

Midsummer in Sweden 2015

This weekend celebrates Sweden midsummer. Originally a pagan tradition, which has survived the test of time and still celebrates the summer solstice. This year, the celebration seems to get done in the persistent rain.
