This colorful knitted art car named “Sonja” has received much attention driving around the roads Oppdal Norway. A Simca Talbot 1982 model, has in fact been covered from head lamp to tailpipe in woolen garments, nice and cozy in preparation for the cold winter nights.
A couple of years ago Sonja Shoes Heim, Brit Elin Rønning and Mary covered a bike with colorful knitted work that has so far withstood the Norwegian weather. They took up the knitted art car project this year in response to questions about taking up a larger project. After finding a suitable coupe they went at it and were able to completed the project within several months and results were fantastic.
