I was asked if I would have time
to knit some poppies for the local British Legion. I was provided with the pattern, the yarn and
the needles!
I have knitted the whole ball of
red yarn (100g) and it made 17 poppies – 16 of which are shown below! I have still got the leaves to make and a bit
of finishing off to do – I hope to finish them today if I don’t spend too long
on the computer.
Seeing them laid out like this
reminds me of that wonderful installation at the Tower of London last
year. I do love poppies despite their
sad connotations. I remember when I was
a child - I was always pleased to see
one when it appeared in the garden.
