Knitting Poppies

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.
