Anybody seen those knitted poppies blanketing the lawns down to the Royal Hospital - amazing, 300k of them have been made, a couple of Ozzie women starting the project?

Anybody from here knit one......?

Then there's that mad Harrods British Eccentrics garden - almost puts Lewis Carroll to shame, the work of the crazy Irish designer.

We had the knitted poppies last year, DT. There still there around the clock.

the ones at the tower were glass ones I think......

though yours are more local and could well have fed into this Commonwealth/global effort....
I saw them on the TV earlier DTC, they look fab. I wish I had known about it, I might have knitted one myself!

And the Eccentrics garden looked great fun. No doubt it will be critisised by the purists, but I loved it.

well, it was certainly different.

The poppies though, brill, I bet her Nibs goes over there for a quick gander. Hope she does.
Went to see the Tower of London ceramic poppies - they were amazing and I bought two for my grandsons which have pride of place in the garden during the summer. My daughter also knits poppies for Remembrance Sunday for which she asks for a donation. All money raised goes to Help for Heroes and the Earl Haig poppy appeal. She has raised quite a lot over the past three years.
