Last year over 75 people worldwide knitted and crocheted poppies to adorn the "Road of Remembrance" in Folkestone, Kent for Remembrance Sunday. The project was co-ordinated by Purl Queens who would very much like to have even more donated poppies this year thus be delighted to accept either knitted or crocheted poppies from all over the world.
Personally, I think this is a wonderful project and am sure there must be other Rootschatters who would very much like to make a poppy or two in remembrance of their families involved in the great war. If you can't knit or crochet then perhaps there's a mum, granny, aunt, neighbour, friend or work colleague who could spare a little time to make one on your behalf.
All knitted or crocheted poppies should be sent to "Purl Queens, 104a Sandgate High Street, Sandgate, Folkestone, Kent, England CT20 3BY"
