They were doing this in Maffra, so introduced them to it at my Mum's hostel. They have gone gangbusters knitting them. They look stunning in real life.
Hi Lenore, The 5000 Poppies project will continue until Anzac Day next year ... 2015 ... so we are all still making making making. It's so much fun and will be absolutely amazing!!! Lynn Berry
Thank you Liz and Lynn, I can see I am going to have to get onto it myself. Funnily enough, I see my local library is going to start a craft group in July, so maybe it will come up there.
I am a community historian (ie, not paid) from Essendon. The content of my Empire Called database (see the link to the PBWorks website) is the result of nearly 25 years' research. The Empire Called blog is a companion for the PBWorks website of the same name.
Time Travellers in Essendon and Flemington is set up in the same way, with a website and a blog to report additions to the website. The website is a vehicle to publish longer pieces of research that are too long for newsletters, various indexes, and photos of local history interest. You may find something of use for your research.

ReplyDeleteTurns out my mother is knitting them as well. I don't know how she got onto it, but I will find out.
ReplyDeletePeople looking to contribute may like to see if their local public library has a craft group as many are.
