I won't be at Old Mo's so I am not sure why @movan tagged me. @Puddleduck I am going to the Lymington Seafood Rally and the Upton Blues Festival and the FFF meets. I was wondering if you are going to any of those as if so I could pass on my poppies to you.

I am now officially one of the gang of poppy makers - yay! I bought the last 100g ball of red yarn from Wilko at £1 a ball. I want to see how many poppies I can make from the one ball.

I went to Diss Quilters today and there was yet another appeal for incubator quilts so I may turn my attention to that appeal. I have lots of lovely children's fabrics but I will need to get cotton wadding as these little quilts are boiled before being handed over. With all these appeals we could all be occupied for years.

No, they are great! Size really isn't important except not too small please

@Ambilkate your poppies are fine I think the minimum size is 2'' across - please correct me if I'm wrong @Puddleduck

Well, even I have had a look, watched a few you tube videos, thought I can do that. Did the same with ukelele last year, now play at a jam every second week and a beginners and improvers alternate week. About 120 of us at the jam each time. Need something else that' a bit different, so will get my kit in the next few days. Fingers crossed,

Hi Joy and all the other crafters,

I am fine but been busy in Beni with my sister for a couple of weeks (she flew in to see us) and now we are at Calpe to recover Spent a lovely day yesterday with @BreweryDave and Jackie.

I am working on a skinny scarf now and will do poppies in between, I have a little black and purple yarn left but still need to get some red. Apologies for my slacking

[movan]

Anyone else struggle finding black wool in charity shops? It's costing me a fortune in proper wool shops ...

Looks like soon be party time ... @scottie have to say really admire you taking up the challenge here ... all these wimmin. Good on you.

The rest of you men ... shame on you.

And done ...

They are all with the Aldi dark red wool but look pinkish on the photos.

I've yet to acquire black wool or buttons for the centre's. I've then got a job to do to finish them all off. 'Twill be done tho'

 

[Ambilkate]

Is it worth putting on fun @movan asking funsters to look out for red and black wool for us whilst on their travels?
