Dear Janice and other Friends,
April 25th is ANZAC Day here in Australia and so I've spent today
making one of your red Remembrance Day Poppies. It's really come out
well, so tomorrow I shall make another for my best mate Des which we
can then wear as we march in Adelaide, South Australia where our
entire Battalion is having its first ever reunion since Vietnam in 1970.
I have to say though, that as I worked it, I couldn't help but think
what a great project this would make for a beginner!! You can easily
finish one in a day; you'd learn hanging on and throwing out pairs;
cloth stitch and twists and end up with a useful object. Plus, for
me, it finally got rid of some thick old red crochet cotton I'd been
hanging on to for years awaiting the right project. :)
I'm sure Janet won't mind me mentioning her website again:-
