3 new groups joining in the project - a craft club who meet at a community centre are going to make seagulls, a dog, flowers, maybe a fungi log. One lady had a wonderful idea which was to make a green man - I was thinking he could be just made from lots of individual leaves sewn onto a cotton, stuffed body shape - could be wonderful but need someone to help me do him! Any offers???

The second group is a day centre in Christchurch who want to make a patio garden area and the third group is a day centre in Bournemouth who want to make lots of ivy and vines......... oohhh all so exciting.

And I have just made some lemons for one of the trees. Need to do more work on my knitted wheelbarrow now.

School joining in too and a youth club and Portland and Weymouth via a community development worker.
And the article in Knit Today is published and on the shelves!!

Knitting a cauliflower in memory of her mum

Just been sent this wonderful story:

Diane Blackburn, a participant in this project, who is part of the Sway Ewe-to-Ewe knitting group says:

"My mum, Elsie Moore, would have loved this project - my inheritance from her was a bag of left over balls of wool and since there is a creamy colour and a fluffy green one I can, I hope produce a cauli in her memory".
