| Gigantic red poppy under construction |
Since our last workshop we've been sorting out poppies. And including all big & small poppies - it's official - there's a thousand. (Loud fanfare please.) How fantastic is that - and rather more than expected! We've had to make our poppy twice as gigantic and had to enlist extra help (thanks so much Helen, Kate & Lily for attaching hundreds of poppies!)
So here's just a sneaky peek at what to expect ...
Gigantic poppies - above and below - knitted, stitched & crocheted by the local community

The Poppies in the Park Yarnstorming Installation goes up in Rowntree Park on Thursday 11 June 2015 and will be up until after the Rowntree Park Birthday Party on 12 July 2015.
Come on down - it's going to be great!
Poppies in the Park has been sponsored by the Friends of Rowntree Park, Boyes & Duttons for Buttons and wouldn't have been possible without all the fabulous poppy making plus arm and finger knitting by the local community at workshops and at home. Poppy makers of York - you're the best!
