Knitting 4 Heroes


Today I went to the Knitting 4 Heroes Exhibition in Hereford. It was a very impressive display with the pieces of work being donated by knitters across the country. The flag was of course the centre piece of the exhibition and the scale of it was sooo impressive.

If you knit please check out these links as the next project has already begun and they need 450 donated squares in greens to make a commemorative wreath.

    Oh thanks for posting this, Jo, I didn't know anything about it. I've got a nephew serving in Afghanistan at the minute so Help for Heroes is close to my heart. Will have a look at the links.

    PS Love the Union flag pants!!!

    What a great cause - I love seeing knitting used in more contemporary and fun ways. The flag is amazing.

    This is lovely Jo, I saw her on the news with the flag, didn't realise it was so near or I would have gone. I'm not very good at knitting but have saved the link as a square should be within even my skills lol.

    Brilliant to see it all at the exhibition - the ladies here at Loving Hands have been so happy to be part of this project - the heart shaped cushions with the white edgings are actually crocheted and were made by our Lorraine - she made loads of these over the last few months bless her ;0) Looking forward to the exhibition making it's way up to Scotland so we can see it too!
