If you remember we talked about our project sagas on Saturday. Here is a project that the knitting and crocheting world can be proud of. A whole group of Australians knit and crocheted a field of poppies for fallen soldiers that was then displayed at the Chelsea Flower Show. Watch the video of when the Queen visited here: https://au.news.yahoo.com/video/watch/31679427/garden-designers-show-of-prized-work-at-chelsea-flower-show/
