EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST

I am seeking 10 peeps (volunteers) to knit/crochet for an indigenous palliative care project in Heywood called "Journey to Dreaming". I have spoken with the coordinator and the gift pack includes
- knee rugs
- fingerless gloves
- beanies and
- scarves
There is 2 colour palettes
1. Black, red, yellow
2. Natural wool colours - browns, greys, creams
I have wool (of course) to supply and this will be an ongoing project, I believe.

Let me know if you're interested and we can chat patterns.

C R A F T I V I S M
Once a tennis player, now a swimmer.
A genius repurpose, if it's still swimming...

Yarn bombing is an act of defiance in loose general terms, bringing the inside world to the outside world, it was belittled by the wool purists, as a waste of time, effort, resource and $s.
It's that quiet making of ones point that I am nodding my head at.

I'm loving what I see here.
We're all about our little town communities here at WWF and hope you are successful with your stance Glenthompson.

Wool, that looks as new as the day it was made!
