Knit or Crochet a Poppy for the Anzac Centenary 2015

I was searching for inspiration for my first blog post when I came across the 5000 Poppies website.


The call has gone out to crafters to contribute to this project. Over 100,000 poppies are needed for a display to commemorate the Anzac Centenary, 2014 to 2018.

The poppies will be "planted" in Federation Square, Melbourne, for Anzac Day, 2015, as a tribute to Australian servicemen and women, not just those who served in the First World War, but all those who have served over the last 100 years. This will be an awesome sight.

To be included in this display, poppies are required by 15 March 2015. With over three months before the deadline, there is still plenty of time to contribute to this worthy project. All the details are on the website.
