Charity Yarn Bombing 2015

thegrangerange.wordpress.com

It’s coming round again, I can’t believe it is June already. Where does time go?

This years Charity Yarn Bombing at the surgery will be on 29 and 30 August 2015Charity Yarn Bombing Banner

Last year patients, friends and family and crafters from around the globe helped us create a woolly fantasy garden in the grounds of the small GP surgery where I work raising over £1000.00, the proceeds were shared between our local hospice and the hospital.

We have commenced our regular Saturday meetings to plan and share our ideas and creations for this years woolly display. We wanted to challenge ourselves so the themes are different as listed below, although we thought it was appropriate to keep a seaside theme again as we are on the coast.

  • Dinosaur park
  • Teddy Bears Picnic
  • Down on the Farm
  • Jungle Capers
  • Beside the Seaside

Read last years post here and see the three posts showing what was acheived for last years event in Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3

If you would like to join in everyone is welcome, any contributions will be most gratefully received and put to great use. Just leave a comment or drop me an email if you would like any further information. Alternatively please stay in touch and we will share our progress with you in the coming weeks.

You may have already guessed that Stan the Stegosaurus and the crochet cave kids Magnar and Sadiki are for the Dinosaur Park and I look forward to sharing further makes with you all.

      Thank you so much for reblogging and helping us to spread the word about our project. It was supposed to be a one off event last year but patients kept asking if we were doing it again…….so here we are.

        Ok,I know what I am going to crochet. Should I block my items with some glue? I’m going to crochet fern leaves and they are flat.
        Thank you,we are well settled down! It is a very beautiful place here and so perfect for bike ride. I hope that we will stay here for long!

        It would be great if you would block with glue so your lovely leaves will be ready to use. Thank you for your valued support once again.
