Attention Gransknitters!

I've got a lovely red felt poppy that I bought in a hand craft shop. I wear it every year and send a donation to the British Legion poppy appeal.

I found this post for crocheted poppies it does say give a donation. www.misslavenders.co.uk/post/remembrance-crochet-poppy

Those are brilliant! Well done crafters of Grays!

BTW, can anyone send a link to a knitting pattern for Christmas post box toppers? I’ve googled but although there are masses of photos, I’ve yet to find a pattern.
So much yarn to use up, I’m idly thinking of making one for the PB near Gdcs’ house.

Brush with watered down PVA or ModPodge and they should be resistant to rain in the short-term

Yes, they are crocheted, but Gransknitters is inspired .

They look really great and are very clever, but I would never knit something like that, as yes, they would spoil in the rain, and if I didn't want to make something for me or my family to wear I would knit something more practical for charity.

I totally agree Doodledog!

They're in Grays in Essex I believe. It was posted yesterday on a FB page for Postbox toppers.

They look fabulous and always cheer me up when I see them. Sorry I don't know where they are.

I think they look good and if they help with the sale of poppies that is a bonus.

It's probably to do with the launch of the annual Poppy appeal and Remembrance Ceremonies.

Great bollards! I bet they turn a few heads.

I don't know where they are. I was hoping it was the work of some clever 'crafty' Gran. I found the picture in Twitter.

Where are they. They look great but I always wonder what happens when they get soaked in the rain. Round here we have just a post box which has been covered a while.
