5000 POPPIES 
Hello! I am a complete beginner- have never crocheted and am only just learning the very basics of knitting. I read about this and would really like to be involved, but would it be appropriate for some like myself to come along, or do I need to learn more first?
Come long Bec … We can help you to learn.
Lynn
Great, thank you! I’m very keen to learn and help be part of this 🙂
I’m a lone Poppy knitter. 10 poppies send off on Thursday. Rainy Sunday today and I’m on the next batch of 10 Poppies. They will be on its way Monday.
Love to join you, but I’m in Tassie. As soon as I got to hear about the 5000 Poppies Project, I stopped my current knitting object and got started. I keep going until I run out of yarn, buttons or my fingers getting too sore. Love the photos coming in of all the Poppies. I’m with all of you, if only
on the Internet. Job well done all of you.

Wonderful to have you on board Vera … there are many poppy makers in Tasmania … the most active group is in Launceston … I know that’s not particularly convenient but you could connect periodically with them. Are you on facebook … can you connect with our facebook page … they meet regularly.
Lynn
Hi Lynn,
I’m not a Facebook user and have no page. Also getting to Launceston is a problem.
I’m just happy to muddle along by myself and send my poppies in, when ever I have made enough. I will closely follow the progress and hope the goal will be reached.
Happy Poppy making everybody.
Vera
Thanks Vera, Received your first batch yesterday … they are lovely (as are all the poppies I have received). I look forward to displaying them in early November for the launch of the project and then again in April 2015. Regards, Lynn

Hi Lynn,
You should get my second batch by the end of this week. I’m working on my third now. (got to get some more yarn first)
I’m so glad to hear, (Cameron Wilson interview with you) that we have reached 2000 Poppies.
I managed to get three more ladies from Campbell Town on-board. They will work towards 2015.
I’m confident that you will get 60.000 Poppies by then. I already try to picture this in my mind. What a wonderful photo this would make. I enjoy my poppy making; It is such a good project.
Congratulations to you and all the ladies working on this.
Best wishes and happy poppy making.
Vera
