Hi. I’m knitting some poppies for you. Have you thought about having some made in purple to represent the animals who have lost their lives in the wars?
Hi Liz,
Thank you so much for getting involved! Yes, some people are indeed making purple and white poppies. DO please feel free to send these in if it’s something you’d like to do.
