RBL Appeal for knitted & crotched poppies

RBL Logo Legion

Calling all #Knitters and #Crocheters! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is detailed below in the RBL post!

Get cracking with those needles and hooks!


From the RBL Facebook Page:

“Are you #TeamKnit or #TeamCrochet?

Whichever side you take, your handmade poppy could support the vital work that the Royal British Legion does for the Armed Forces Community ❤️

Send us your completed poppies by mid-October, and they could be part of our London Poppy Day remembrance displays.”

See their Facebook video here.
