Raise money for The Martlets by knitting!
| February 20, 2011 | to | August 20, 2011 |
Cocoon Knits in Hove has launched an appeal to raise money for the Martlets by yarn bombing an open top Brighton double decker bus – so get knitting.
Cocoon are calling on experienced, beginners or just curious knitters to pick up their needles and help. Each participant will collect sponsors and knit a minimum of three 15cm x 15cm squares. Knit any colour or combination of pattern you wish.
To celebrate the end of the project The Woolly Bus will be driven along Brighton seafront on the 20th August with contributors and guests aboard. After the event all blankets will be broken down and sent to Africa with the help of Knit a Square charity to help keep AIDS orphans warm.
The aim is to raise over £40,000 for the Martlets Hospice.
For a sponsorship pack please either collect a form from any Martlets shop or Cocoon, 10 George Street, Hove or email your name, address and email to: hayley@cocoonknits.co.uk
All aplicants do need to register first.
