Hi Laura,
Thanks so much for the poppy pattern. I love that Remembrance Day (Veteran’s Day here) is still observed with so much respect there in Canada. I remember people here wearing poppies here when I was a child (a looooong time ago). Wonder why that tribute to our veterans has faded away? Well anyway, I’m going to make a poppy and wear it Wed. Maybe I’ll get some questions about why I’m wearing it, and I’ll be happy to explain. My dad was a veteran of W W II and fought through D Day and into Europe for 3 years, so it’s the least I can do, isn’t it?
Blessings,
G

My grandma used to recite this poem to me. I think I’ll knit her a poppy and mail it to her. Thank you for encouraging others to remember.
