Remembrance

[Dalboy]

I had a idea to make or should I say turn a poppy as it is that time of the year so I dug out some tulip wood and beech I had laying around.
I know it is a copy of The Royal British Legion poppy, Now it is finished I will take it to a local branch and give it to them to do as they like with it this Thursday.

It measures 7" at its widest and 6 3/4" from top to bottom as seen in the first picture. The poppy is 5"

C & C most welcome

A one off, for the local British Legion, would probably be ok but then there was the Poppy knitter accused of breaching copyright

A knitting enthusiast from London has been accused of breaching copyright after selling her homemade poppies online.

In order to mark Remembrance Day, Phyllis Ramage, from Edgware, chose to handknit red poppies for this month's appeal, raising money for the Royal British Legion (RBL).
…
She designed a pattern and decided to sell the poppies online on eBay, giving 100 per cent of the proceeds to RBL.

These included classic red woollen ones and silver flowers, which altogether raised a total of £160 for charity.

But, after transferring the money direct to RBL's bank account, the lecturer received an email from the online auction site saying the charity had reported her for breaching their copyright.
