Poppies for Remembrance

The Canadians and the British are two countries that use the Poppy as a symbol for Remembrance. I find that very fitting in my life, as I have also always associated this beautiful, natural flower with some very important people in my life. 

Just recently we lost someone very dear & close to us. I knit up a few of these poppies for people very close to me...to help them remember others in their lives as well. 

I plan to attach pins to the back so they can be worn as a lapel. This simple pattern turned into so much more once completed. It was an easy challenge as a knitter, but a wonderful outcome!! This is what knitting is all about!!!
