Help needed!
Are you an avid
knitter? Or even just a beginner? Do you have a ball of spare wool and a little
bit of time? Could you help?
Flowers, in any
shape, colour and style wanted to compile bunches of flowers to give to people
with long term medical conditions and disabilities. This is because flowers in the hospital
environment has been proven to be beneficial to patients long term outcomes,
resulting in less analgesia and reduced hospital stay, as well as improved
level of comfort and happiness. However
real flowers have long since been banned in UK hospitals for a variety of
reasons including the increase risk of infection
All flowers will be gratefully
received and will become part of these fabulous bouquets to raise a little bit
of hope through bloom. Patterns can be found in a variety of places, [please
see the pattern page]. We are a not for profit group and all bouquets are
donated free of charge. Please email hopeandbloom@gmail.com for a postal
address or for further details on how you can help. Unfortunately
we are unable to refund any postage costs.
[The majority of
flowers knitted by myself do not have a knitted stem but one added [wool
covered wood stick] to ensure they can stand upright, wire is added to knitted
stems to achieve same effect so flowers with or without stems are both welcome.
Each bouquet is made up of between 10 & 20 flowers depending on shape and
size and each bouquet is completely different, as reflected in nature.]
if you would like to help us raise money for local causes and towards hopeandblooms postage costs then please visit my ebay selling page, which sells a varitey of items towards great causes! including knitted brooch's.
Thankyou in advance
to help people find hope in bloom.

hope and bloom]
