I helped Knit a River

There have been many previous entries about Water Aid and the Knit a River campaign. Today saw the first outing of the complete project.

It was great to meet up with Water Aid supporters, Knitting friends, sewing up friends and the general public!

A fantastic day out - we paraded the river through London. I wimped out of the walking and travelled in style on the top deck of a bus! I waved to thousands of people and smiled so much my face hurts - how does the Queen do it?

All my photos can be seen here

What a fantastic achievement. It looks like it was a brilliant day. Well done to everyone who knitted the squares, and even more to the people who sewed it altogether.....

Wow. That is so fab. I knitted up a couple of squares ages ago but never had any more involvement. I'm so glad it came to fruition - let's hope it makes some difference !

Thanks for the pictures Yvonne. What a great effort by all who participated. Out of interest, any idea how long and heavy it was?

How lovely to see the river. It is so big which is a wonderful tribute to knitters, sewers and organisers.

Tell Minnie that there is a Holy cow in Wales that is not very well - he's called Shambo and lives in at Skanda Vale Temple in Carmarthenshire .....
