My Mum thought us to knit, crochet and sew from the age of 4   and today I have been send a lovely present,…..with a twist.



I had received an email asking for my postal address and this is what I got…



It is all to do with the Vodafone ad that came about when Eilish Tuite, a student from Limerick IT, wanted to cheer up Ireland!

LIT,
Clare st,
Limerick,
Ireland
=======================================
Their Aim:

What we want to do is cover an empty building in Limerick City with approximately 3,000 knitted patches, patches that have been knitted all over the country and sent to us by the community. The patches will be A4 in size and once 3,000 have been collected, they will be stitched together to create a blanket over the entire building. Limerick and Ireland is in some serious need of cheering up and this will do just the trick. The project is being supported by Vodafone Irelands Cheer up Ireland campaign. When the project has been completed, the blanket will be separated into smaller knitted blankets which will then be donated to the St. Vincents Community. The charity is very deserving and has helped a lot of people in Ireland, and that’s why this project will give something back to them.
