Cocoon Knits in Hove have organised a yarnbombing of a Brighton double decker bus to raise money for the Marlets Hospice. This basically means we are aiming to cover an entire bus with knitted squares! Find out more about the event here.

We are aiming to raise £40,000 for the Marlets who provide end of life care to adults with life limiting illness. After the event, the blankets will be broken down and sent to the Knit a Square charity which helps AIDS orphans keep warm. 

Each volunteer has to knit at least 3 15 x 15cm squares and raise £25. I'm aiming to knit at least 10 squares and raise at least £100. I've also volunteered to help sew the squares together to create the giant "bus cosy". 

 

Please sponsor me and help raise money for the excellent Marlets charity. I'll keep the site updated with pictures of my progress.
