TOFT’s crochet textile installation #CrochetJungle is back, taking over The Clothes Show at Birmingham’s NEC between 4th and 8th December 2015 to raise funds for Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity. The #CrochetJungle first made an appearance at The Spring Knitting and Stitching Show in March 2015, raising £1,500.
The #CrochetJungle is a ‘wild’ collaborative craft project being created to inspire imaginations, teach adults and children how to crochet and to raise money for great causes. Drop by to learn how to crochet and get involved in building the ‘jungle’. You will also have the chance to meet TOFT founder, Kerry Lord, on the stand.
As part of #CrochetJungle, crafter Kerry has designed an easy-to-make exclusive monkey pattern which you can download here: https://www.justgiving.com/crochetjungle/ (suggested donation £3). The monkey crochet pattern will be sent to you via PDF within 24 hours of your donation.
Kerry Lord is the designer and author of the Edward’s Menagerie crochet series. Founder of the TOFT knitwear brand, she was inspired to learn to crochet during her first pregnancy. Her #CrochetJungle project hopes to ignite the imagination of all who experience it, as well as encouraging children who have picked up their grandma’s hooks to ‘loom band’ to take their hobby further.
Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity raises funds to enhance the experience of its patients by providing state of the art medical equipment and facilities and creating a child friendly environment.
