Last week the South Africa group on Ravelry was challenged to take part in The Little Yellow Duck Project. “The project is to raise awareness of the need for donors of blood, stem cells and organs. Little yellow ducks are being crafted in a variety of ways then left where people might find them. There are some lovely, fun, ducks which can be seen in the group and on various other social media sites.” – words by Woolhelmina on Ravelry.
Sally, who’s idea it was to start a sit and stitch group for the Northern Suburbs of Gauteng immediately took charge and has organised a little Gauteng vs Cape Town contest with loads of great prizes up for grabs. Go take a look if you want to take part!
What does all this mean though?
I’ve been thinking about it since we were challenged, can you believe that South Africa wasn’t even involved in this project until last week? And that from the country that performed the first heart transplant!
On Saturday The Yarmies are also meeting up at Lattelicious on Nelson Mandela Square for a duck making marathon. We meet from 14:00 to around 17:00 but feel free to join when ever it suites you.
