Once again the Hurst Hookers have outdone themselves with a giant egg in readiness for Easter. The work of art takes pride of place in the village opposite the pond.
Work started in October by David Howarth after the initial ideas was mentioned by Amanda Carruthers. Hurst Hookers were asked to crochet granny squares 7 x 7 inches edged in yellow and approximately 250 squares were required. As they needed a suitable place to store and work on the egg Chris James, who lives in the village, kindly offered one of his small outbuildings. He made a suitable door and allowed the team to use power for lighting.
He has also provided transport and manpower to move the egg frame to and from places and helped with its final resting place opposite the pond where it will sit proudly with a giant white rabbit made by Geraldine Eglington.
There is a QR Just Giving code connected to a Bowel Cancer Charity if people appreciate ‘The Hurst Hookers’ work and feel they would like to give.
The egg frame will be for sale after Easter. Suitable offers considered. Squares will be removed and refashioned into lap blankets and given away to a charity.
