Harrogate prepares for the Grand Depart

Harrogate has been preparing for the Tour de France coming to Yorkshire on 5-6 July. There was a call for local folks to knit little yellow jumpers to be used as bunting around the town. They needed 3,000 but got something like 25,000. My Mum was one of the knitters, and I hope this shop has one of her wee jumpers hanging there. Today I passed all of her knitting projects, including blankets for women in Africa and lots of tiny premature baby cardigans to her dear friend Ann who will finish them and distribute to the appropriate charities.
