and enough white for 28 pandas
Getting ready to hit the adventurous pensioners of New Oscott who are trialling Unitypanda tomorrow.
I’m printing up large print patterns, one for each individual pattern piece. Also on the go are Pandaknitter ID tags. I’m hoping the back wool arrives in today’s post. There’s a heap of cream and white waiting to be collected from the post office. I won all the white ebay auctions I bid on, and lost most of the black ones. Black is obviously a higher value commodity these days.
I’ll discuss the possibility of making pandas in grey tones, with the shade of grey suited to the eyesight of each pandaknitter.
After speaking to Emily Jones I’m going to send offline panda patterns down to the craft group that meet on Friday mornings.

My 92-year old nan, Joan Pedley, and close friend Dot Bott, a highly experienced knitter, are keen to be involved in the Unitypanda project. They have already volunteered to help out with the Day centre activity groups.
