Working with Titchfield Yarnbombers to celebrate International Women’s Day 2027.
Background: Several club members had seen the handiwork of Titchfield Yarnbombers for the row of bollards in the village, and approached them with a proposal for a joint project with a similar display for International Women’s Day (IWD). This would be for 8 March 2027. The suggestion was for toppers shaped like a woman and celebrate famous examples, such as Jane Austen, Queen Elizabeth II, or round the world sailor Dee Caffari (who lives in Titchfield, and could maybe “open” the display?). There are 22 bollards for toppers and the Titchfield Yarnbombers group already had a book of Crochet 15 Iconic Women. There were patterns for Queen Elizabeth II, Jane Austen, Marie Curie, Florence Nightingale, Malala Yousafzai, Rosa Parks, Jane Goodall, and Cleopatra. SI Solent East has bought them the sequel, of Crochet More Iconic Women. That includes patterns for Dolly Parton, Queen Elizabeth I, Joan of Arc, Ada Lovelace, Anne Frank, Ella Fitzgerald and others. We will be working together to select the 22 toppers to be made, and what might happen to them afterwards.
This page will be used to give more details about the famous women displayed, and will be the destination for the QR code attached to the actual toppers.
