Poppies have become one of the symbols of memory of the sacrifice of the Firs World war. Then here was a tradition to honor the memory of the victims of the Second World war with this symbol. Now my Ukraine is suffering from the evil of the Russian invaders, who came to destroy not only everything living on our land, but also everything Ukrainian: language, traditions, our culture in general.
Back in the spring, I ordered to make a description of socks with poppies for a symbolic price, so that as many people as possible could knit them, and all the proceeds from the sale of his pattern would be sent to the charity fund “Return alive”, which tremendously supports our army in the fight for our Independence.
