We need knitters! #LestWeForget

We are immensely proud that our firm organised the knitted and crochet poppies which we displayed in Spa Road, Hockley last year. We have kept all of the displays ready to go back up this November but would like your help in extending the display with more poppies. Thank you.

WE NEED KNITTERS!
Hockley Remembrance Poppy Display
 
Calling all Hockley Knitters or Crocheters! We would really appreciate your help in creating knitted or crochet poppies for our public display in Spa Road for the ‘Hockley Remembers’ Armistice Day & Remembrance Sunday.
Last year you generously made 100’s of poppies which we have carefully stored and cleaned ready to go back up in November but we would love to cover even more of the railings this time.
You can use any poppy pattern you like but this is one we found on-line.
 
Cast on 60 sts using 4mm needles and DK red yarn.
Rows 1-8 (K2, P2) to end.
Row 9 (K2tog) to end. [30 sts]
Row 10 (S2kpo) to end. [10 sts]
Break off yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread tail through remaining 10 sts and pull tight, then fasten off yarn.
Join the edges of the poppy together and sew the black button in the centre of the poppy.
Specific abbreviation: Sk2po – slip one knit wise, K2tog, pass slipped stitch over.
 
If you are feeling creative and can help please drop your completed poppies into our Amos Estates office at 1A Spa Road, Hockley. If you prefer, we can collect from you at home.

Halloween is just around the corner, and Hockley Village is getting ready to come alive with ghosts, ghouls and giggles! The Hockley Haunted Halloween Trail promises an evening full of fun and a few spooky surprises along the way. If you’ve got little monsters eager to trick or treat in a safe, free of charge environment then come along and see us.

If your home has been sitting on the market with no progress, you’re not stuck. Switching estate agents is easier than you think, if you understand your contract and prepare properly. Here’s the truth, the timelines and the process to relaunch with impact.

This year’s Remembrance displays have been extra special for all of us at Amos Estates. It marks ten years since we first began our poppy project, and what started as a small local tribute has grown into a proud community tradition. With displays across Hockley, Thundersley Village, Thundersley Common, and Hadleigh War Memorial.

Thinking of selling soon? Setting the right asking price can make or break your move. Here’s why overvaluing your home, even with the best intentions, can actually reduce its true market value and slow your sale.
