A great thing! Posted by sandra on 20 November 2009 Thank you Sandra! It's great to hear how much folk have enjoyed and / or been inspired by it. We really appreciate your comments. Posted by Alison on 15 December 2009  Congratulations ! Well done to one and all for such a wonderful Art experience! Judging by the hundreds of people who crossed the Bridge over the weekend, the Event must be judged a success; although somewhat marred by the cruel theft of one of the panels in the early hours of Monday morning. So, what's next...??? Posted by Kyleakin Environmental Group on 28 October 2009 Some Folk are just crabbit! We went across your bridge today and it looks very colourful! Well done, there is not enough community spirit anywhere anymore. Ignore the negative comments, if these people are so worried about the orphans(!?) then they can donate money to them themselves:) Posted by Rachael on 25 October 2009 Great day out! Came down from the Black Isle to look at the display on Saturday. Some wonderful pieces, really inspiring. I have taken away lots of new ideas. Wish I'd known about it sooner as would have loved to send a piece. Well done to all involved. Posted by Sue Varley on 25 October 2009 SAD PEOPLE Dear 'Confused & Irritated' & 'Kate' GET A LIFE Over the weekend there were in excess of 760 persons viewed the Panels on the Skye Bridge. WHERE WERE YOU TO COMPLAIN ? We were on Security on the Bridge, NOBODY complained.

What an incredible waste of yarn and time! Both could be so much better used - say teaching the underprivelidged to suppliment their comfort and income, for example. How many senior citizens, orphans, or poor familes could have been warmed and comforted by items made from all the yarn that will bw WASTED by hanging on a bridge, and RUINED by exposure to the elements Posted by confused & irritated on 09 May 2009 It is a shame that you didn't read the 'participate' page before you wasted your own time and spun your yarn. All the items will be sold to raise money for local charities and the organisers also hope to put together a book, again to raise money for local charities. So poor orphans may end up benefiting after all (or the RNLI, or Family First, or any of the worthy local causes), lots of people will be toasty wearing the scarves and bedspreads and the Skye Bridge will celebrate in style and wear a wonderful work of textile art in the meantime. Now think again and get knitting. Posted by Nathalie on 12 May 2009 I´ve got a hand knit jumper that was my dad´s and I wear it with regularity. It must be about 30 years old and has had everything thrown at it over the years.....including the highland bad weather on a daily basis. No ruined wool hanging on me! It´s a wonderful idea and I love that everything will be sold after to aid local charities. Great idea ladies, keep up the good work! Posted by Gaynor on 14 May 2009 View All Posts, Ever!

I followed along on-line as people submitted their items and their stories or comments.
I quickly realized that this project inspired others all over the world.
It was a lot of very hard work for the organizers, but what an incredible achievement!
