Carole Evans: Spirit of Freedom. Knit and Natter group at Newton Abbott Library, Libraries Unlimited.

The Knit and Natter group recreate the war memorial of their town of Newton Abbott; one of only three in the country which features a woman at the top. The woman represents Freedom, and is depicted breaking the chains that bound her; here, the women are breaking the bunting they have knitted together, in celebration of the women before them.
