The Big Knit 2009

Hi again.

I know it’s been a while since my last post, but now I’m not doing a post a day, I’ve allowed myself the time off to busy up with other daily going ons.

I thought I’d take a moment however to share with you a few pics of the hats I made this month for THE BIG KNIT. I wrote a post on this last month, Day Seventeen: The Big Knit 2009 so you can read up about it there also if you so wish.

In a nutshell, by knitting these little hats for Innocent Smoothies to decorate their products with, they will then donate 50p per drink sold (with a hat on) to Age Concern and Help the Aged. To help keep our older folk warm, happy and safe this Winter.

I like the uniqueness of this little charity effort, and it suits me more than sponsored marathon etc. So armed with some yarn scraps from my dear Mum, and a pair of knitting needles, I whipped up 50 different little hats over the course of the last month.

Here are a few pics.

The decorated smoothies will be available in Sainsbury’s stores around the UK during November, so instead of buying your usual soft drink, pick up a healthy smoothie, treat yourself, and help towards a worthy cause at the same time.

Hopefully I’ll be back here again soon!

    They are so cute. You must have the patience of a saint to fiddle with all those bobbles and stuff! Well done to you! (Cariad837)
