... and The Big Knit 2014

You remember we said we were taking part in the Innocent Big Knit... well we've finally finished and sent our contribution!
As a reminder, the aim of the Innocent Big Knit is to ask people to knit little woolly hats, which then go onto Innocent smoothies. For each one sold, a donation of 25p is make to Age UK.

Luckily Innocent provided knitting patterns... and as my knitting skills are very limited, I went with the beginner hat!

I then got a bit adventurous and managed to work out how to add some stripes....
.... and even more adventurous with a fez style hat!
Who knows when you may need to make your own mini hat....
These were great fun to make and were a good way to practice a bit of knitting. You never know I may even manage to make a full size hat one day!
The deadline for hats is actually today, but you can either support by buying one (or several!) of the bottles when they go on sale or make a donation. Text Knit to 70004 to donate £3.
