It’s nice to be back after my self imposed summer blogging holiday and I would like to start by thanking each and every one of you for the overwhelming response to my little hexie needle caddy. Hundreds of you downloaded the free pattern and I was blown away by all your lovely comments, both here on the blog and on facebook, so thank you all!
I promise to bring you up to speed with what I have been up to in a little while, but for now I want to introduce you to the ‘Innocent Smoothies Big Knit Campaign’ – a fab little project that I have supported for the last 4 years or so.
The idea is that you knit fun little hats for Innocent Smoothie bottles and they put hundreds of thousands of them on their bottles in the supermarkets in the UK during the month of November. The little be-hatted bottles look so cute on the supermarket shelves and for every bottle sold with a hat on, Age UK gets 25p, which helps to keep vulnerable older people warm and healthy during the cold winter months.
If you nip over to the ‘Big Knit’ website you can find patterns for the little hats – suitable for all levels of ability, from beginner to the more advanced, together with details of how to get involved. You can find tonnes more patterns here.
I’ve started making a few hats of my own in the form of this fun little line up …
Why not have a go at knitting some yourself – you’d be supporting a great cause and having fun at the same time 🙂
Until next time – happy knitting!

Great little bee hat where do I find the pattern
Hi Michaela, I adapted the doddle hat pattern which can be found here http://www.thebigknit.co.uk/knitting-patterns. Best wishes, Natalie.
Oh my word your little bee hats are fantastic. I don’t knit myself, it just doesn’t float my boat, but these are just gorgeousness themselves. Jules x
Aww, thanks Jules! They are fun and really quick to do, that’s what I like about them – you can run up half a dozen in no time! All for a good cause too 🙂 x

For such moving I will think in back to knit….I left for age , worth it !
Glad the little hats made you smile Margarita 🙂 x
