Are you joining in...

...the BIG Knit?

Have you seen the advert?

I have to admit, I only noticed the ad over the weekend - the one about knitting hats for Innocent Smoothie bottles - apparently they have extended the deadline for submitting hats until 31 October.

The 'Boss' mentioned that it might be fun for our staff to have a go as the idea is to raise money to help keep older people warm this winter.

Well, as the challenge was made - I dug out this little lot when I got home from work...
 ...and with the help of a pattern printed from the "Big Knit" web site, I managed this...
...whilst watching an episode of 'Murder, she wrote'.

This one was knitted just using the basic pattern so that I could check out the tension. Now that I know that it fits okay, I think I'll have a little play.

The 'Big knit' site has about a dozen different patterns in varying levels of difficulty, so why not hop on over there and take a look - just google 'Big knit'.

As I mentioned, the deadline for submitting the finished hats has been extended until 31 October - so why don't you dig out those needles and scraps of yarn and see what you can come up with..........................................................
