Hi there friends
Are there any keen knitters amongst you I wonder? Or any lapsed knitters, who fancy having
another go? Or any knitting virgins who want to learn? (Its actually quite easy when you
follow a
pattern<http://www.ageuk.org.uk/get-involved/raise-money/get-knitting-for-the-big-knit/big-knit-knitting-patterns/>)
:)
Age UK's Big Knit<http://www.ageuk.org.uk/bigknit> partnership with innocent is
in full swing - for the 10th year. We're aiming to knit 1 million hats to sell on
smoothies in November and December.
This is over twice as many as we knitted last year
So we're calling on supporters, beneficiaries, friends and relatives, even total
strangers we see knitting the tube to please please help us by knitting some little hats
and sending them to Age UK (address below) no later than 25th September.
If social knitting is more your thing then join us at Drink, Shop,
Do<http://www.drinkshopdo.com/Drink,_Shop_%26_Do/Drink,_Shop_%26_Do_%E2%…
for our latest Big Knit 'n Natter Night on Monday 16th September from 6.30pm to 9pm.
Its loads of fun honest!
And if there's no way you're ever gonna pick up those knitting needles in real
life, could you take 1 minute for go onto innocent's Big
Knit<http://thebigknit.co.uk/> website and design a virtual woolly hat? - cos Age UK
gets 10p from every one of those too.
Thanks a million for your help
