The Big Knit 2010!

Don't you just love this time of year... the leaves start falling from the trees, we start to see alot more of Cliff Richard and innocent smooties add little woolly hats to all of their bottles! The big knit is back for 2010, an initiative set up by innocent to encourage creativity throughout the UK and get everyone involved in knitting hundreds of unique woolly hats for all innocent packaged bottles. Every bottle sold then contributes to a staggering £200,000 for the charity Age Concern, to help make winter warner for the elderly across the UK. Why not get involved and knit a few yourself, the site even has downloadable patterns! Failing that, you can buy these limited edition bottles in Boots and Sainsbury's, go on... treat Barbie to a new winter hat!
