Last Sunday, a group of about 30 knitters headed down to Picnic in Reading to knit little hats for Innocent Smoothie bottles - 50p for every bottle sold with a hat goes to Age Concern. It was a great atmosphere with lots of clickety clacking going on and exciting as the number of hats were counted hourly and added to the totaliser. We finished with a total of 109. And a we even made it into the local paper.


Thanks, alabamawhirly, for organising the event.
