Snowy Fun

Innocent Big Knit 2013 is back with a bang! One million little woolly hats have been knitted and are now adorning Innocent Smoothie bottles, ready for purchase all over the land (UK). In my previous Big Knit post here, I shared my enthusiasm for this campaign and expressed my excitement at seeing what creations people would come up with for 2013. I have not been disappointed – this year the nation have really outdone themselves on the quality and imaginative designs of their little knits!

There were around forty behatted bottles available for purchase at my local store. I had to rummage about in the chiller aisle deciding on which hats to choose as my favourites. I settled upon going with a wintry, Christmassy theme and picked these two: A snowman and a Christmas pudding! Each year, I root around looking for the slightly quirkier hats so I was really impressed when I stumbled across these two! There are both beautifully made and looked super cute atop the smoothie bottles.

Christmas Pudding or Snowman: It’s A Tough Decision!

Mmm, Christmas pudding!

I am naturally a very indecisive bunny and could not pick a favourite between the two so thought I would try them both on to get a better idea of how each would look on me.

Big Knit Hat

The Innocent Big Knit is back for this November here in the UK. I had a rummage around my dressing up box and managed to dig out this little number from last year’s campaign. For those of you unacquainted with the Innocent Big Knit, it goes something like this:

General public knit little hats and submit them to Innocent.
Hats adorn Innocent smoothie bottles (yes you read that right, the drinks wear the hats).
Smoothies available to purchase from local shops supporting the campaign and 25p from the sale of each bottle goes to Age UK.
Funds raised from smoothie sales go to Age UK’s ‘Spread the Warmth’ campaign to make winter warmer for vulnerable old people. Such funds are spent on things like hot water bottles, blankets, hot meals and social gatherings.

It’s really as simple as that to get involved. This year the Big Knit is celebrating it’s 10th birthday and they’ve introduced an extra way to join in. The Big Knitter is an online virtual hat maker. Basically you design a hat, share it on Facebook or Twitter and for every share Innocent will donate an extra 10p towards Age UK’s ‘Spread the Warmth campaign’.
