Innocent Smoothie Thank You card

Look what fluttered through my letterbox.  A thank you card from Innocent Smoothies.

You may recall that Innocent Smoothies had a campaign going a while back, in October actually, called The Big Knit, for people to knit little hats for their juice bottles, with 25p from each bottle sold with a hat going to Age UK.

I knitted a few and crocheted a few too.  You can see them HERE.

Well, this morning when I opened my post to find this amongst the bad brown envelopes, a Thank You card.

Not only a Thank You card, but one that looked like it was hand-written too.  It probably wasn't in all honesty, but I would like to think it was  :)   Even computer generated though - what a fabulous thing to receive.

It will definitely make me want to join in again next time.  It is so nice to get a "thank-you" especially from big companies that you would expect would have better things to do with their time.

Good for you Innocent Smoothies, you made my day  :)

Innocent Smoothie Hats

Innocent Smoothies have a campaign going at the moment, called The Big Knit.

It is basically where people knit or crochet little hats that will fit on top of their Innocent Smoothie bottles and send them in to them.

There are some free patterns on their website if you fancy having a wee go.  Each hat took me about 20 minutes to make and hardly any yarn at all.

When the bottles are sold, each one with a hat will raise 25p towards Age UK.

So, as I had to do a knitting demo in Hobbycraft this week (one hour each day) I thought, why not use the time to do something good.  So Hobbycraft have paid for the time for these little hats to be made - wasn't that nice of them?  :)

The first one is crocheted, the second two are knitted.

In total, 9 little hats will be making their way to this great campaign, I am guessing they won't be lonely judging by this photo.....

That's a lot of little hats!

Are you joining in?
