Some girls are organising The Big Knit in St. Mary's this year.
The Big Knit is ... you don't need to knit an army of jumpers - just nice little hats for Innocent smoothie bottles. The hats will sit on the bottles in shops across Ireland this November. For every behatted bottle sold they'll give 25c to Age Action Ireland. They're aiming to knit 80,000 little hats this year.
Our deadline for hats is Friday 14th October 2011
Last year the nation got knitting for the innocent big knit campaign. A whopping 80,000 little hats were knit by generous people all over Ireland, raising €20,000 and much needed awareness for Age Action Ireland.
With such a harsh winter last year, the funds were put to great use to ensure that older people in Ireland stayed well and warm.
