Happy little smoothies

What a fun knit-along!  With Jod's inspiration we got together to knit little beanies for Innocent Smoothies' annual fundraiser for Age UK "helping keep older people warmer in winter".  Dale also had been floating the idea during the last few meets for a bit of a masterclass and this was so much fun that we just may do something similar next time!

Under Jod's guidance, we knitted, purled and pom pommed!  Some were more adept than others ... and let's just say there was a lot of room for improvement!  Take for example my first effort, with buttons sewn to cover the holes!  I have since knitted a replacement which I am much prouder of :)  There will be some very happy little old ladies:


So ladies, who's ready for 16 October?!  If someone would like to host, please let me know, otherwise I'm happy for everyone to come to the Vicarage again!
