The innocent big knit 2021

The Big Knit is back and I’ve been creating little hats for this year’s campaign.

Easter Chicks 🐥

I’ve been busy making little Easter chicks for Arthur Rank Hospice in Cambridgeshire.

What a little deer

Did any of you manage to catch Kirstie’s Handmade Christmas in December? If you did, you may have seen this sweet little fellow (or should it be fallow?) on it. I bought the pattern after seeing Kate McCully make him in the toy competition.

Under the sea

A quick side project for a little person who loves the seaside.

Big Knit – snowman hat

Time to share my next Big Knit pattern and this one is very apt for our current weather.

The Big Knit is Back!

Back in 2003, innocent invited people to make little woolly hats as part of their Big Knit campaign. The hats were put on their smoothie bottles and for each drink sold, 25p was donated to Age UK. Since then 7.5 million hats have been made, and nearly £2.5 million has been raised.

The Autumn 2018 Knitting and Stitching Show

Getting up on a Saturday morning earlier than I do for work can only mean one thing – another trip to the Knitting and Stitching Show.

Happy Easter

These pretty eggs were quick to make. I bought some small polystyrene eggs from Hobbycraft and then raided my stash of Stylecraft yarn – I love this combination of colours. I made the egg covers up as I went along, taking inspiration from amigurumi, granny square and mandala patterns.

I also made a basket for them, giving it a bit of structure by crocheting the last row over some wire.

I hope that you have a very nice Easter weekend and that you get time to do lots of crafting.
