I’ve been knitting squares for blankets. I might have a look at making these for a change

They'll soon be taking over our place; up to 33 and aiming for 100

Well they say a change is as good as a rest. I'm busy stitching squares together so will be able to show you the blanket at Hereford. Still plenty more to sew up but I can never get too many.

Glad to hear that Hazel..... I've got over 30 'squares' of various colours, thickness and size made on our travels around Europe....

I look forward to see a finished blanket at Hereford.

Over 100 now

I do about a thousand every year, friends keep me supplied with odds and ends of wool. Keeps me busy whilst watching Tv and doesn't take any concentration!

Can I ask a daft question what are they for what are they used for ?

They get put on smoothie bottles and for everyone sold AgeUK get 25p

Age uk give them to the company that produces Innocent Smoothies in bottles.
The hats are put on the bottles and people buying them pay 25p extra for the hat. Money goes to Age UK.

I confess I have never seen one in a shop but other people tell that they have.
