I had a try at learning to knit a few months ago, I wasn't very good, and as I'm allergic to wool I reacted. I really ought to try again with some wool that's not wool if you know what I mean!!<BR/><BR/>Great project to be involved in.Mimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15347739764524842718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-15407363497667742242008-10-22T06:38:00.000+01:002008-10-22T06:38:00.000+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-16047282615025826312008-10-21T21:40:00.000+01:002008-10-21T21:40:00.000+01:00Hey, you could start now for next year!

My husband who is ultra laidback always seems to find a way round things...he's taught me to think a bit differently....this is what the website says:<BR/>"After a fantastically woolly seven months, the Knit One, Save One campaign has now come to an end. If you have hats and messages ready and waiting to be sent then, never fear, just get them to us as soon as possible and we will still make sure they reach vulnerable babies."<BR/>So it looks as if it still might be possible! Good luck to you all. I'd join you but my knitting is horrendous...I'll have to do something else...HxHadriana's Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03740533954842010870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-40486960588763830722008-10-21T18:27:00.000+01:002008-10-21T18:27:00.000+01:00Never mind.

I am sure this organization will at some other time ask for more knitted hats. Or something else. Or we can start our own group.
