Maybe this makes me a killjoy but imagine how many hats you could knit for homeless people rather than knitting 600 mini hats *for free* for a brand owned by Coca Cola. https://twitter.com/innocent/status/1329695983639392256

It’s just a very stupid use of everyone’s time and resources, just give 25p to Age UK for every bottle, it doesn’t need to have a pointless bit of tat on it

Most of those hats are ending up in the bin, to make it not cost more to make than the donation they’ll be acrylic, if you are a knitter and want to use your craft for good, just make a hat that will go directly to someone who needs it

Might start pitching columns again just so I can make a grand return only to complain about tiny hats

Big Issue North need your knitting! https://twitter.com/bigissuenorth/status/1322946584489959425
