Senator David Norris has launched the "innocent Big Knit". Age Action is urging the public to help knit 80,000 bottle top hats for bottles of innocent smoothies. For each hat-topped bottle of smoothie sold from mid September to early October, Age Action will receive a 25 cent donation. A how-to-knit video and a variety of knitting patterns can be found on www.innocentdrinks.ie/thebigknit
