Hats off to charity

The upcoming Big Knit will raise funds for Age Action, writes Rachel Borrill.

YES, it’s that time of year again. Get out your knitting needles, chose your hat pattern and click away. The innocent Big Knit is here — raising money to keep Ireland’s older people warm during the Winter months.

For the last three years, Deló McArdle and her friend Mary Walsh have got out their knitting and crocheting needles for the Big Knit and have made well over a thousand tiny woolly hats each.
