I've just been searching about the Innocent hat drive, and come across your blog. I'm hoping to raise at least 40 hats - and awareness about the drive - through a pledge. I've set up a pledge, that I will knit at least 5 hats, as long as 35 other people knit at least one too. You can see it here http://www.pledgebank.com/thebigknit07 Would anyone like to join me? I just thought I'd spread the word about it :) Hi! I’ve just been searching about the Innocent hat drive, and come across your blog.

Just wish I had found it earlier in the year. There are hundreds of people working hard every year on the campaign and I thought it would be worth mentioning the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/supergran2006/pool" rel="nofollow">FLICKR</a>pool where contributors can post pictures of their woolly hats. There's also a 'woolly hat of the week' feature when the campaign really takes off, and a 'hatometer' to keep track of progress! In 2006 the company received in excess of 220,000 hats (the target was 175,000). Although these smoothies are not my preferred drink, Mr CB likes them very much. I found them to be a bit too smooth - I like a bit of texture to my smoothie! Best wishes...craftybernie I came across your post about Innocent Smoothies and their woolly hat campaign, during one of my midnight bloghops, and I just wanted to say thanks for the link to my blog.

The hats are so cute and fuzzy-looking. Great to see a company like yours working together for a cause. I don't know what kind of competition Innocent would have in the USA, as smoothies are not my field of expertise. Does anyone out there have any ideas? Thank you for the pictures!

I should take another look at them (haven't done so lately). And thanks for the tag; I will try to add 5 more things later this week! Laurence-Helene, I agree that we are missing out over here in the USA. Know any good distributors? Fun to hear about folks from your company knitting in meetings! Do you have any pics?

Very much community focused. I checked Jones Soda... very viral and clever what they're doing. Becky, I tagged you with the "5 Things You Should Know About Me" meme :-) Ahh, I forgot to mentioned that they remind me of Ben and Jerry’s, the ice cream company, when they were starting.

What a great way to involve your customers in your business. Thanks, Jordan, for the info (even if the first attempt at sharing the name didn't quite work! ;-)).
