I am happy to report that I've completed 10 mini hats now. I concentrated on just plain colour ones although I had a break and did stripes for one :D
It's a pity that the photo doesn't show clearly the ones that are made with festive 'shiny yarn'.
I now need to take them to the Age Cymru office in Aberystwyth as there isn't a local branch apparently.
I've repeated the link below in case you're interested in taking part to improve on your knitting / crafting skills.
all work by 
(I've added a bigger piccie as an update :D
