Chris at Thinly Spread who organised the event has already written about it here: Woolly Wonderland!

 
To convince Aaron to leave Westfield Stratford this morning, to go to nursery, I had to buy him these (below) for £10 in Mothercare.  They are supposed to be in the slideshow prior to the wellies but You Tube missed them off somehow!
 

 
Yes that is the train carriage dirty carpet not mine.
 

On Friday 13th December 2013 Save the Children is calling on people across the UK to help make the world better with a sweater and take part in the tradition of wearing a kitsch Christmas jumper in exchange for a £1 donation to raise money for its life saving work with children the world over.

Support for Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day has already started in earnest, with celebrities posing in their festive woollies.

Myleene Klass, Julie Walters, Lorraine Kelly, Gok Wan, Rochelle Humes, Erin O’Connor, Lauren Laverne, Alex Jones, Bruno Tonioli, Ashleigh & Pudsey, Arlene Philips, Nate James, Simon Rimmer, Jay Rayner, Daniel Roche, Kate Thornton, Jack Topping, Natasha Kaplinsky and Dom Joly have all dug out their finest Christmas knitwear, ready to wear in support of Save the Children’s Christmas campaign.
