A pirate, a black and white movie film star, and a Russian doll all walk into a bar. What happens next? Please go to our facebook and give us some suggestions, and whilst you're at it vote for this week's hat of the week. Up for the eponymous title this week is Captain Jack Sparrow, Charlie Chaplin, and Babushka the Russian doll.
You can also bid for these three treasures over on ebay now, along with the modest mouse, and Mario and Luigi hats, as below. Every penny raised on ebay will go direct to Age UK, making winter warmer for older people. Last week we raised over £100, thank you so much for bidding.
Mario and Luigi inspired.
This week's hat of the week takes us on a journey to the weird and wonderful. First up in the carb corner is the man of many faces (but one head), Mr Potato Head. In the white and fluffy corner we have Alfred the Squib. Yes, we have confirmation, he's definitely a squib, and he's got a cracking 'tache.
Go to our facebook album here, and "like" which photo you prefer to cast your vote.

Last week saw the owls grabbing a landslide victory over the jumpers. Congratulations to Hazel & Pippa.
The Big Knit is now live in Sainsbury's stores across the UK (and Boots from next Wednesday), and we thought we'd honour that with a special woolwear hat of the week, showcasing a little pair of big chunky knit jumpers, going up against a family of wild-eyed owls.

Things are getting spooky around here, the pumpkin soup is coming out, and magnets even glow in the dark. In keeping with the season, we bring you a halloween special hat of the week.
Would you rather be treated to pumpkin pie, or get tricked by Frankenstein's Monster? To place your vote, go to our facebook and "like" which photo you prefer.
Last week showed us that mittens beat scarves. And that's a knitted fact.
As it's starting to feel like winter is definitely on the way, we thought it time to share some real winter warmers. And so we bring you scarf versus mittens. Or are you more of a snood fan? Good, we didn't think so. Scarf versus mittens it is then. The choice is yours. Just go here, and "Like" whichever photo you prefer to cast your vote.
It's mitten time.
Scarf-o-rama
And last week was a landslide of Disney's Dwarves over the GB Olympic entry. Who knew that a "hi-ho" or two can beat 5 gold medallists?
It's not often that a group of characters from a 1930s Disney classic compete against some of the UK's finest athletes, but hey, it's just one of those weeks. Who will win between Snow White and the 7 dwarves and the British Olympic team? Go here to vote and choose your winner.

The results from last week show that the mouse is mightier than the fictitious elf from the land of Nintendo. Who'd a thunk it. A big congratulations to Mrs Gail Lee.
The hats have been piling in to Fruit Towers, and the competition is hotting up. This week we pitch a modest mouse against a pint-sized fantasy warrior who needs to find a Princess . It's mouse Vs The Legend of Zelda in an epic battle of tiny proportions. Go here to place your vote.
The results are in from last week, and the googley snail, fish and bee came out victorious over the alien fish. Congratulations go to Sarah Jane Burningham.
In this week's edition, all creatures great and googley-eyed go eyeball to eyeball, as the triple-tag-team of a fish, snail and bee challenge a pair of alien-fish to a duel. Or does that make it a brawl? You can place your votes here by "liking" which hat you prefer.
A googley fish, snail and bee.
If you can tell us exactly what these are then you'll win an overriding sense of relief and relaxation from us.
Last week, the psychedellic squids took poll position over the rasta-bonanza, a big congratulations to Shirley Boyle.
The results are in from last week, drum roll please, and the anonymous shrimp and hermit Kermit took the lead, safely securing their stronghold over Mexican Pete and his compadres. If you know who knitted this shrimp, please let us know. He's totally anonymous, and and a bit of an anomaly. But a wonderful one.
In the most suprising hat of the week yet, an otherwise friendly group of psychedellic squids take on a rasta. Who wins? You decide, by placing your votes in our Facebook album by clicking "like" on your favourite.
Last week we saw Binface of yesteryear take on his newfound family. And you know what? You voted for Binface, and he came out triumphant. Congratulations go to Vera of the Tilgate Drive Knitter Knatterers, who last year gave us the inspiration for this little video.
This week, we see sombreroed Mexican Pete and his compadres (all in beautiful rainbow knitwear), take on an anonymous shrimp and his frog-legged friend, a frog (or hermit Kermit as we like to call him).
Will it be burritos all round, or time to put another shrimp on the barby?
