Is anyone you know growing a moustache for Movember? This fun campaign does seriously great work, raising vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and testicular cancer - you can find out more on the Movember website.

We were chatting to crafter Mel from Addicted to Making over on our Facebook page, and we discovered that she had a great way for us ladies to join in the Movember fun - with crocheted moustaches!

Head over to her website now to find the full story and free crochet pattern from Mel, and remember to make a Movember donation over at uk.movember.com.
