'SIBOL' - Sunshine International Blankets of Love: showing a few new squares

showing a few new squares

Hello everyone,

It is a rainy sundayafternoon here in Holland. Perfect for cleaning up the house ;-). But also for crocheting.

I have been working on new SIBOL-squares. And I'd like to show them to you (Sue agreed to me doing so)!

I have been trying out a few patterns by Sarah London this time.
This is the 'pop wheel', with a little twist by myself (because I used a too small hook and it didn't turn out big enough):

This is the tweedy granny square:

And this is a bold Irish rose, which I attached on -again- a granny square:

I am not sending them off to Sue yet though. First I'll make some more to join them (and finish the loose ends) ...

Isolde,
Thank you so much for this great post! It really is lovely to see your squares. The colours are really good together, what lovely patterns too!
I am so pleased you are taking an active part in the posting on SIBOL. This is what I would like others to do. We have a nice little group of friends on here.
Thank you so much and you are very welcome to post any time!
Have a good day,

SIBOL Squares From Australia By Annette Young.

The Lost Stash by Sally 'Chunky Hooker'.

Whilst rummaging in the scrap cupboard, I heard a plaintive cry " She never looks in our little bag, Can you tell me why? " A voice replied, "We're old and tatty, A little bit worn out, Our colours dull, our fibres matted, Now don't give me that pout!" "But I want to be a 'Sibolette', I really, really do! To be part of a Sibol, Made by the lovely Sue. It's my destiny, my dream, my fate!" The voice was getting higher, "I may be old but it's never too late, I'm not ready to retire". "Oh gosh", I thought, That sounds like me, Slightly worn, with a dodgy knee. So I'm off to college, A Diploma to gain And the voices of the Lost Stash? "Sibolettes" they became!
