Sibolettes! Well done to you! We've done it again!

Good evening everyone!

It's so nice when I have news to tell you. I just can't wait to share it with you.

I did know a couple of months ago that SIBOL was going to feature in Knit Today. Last Friday the issue came out but I've had trouble getting a copy. Thanks to Melanie for telling me in the first place and also joyce28. This evening Mr. Twins has managed to scan me a couple of copies and now I am ready to share them with you.

Knit Today is a really lovely magazine here in the UK concentrating mainly on Knitting of course, but they do also have features on Crocheting and indeed patterns from time to time. I'm really pleased that our project was mentioned along with the Royal Wedding Blanket pictured.

Here is the main cover. If you click on the picture it will take you over to Flickr. Then go to 'actions' then 'sizes'. You'll then be able to read it..

Well done SIBOLETTES! We've done it again!

Then the actual article is here.

SIBOL has an article in Knit Today August 2011 Issue 62.

Thank you very much Knit Today!

I would also like to mention at this point that we will also be featured in Simply Knitting. The issue No will be 85 and it will be out on September 6th. They requested lots of photos and I've done my best to supply them with what I can. I have gained permission before sending the photos off to them. So let's see what happens in September. Something to look forward to.

Thanks to everyone for your comments on 'Endless Summer Flowers' and thanks to Marilyn for giving me an idea for the name.

So I think that's all for now. Until next time, Goodnight!

x Sue x

Oh, I am so pleased for you and all who are involved with these blankets! Think of all the squares that will come in to you now!
Will you still remember the little people like me when you are famous? :-)

Welcome to 'SIBOL'

Hi I'm Sue,

Married with Twin Daughters.

I live in the UK.

With the help of my on-line friends we

are making and donating Sunshine Blankets

to Elderly Residents in Care/Nursing Homes.

Would you like to help us?

We no longer accept Squares but we do accept

your Crocheted and Knitted Blankets. We also

accept Knitted and Crocheted Shawls.

My address is only available by email.

Sue on sueatpigsty@virginmedia.com

All details are on

www.sibolchallenges.blogspot.com

The project was started in Memory of my

Grandmother.

Thank you!

One of the Residents trying one of our Shawls on.

Important Notices

Please Note.

Donations of Sunshine Blankets/Shawls/Butterflies can be accepted between these dates.

1st March to 30th November 2016. Thank you.

I am often asked if there are 'collection points' around the country. Some Ladies find the cost of postage too expensive. There is a way round this. Why not make your Sunshine Blanket and donate it to your 'local' Care Home? If you want to contact me for a a pdf 'label' I will willingly send it to you. You can do this on behalf of our Group 'SIBOL' if that would help you. On the understanding that you would send me a photo of your blanket and the name of the Home where you have donated it to. I can then count this in to our totals.

Lists of Care Homes are available by contacting me.

This would be a great way of getting Sunshine Blankets to the Elderly in other parts of the country and not just 'Birmingham'.

If I can help you please contact me

I'm Sue on sueatpigsty@virginmedia.com

Thank you.

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!
