Our Snowman Blanket SIBOL 110! /Do you enjoy our SIBOL BLOG?

Ta - Dah! Introducing SIBOL 110 'Snowman Challenge'. mandas' challenges thank you!


Good Evening Everyone!

A wet evening here in the UK too.

Well the nights are drawing in and it is so good that we have our 'Sunshine Blankets' to cheer us up! I do hate these early dark evenings. What is nicer than to sit by the fire and Crochet or Knit for SIBOL?

I am so pleased this evening to be showcasing you our 110th SIBOL!  The Ladies over on Ravelry have been making Blankets up for SIBOL while I have been concentrating on getting the Blankets ready for the Nursing Home.  One of the Challenges they came up with was the 'Snowman Challenge' suggested by Amanda 'mandas' challenges'.

The Squares have been arriving from all over and Amanda has very kindly taken on  the Challenge herself to make up the most beautiful Snowman Blanket.  Well this morning the Blanket arrived back at SIBOL HQ, and I am very pleased to be now showing you the finished Blanket.

Each and every Square in this Blanket has been made lovingly by Ladies who enjoy our SIBOL Group. If you are new visiting SIBOL our new Challenges will start 1st December.  I'm sure you would like to have a look at the Blanket now. 25 Squares all with the Snowman theme in mind.

Let's have a look at them now.

`Please add note' if you see your Square Ladies! Thank you very much mandas' challenges and to everyone who has contributed Squares for this 'Snowman Challenge'


If you have made a Square for this Blanket please do click on to the photo which will then take you to Flickr. Click on the photo over there and then go to 'Actions' and then 'add note'. Drag the box over to your Square and label your name.  This really is a stunner. I am so pleased how it's turned out.

Now if you have enjoyed looking at this wonderful Blanket and you think 'SIBOL' deserves a nomination for 'Best Craft Blog 2011' would you like to click on to the 'Inside Crochet' Button over to the right of this Blog please?

Ladies from all over come together to help the 'SIBOL' project. I am never ever disappoointed when I set a Challenge because the talent and creativity of Ladies is just marvellous. They certainly all put their thinking caps on to rise to the Challenges and it's always so nice to see what they come up with.

So thank you if you would like to nominate us, I know all of our 'SIBOLETTES' would be extremely grateful to you. To be recognised by 'Inside Crochet' would just be super!

We certainly have a very crafty blog!

If there is anything I can help you with please contact me

Thanks for visiting this evening and have a good weekend and I'll leave you with The Snowman Slide Show!

    I love the snowman blanket, especially when I can see my 'man' smiling at me. Isn't it just great to be part of something wonderful?

    Dear Sue,
    LOVE LOVE LOVE this snowman blanket!
    It is so perfectly wonderful. Any chance that we could do more snowman blankets? Is that possible?
    Will try to figure out if I can go over the side and vote, will do it if I can!
    Love, Kay
