We're in 'Simply Knitting!'

Good Evening,

I have just popped in to tell you that we have been featured in 'Simply Knitting' Issue 104.
We have our 'Nursery Rhyme' Blanket shown. I'm so proud of everyone in the 'SIBOL' Group
but particularly to the Ladies who took part in this particular Challenge.

Our 'SIBOL' Challenges are such fun to do. At present we have quite a few running. Have you ever thought of taking part? Not only do we accept 6" Knitted or Crocheted Squares for our Blankets of any colour, any design but we also invite Ladies worldwide to make a Square for the Challenge Blankets.

We have some very interesting ones running at the moment some of these being Fruit and Vegetable, Wartime, Underwater, Daffodils, Leaves, Gardening, What a Wonderful World and there are more too.
So why not join us?

'SIBOL' is a place where you can be creative, whether you are just setting out with Crocheting or more experienced. I'd be really happy to accept your 6" Squares whether they are for the Stash or the Challenges.

I'd also be extremely happy to accept donated Blankets too whether they be Knitted or Crocheted.

If you are interested please pop over to SIBOL CHALLENGES here's the LINK.

If you have any queries please contact me on sueatpigsty@talktalk.net (Sue)

Thank you and now I'll leave you with the magazine.

If you click on the photo it will take you to Flickr and you will be able to enlarge the photo by clicking on 'Actions' and then 'view all sizes'.

We have one of our Blankets in 'Simply Knitting'. Well done everyone!

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!

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

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!
