'Train Knitting'.

Good afternoon,

My title is 'Train Knitting' because that's what we have today!

8 beautifully Knitted Sunshine Blankets sent in by Lyn from Bournemouth.

Lyn often travels on trains with her Husband and always takes her Knitting with her like others in the Group. Instead of making Squares she Knits strips which she then assembles in to beautiful Blankets for us.

We've received some beauties from her over the months and even on her recent trip to Sri Lanka

she was thinking of 'SIBOL' buying me lots of Ribbon for decorating our Blankets. How kind of her! I also received some very pretty Knitted Butterflies too.

Lyn tells me about the chats on the trains that she has with various people some of them are so amusing! Do you manage to look at any of the scenery though that's what I want to know?

A big thank for everything included in your parcel today it's very thoughtful of you Lyn.

Before I end my post today I would like to show you another pretty Sunshine Blanket made by the Ladies of the 'SIBOL' Group particularly 'BigBlue' who assembled it. It's called 'Bright and Breezy' and I love it!

'Bright and Breezy' made by BigBlue etc.,

What interesting Squares thank you all!

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.

All details are on

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

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!
