'Think Pink' continued ...

Two more beautiful squares have arrived today to go towards the Breast Cancer Awareness blanket we're putting together over on Ravelry ... and here they are:

From Joyce (joyce28)

From Steph (craftymizz)

Aren't they lovely?! I've had more sign-ups since yesterday too, so there are now just 5 spaces remaining to complete the blanket ... please follow this link if you'd like to take part :)

'Think Pink!' blanket challenge

Hello everyone :)

My name is Lotti, and I'm a very proud Sibolette. As some of my fellow members of the Ravelry forum have recently taken up the challenge to gather and put together squares for new SIBOL blankets, I thought I might offer my services and join them. My idea is to make a blanket commemorating Breast Cancer Awareness month, which has been held each October since 1985 ... and as the pink ribbon is the worldwide symbol for the cause, I thought that an all pink blanket was the very best option for the theme.

I only posted my idea on the SIBOL forum on Ravelry a few nights ago, but am over the moon to be able to say that of the 25 squares I require for the blanket, 18 wonderful ladies have already offered to make and send a square, leaving just seven spaces remaining! I'm also already receiving the squares through the letter-box, which amazes me even more ... but I don't know why I was ever in doubt, having such fabulous people to turn to in my hour of need ;)

Here are the lovely squares which have arrived so far:

From Beverley (Baw1812) 

From Marge (bennythedip)

From Carol (Dansnanna)

 

Two beauties from Jennifer (jenn1feranne)

From Joanna (JoannaDonaldson)

My own square (lotti02)

From Tinka (theemuts)

I think you'll agree that they're all beautiful, and I can't wait to have the full set so that I can put the whole thing together! If you are a member of the SIBOL group on Ravelry, please do sign up if you're able to (and haven't already!) ... and if you're not a member - please join!! :D

Squares from the UK for our New Challenges!

Good Evening Everyone!

Slightly late today, sorry.......

Well today I have received two Squares for our new Challenges.  They have both arrived from 'Charlotte' 'Sharky Knows'.

As you probably know I have put some new Challenges out this week on SIBOL CHALLENGES and I'm absolutely amazed because today I have rcceived Squares for a couple of these Challenges. The first one is a most beautiful Square for the Jan Eaton Challenge. This one is No. 69 and it's called 'Fudge'.  I love the colours Charlotte has chosen. I'm sure you will want to have a look!



Gorgeous isn't it?

The other one has come in from Charlotte once again and this is for our Winter Wonderland' Challenge. I am requesting  Squares made out of 'white yarn' any pattern of your choosing.  I'm sure everyone has  a bit of white in their stash!

Here's the White Square



Well Charlotte you were definitely on the ball, making and sending out so...quickly! Thanks so much. I really love both of the Squares, but I'm sure you will agree the first one is just so delightful! Lovely Spring colours....



I'm pleased you enjoyed making the Squares Charlotte!

Can I remind you Aishwarya is taking Ladies names' for the SIBOL Swap over on Ravelry on one of the threads, do pop over. Everyone is really enjoying receiving their gifts through the post along with their SIBOL Square exchanges.,  What fun!

I have also got a few Block Numbers left too for the Jan Eaton Blanket, so do hurry up and claim your Block Number! Pop to SIBOL CHALLENGES first of all, instructions are on there.

Thanks everyone!
