'SIBOL' - Sunshine International Blankets of Love: Knit Today magazine Club of the Month

Thursday, 15 March 2012

and ......'Club of the Month' is..........'SIBOL!' We're in Knit Today! Well done everyone!

Hi Every one!

Well earlier in the week Melanie (corner left of the mosaic above) told me that 'SIBOL' was in 'Knit Today'. I have been patiently waiting all week to get hold of a copy and this afternoon I bought one from our supermarket.

I am absolutely over the moon because 'SIBOL' is 'Club of the Month' in their magazine and there is a fantastic write up for our Group and also some wonderful photos! The mosaic that we sent up has come out really well and it's really nice to see our 'SIBOLETTES' taking pride and place! Well done everyone I am just so proud of you all!

It mentions in the article that our 'SIBOL' project was started in Memory of my Grandmother which it was and today is her Birthday! I am so happy, what a nice way to say I am thinking of her.

'Knit Today' 'Club of the Month' is 'SIBOL!'

Click on the photo it will take you to Flickr and then go to

'Actions' and 'Sizes'.

It's my late Grandmothers' birthday today as well! What a nice way to celebrate! Well done everyone!

I would like to thank 'Knit Today' very much indeed for this fabulous write up and for allowing our Group to be 'Club of the Month!'. My 'SIBOLETTES' will be extremely pleased and I know I am!

Thanks for visiting 'SIBOL' today!

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

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.

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!
