Do you like yarn? What do you think about this?

Hello Everyone!

My friend Carol in the USA has just emailed me. She has seen this on the BBC News and wondered if I'd like to take a look.

Would you? Just put your hooks down for a minute Ladies, and enjoy this video!

Thanks so much Carol, how lovely is this?

Hugs Sue x

Hope I'm not taking your minds off the new Challenge.

Just to say I can't get the list updated on SIBOL CHALLENGES, it's playing up sorry.
I am keeping a written list.

SIBOL Squares From Australia By Annette Young.

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!
