Jubilee Crocheting!

Hello and welcome to 'SIBOL'.

I am very happy to be showing you four Blankets which I crocheted up during the Bank Holiday Diamond Jubilee celebrations. I would like to thank each and everyone of you for the most beautiful Squares. If you haven't read the previous post then please do go back. Unfortunately due to a high intake of Squares I am unable to accept 'Stash Squares' until January 2013. I do still need 'Challenge Squares' however. All details are over on the Challenge Blog.

I shall show you now the four Blankets which I have finished.

Thanks to everyone that contributed Squares for this blanket!

Thanks to everyone that has contributed Squares for this blanket.

Although I am not accepting 'Stash Squares' please do not think that my project has ended. I am making the Blankets up with the help of my friends on RAVELRY and I would like to say you can still help me. Please pop over to the Challenge Blog and have a read.

Our SIBOL Group continues on RAVELRY, with SIBOL SWAPS, SIBOL BUTTERFLY CLUB, SIBOL YARNBOMBING and our threads are always active and each post is read too!

We continue to work for our Elderly in Nursing Homes and each one of our Blankets are 'unique', no two Blankets are the same!

Thanks for visiting today!

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!
