Olympics London 2012! I need your help.

Good Afternoon,

Thanks for visiting 'Mrs Twins' today.
Most of you know I run an on-line Crocheting and Kntting Group called 'SIBOL'.

Throughout the year we make 'Sunshine Blankets' for the Elderly in Nursing Homes.

At the moment we have a special Challenge running.
To make a special one-off Blanket to celebrate the Olympics London 2012 Games.

I need your help though.
Do you Knit or Crochet?
Would you like to make a 6" (15cms x 15cms) Square?
If you do pop over to our SIBOL CHALLENGES web-site.

Squares are invited with the Olympics in mind.
So why not make a Flag of your own Country?
Maybe a Square with an Event in mind. Cycling, Swimming, Running?
Or maybe the Olympic Circles, Olympic Flame, Olympic Logo?

Please join us and have fun.
Why not tell your Followers about our SIBOL project?
I would be pleased if you did.

I want to make a really big Blanket full of variety, and lots of colour!
Then hopefully  we can raise money for the Alzheimers Society here in the UK.

Here are some of the Squares which I have received already.
Aren't they gorgeous?

Any queries
Sue on sueatpigsty@talktalk.net

Thank you!

Our 85th Ta - Dah!

Good Afternoon Everyone!

I'm off to a Tropical island today where I can laze about on a deserted beach.  What comes to mind on a Tropical island? Yes colourful birds, beautiful flowers, refreshing fruit and plenty more.  Just take a look at SIBOL 85!

I would like to thank everyone for the Squares for this Challenge. Your imagination has run riot again and you have come up with the most magical Squares. I am truly blessed to receive them and I hope you like what I've managed to do with them. It's been an absolute pleasure to make this Blanket up.



Do you like it? Do you want to see more? Here is our 85th Slide Show!

Thank you once again Ladies for taking part, your Squares have been fantastic and I have loved each one.

Our 84th Ta- Dah!

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for visiting 'Mrs Twins' today.

I'm very happy to be showcasing our 84th 'Sunshine Blanket'. What fun we are having!

I would like to thank Jean Nock for assembling this Blanket for me. The Squares have been sitting waiting to be assembled and I'm really pleased how this Blanket has worked out now.  Beautiful Squares, lovely colours in shades of Pink and Green. I think the white border finishes it off beautifully.

I do hope you like this Blanket, I know I do. It's so lightweight too and I'm sure one Elderly person is just going to love it.

If you'd like to see some beautiful Rowan yarn I bought yesterday please pop over to SIBOL and have a look.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

2,025 Squares makes 81 'Sunshine Blankets' I think!

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Let's have fun with a Calculator!

81 x 25 Squares = 2,025 Squares now assembled.

Yes we have another Ta - Dah!

I am very happy to be showing you the latest Sunshine Blanket and this one was not assembled by me either. All the Squares were made by Jean Nock and the Blanket was then assembled and donated to our SIBOL project. Kindness from Flickr Ladies never fails to amaze me! I am just so touched by the kindness Jean Nock has shown. She has made each of these 25 Squares so beautifully, all wonderful colours. Lots of Granny Squares in numerous colour combinations! It's just fantastic how they have been made and put together. This Blanket is really lovely and I'm so grateful to you because you are donating it to our SIBOL project.

Thank you very much Jean Nock, it is very much appreciated.

Hi Everyone!

Well lots of you know me as the 'Queen of SIBOL!'  :) Well today I haven't got a hook in my hand which makes a change..... I had a completely 'hook free' day a few weeks ago when I went and had a Makeover/Photo Shoot with Little Miss Twins (1).

I've had the photos arrive at last today and I thought I would show you all!

A giggle........ :)

Thanks for visiting me!

Good Afternoon visitors to Mrs Twins!

Thank you Coxabey!
