500th Challenge/Festivals Challenge.

Good Afternoon and welcome!

I am very pleased to be showing you the 'centre square' for our 500th Blanket. joyce28 has very kindly knitted this great design.

It's going to look superb joyce28 thank you! If anyone else want to make a square we do have a thread over on RAVELRY here's the link. You are most welcome to join in the Challenge.

We do still have the 'Festivals' Challenge and 'Wonderful World' Challenge running at the moment and if you would like to join in please do. Please visit SIBOL Challenges. Thank you!


We had such fun taking part in the 2012 'Jersey Textile Showcase 

when it raised £95.00 for Jersey Mencap.  I was wondering if you would like to help me make a Blanket for next years exhibition.

The theme is 'Festivals'. So I am inviting you to make a 6" Crocheted or Knitted Square with this in mind. 

Where-ever you live in the World each country holds it's own Festivals. If you 'Google' - 'Festivals' you will find lists of various ones held. You know the sort of thing 

Music, Wine, Book, Film, Steam, Religious, etc
Here's a link giving you some ideas.


REQUIREMENTS
6" Crocheted or Knitted Square.
Acrylic yarn.
Festival theme
Lots of colour!

With each Square please enclose a note enclosing details about the Square you have made so I can enclose a sheet with the Blanket.

Please send your Squares as soon as possible. Thank you! 

The Blanket will go on exhibition in the Gallery at the Harbour in Jersey for the duration of the show and then it will be sold to raise funds for Macmillan Nursing

This will not be entered in to the Competition as it will be too big.
This is purely for exhibiting and fund-raising.
