Yes, I have a Ta - Dah today! Introducing you to 'The Irish Sunshine Blanket'. I finished the edges off on Sunday and as I was sitting there Mr.Twin said he thought the Blanket had an Irish feel to it. I think because of the green edging, and after uploading it on to Flickr Stricksusi, Susanna named the Blanket for me. 'The Irish Sunshine Blanket'. So this is what I have called 'SIBOL no. 5!'. I'm really pleased how it's come out once again. But of course it's all thanks to you! Such wonderful colourful Squares.
I would like to thank 'Maytaurus' from MSE for her Squares which are on this Blanket. I do hope she's following my blog so she can see a photo. Also hello to Pippa S if she's visiting me from there. Maytaurus, Linda and Kathy have sent me Squares over the past few months . There's no deadline on Squares as I will be making the 'Sunshine Blankets' all year. But the themed Blankets 'sun theme' runs until 21st April. I appreciate all the Squares that I receive and as you all know they will be made into Blankets for the Elderly in Nursing Homes and Charities, even the 'Sun' themed Blankets will be sent to Nursing Homes. The themed Blankets just give us an added interest.
I would also like to say that I have some free Knitting patterns if anyone is interested. They came with a magazine the other day. As I don't knit, I was wondering if anyone would like them. It seems such a shame to waste them.
The first one is for the 'Woolly World Cup'. A beautiful little Knitting pattern book and if you have boys in the family this would certainly go down a treat. The players are fairly quick to knit. One of the Footballers can be made in one weekend. Each player is knitted into a glove, medium in size. The pattern comes with instructions to make the net and football and if you wanted you could make a whole team!
The other pattern book is 'Beautiful Toys to Knit'. A pattern for Three sweet teddy bears, three cute chickens, and a dolls pattern 'Tilly Twirl who comes with instructions to make three mix n match outfits which are simply gorgeous. A little red coat, with red and blue pinafore. A blue and white dress with little shorts and a white jumper with blue and white striped shorts.
I'd only be too happy to send out to anyone that is interested. So could you email me sueatpigsty@talktalk.net if you are interested. I'd like to offer to two people so could you tell me which one you prefer please. Thanks.
The other thing is that I am coming up to my 100th Post! I know I can't quite believe it myself! I remember when I wrote my first post wondering what on earth I would write about. ' Mindless Ramblings' have now got me to where I am today, coming up to my 100th post shortly. Well to celebrate I am having a 'Giveaway'. The deadline is 3rd April at 11.00pm. All you have to do is to leave a comment on my blog 'Mrs Twins' (this one) or Flickr mail me saying you want to be put in the draw or email me sueatpigsty@talktalk.net A name will be drawn by Mr. Twin or one of the Little Miss Twins! So best of luck!
Bye for now and have a good day!
P.S. Please pop over to 'SIBOL'.- my 'spin off blog for the blankets' because Luna has posted a Square she wants us all to have a go with! x
