    Hi Everyone!
    Just popping in to say would anyone like to take a look at my latest Sunshine Blanket. A few ladies on MSE have very kindly sent me squares.

    Pippa S, Kinsey, Pol. (Kathy yours are in the yellow blanket coming up along with others).

    Your Squares are in my SIBOL Blanket No. 10.
    Try and pop over to Flickr and have a look.
    www.flickr.com/photos/sues_favourite_things

    Flickr is a photo sharing site. You can load your photos up of your Crocheting or Knitting and share them with others. There is no charge, only when you get to a certain amount of photos loaded up.

    I always load up new Squares that have come in and the Blankets when finished.
    If possible Pippa S, Kinsey, Pol
    It would be nice to 'add note' to your Square this would tell others that you have made the Square.

    or www.sunshineinternationalblanketsoflove.blogspot.com
    or www.suesfavouritethings.blogspot.com

    Pippa S, I'm having the Art of Crochet too. It's pretty good. But I've unsubscribed now. The delivery was awlful. I'm getting my copies from W.H. Smith on time every week.

    I don't know whether I said but 'Inside Crochet' contacted me about an article about SIBOL. It's out June 9th if anyone is interested. The magazine is newish in the UK, but it is available on line digitally. www.yudu.com If you are interested. They have some really good patterns in there.


    OOh, I had better tell you which squares they are.

    Pol - 3rd row down square left hand side by the edge.
    Pippa S - Top Row right hand corner.
    Kinsey Same row as Pol. 3rd row down second square from the right hand side edge.#

    I really appreciate all the help I receive from MSE members. I have now made 10 SIBOL BLANKETS 25 SQUARES IN EACH.
    I have another 354 Squares to sew up,

    and 'I'm loving it!'.

    Thanks to all,
    Sue

    pippa - sorry to hear the sad news - hope everything went ok xxx

    I have a couple of my la la questions ...

    a) was starting some more hats for spain for chalky and needed to make sure were big enough - can someone say how big newborn hats should be ie how many inches round ???

    b) What size are Mrs Twins squares? - I just cant find it on here in search box

    c) Mrs M - the photos are fantastic - I love the handbag - can I be really cheeky and ask where you got the pattern from (Im assuming it is knitting not the big C word that I cannot master tee hee)

    Thank you sorry for being such a la la - have a good evening J xxxx

    PS ISOM - sounds like your busy - hope Mum is feeling better xx
    sock-knit - hope you are ok today - thinking of you and the boys xxx

    PPS - has anyone heard from chalky - or has Rod whisked her away from us ......
