(Un)finished things

Remember the hat I made last sunday? Remember I was making a scarf to match it? Well, I was about to finish it last night and what happened?,


 I run out of yarn , damn it!! I hate it when that happens!, I've got tons of yarns in my stash, really do, but not a single thread of the colour I need. Of course, it's all my fault. I should plan these things in advance.

 Oh, well, never mind.  In fact, I think this has happened for a reason, so I finally fisnish my SIBOL squares for this month. I've been playing with them for a long time, but always get distracted by something else! So I did finish them.

                           

                                    Just a little peek at them, I don't want to spoil the surprise.


   

                
 
           


Jan Eaton's Challenge. Block nº 13 "Circle in a square"


So hopefully tomorrow these will be flying to Mrs Twins', and I'll be getting more yarn to finally finish the scarf and move on to some other project!

why I belong to SIBOL

If you're in the crochet world you surely have come across SIBOL. What is this? It's a fantastic charity project a caring and lovely lady in England started around January this year.  I "met" her via Flickr, admired her gallery and her blog, and then she had this idea of making blankets for the elderly in memory of her beloved granmother. Go to her blog and read the whole story,  it's really worth it.



So why I joined this wonderful project?

 Because I love crocheting, in fact, I can't stop doing it, it's an addiction.

Because Sue has found a way of helping others doing what she (and all of us Sibolettes) love.

Because I worked for a while in a Nursing Home, and I know how too often people living there are somehow forgotten.

.Because she's proving that we ordinary people can do things to really change the world.
Maybe just a little corner of the world, but we are doing it. People from everywhere, no matter race, nationality or religion. I belong to that wonderful group and it feels soooo great!!!
For all that, thanks a lot Mrs Twins for starting this and for keeping it up with enthusiasm!

And now, I'd better get hooking or I'll be late for this month's challenges!!

Thanks for visiting and see you around!
