"I'm also currently using a yarn which is containing a lot more grey than I was expecting, Sharon. Perhaps it's the "in" colour this year! Your blanket is still lovely."
"I think this one serves as a lesson in being careful when buying yarn at a "bargain" price. The bottom photo shows the yarn as I bought it, so imagine my surprise to find that the only peach colour in every ball was that little bit you can see on…"
"The flecks look to be black, Mireille, so you've been working on your own CoM crossover squares!"
"I love your blankets made from multi-directional squares, Jill.......it has been on my to-do list for a very long time. :))"
"Hi All. My multidirectional one is at the top of the next batch of photos. Jill"
"The 9th one down is one of mine. Only just seen it!"
"I had such nice comments when I made this pattern in black so I've done it again in purple! Who doesn't appreciate a compliment?

"Lovely colour, Diane."
"So lively, Sandra. Brilliant."
"Beautiful, Mireille. Is this the Breast Cancer Awareness symbol?"
"C2C with trebles if I'm using aran yarn or Mini C2C (with half trebles) if it's DK."
"This is King Cole Jitterbug in Tropicana."
"How beautiful, Amy. Nature always provides the best inspiration."
"Thank you, Patricia. It is such a thrill to see my blankets have arrived safely and are ready to be distributed. And, even after all these years, it never fails to give me a thrill.
But the whole collection is wonderful, and many children will…"

"More of your work here, Sharon."

Hi Patricia, yes you're right I haven't been active on here for almost two years, but thankfully my meeting up with Karen will change that! Thanks for accepting! Linda
Hi Patricia, thank you for the kind comment on Rachael's blanket, I'm hoping to see it wrapped around a child one day, Diane
Thank you, Patricia. I’m pleased to be your friend.
Thank you so much Patricia. I haven't been "visible" on the forum, but behind the scenes I was doing my "job"for KAS and we had a busy time here. I saw all the beautiful items that were made but wasn't able to comment, and naturally I missed the forum too. xo
Hello Patricia,
Your blankets are gorgeous
Hello Patricia,
Your blankets are GORGEOUS, every single one of them. Congrats!!!
We are glad you have joined us.
Cheers.
Hi Patricia.
A warm welcome to Knit A Square, from over here in Western Australia. :))
Knitting or crocheting an 8" square or two or possibly even a few is a wonderful gift for the children. They love to receive their blankets, created from squares, which come from kindly, caring folk such as yourself, from over 60 countries all over our world. You are encouraged to knit/crochet in any stitch you prefer, but we do ask that they not be too 'lacy' as warmth is our highest priority. PJs (Plain Janes as they are affectionately known) are the backbone to all our blankets. These are single colour squares that are in garter stitch(knitting) or single crochet as they are very solid and provide a contrast to a picture/striped/patterned square or two that may be added to a blanket.By clicking on the KASpattern book tab at the top of the page you can also find lots of patterns provided by our fellow K-A-Sers. If you would kindly check out our wishlist, you can see what items we are currently focusing on.
