      For the thicker wool squares, maybe several sewn together would make seat cushions.  I know that I don't like sitting on something cold and wet.

    Happy New Year Girls!!   Sending love, hugs + many thanks for this cheerful photographic coverage of the start of your volunteering year ♥️

    I am very pleased to see "my" banner in such a beautiful blanket. Thank you very much Estelle and everyone there.

    I wish KAS a wonderful year finally with many happy children!

    The first meeting of 2025 for Liz, Estelle, Audrey and Elaine was on January 21.  Here is Estelle's lovely report.

    Once again we have been blessed to receive Ada Breeuwer’s annual banner and squares it’s become a tradition that I love.

    We welcome 2025 and are inspired by our generous, creative contributors to turn their squares into warm, cuddly blankets for KNIT-A-SQUARE who distribute them to our needy children.
     
    We had a productive morning with great post to open and 39 blankets from our team and 3 in the post to photograph and pack.
    Thanks for being model of the day Elaine…your arms must be aching!

      What a great start to the new year.    Colorful and cheerful.  We love them.   The children will, too.
