SQUARE HEART OF THE MONTH AWARD
Edited this month by Gloria Grandy
The Square Heart Award for June 2014 is for
Sharon B - USA
In February of 2013, Sharon B joined the KAS Forum. She had, in fact, been quietly working away, making and sending squares to South Africa for a couple of years before that!
Her presence has become a bright spot for many of us on the Forum where she shares photos of her beautiful work and offers complimentary and encouraging comments on the efforts of other contributors. She has the ability to ferret out different and unusual patterns which she shares with other members, and ultimately the children in South Africa benefit from her wonderful talent.
Her genuine concern for the children in SA is evidenced in the number of squares she sends ...
... and the care and detail she puts into them to make them warm, soft, and beautiful, hoping to warm the hearts and bring smiles to the faces of our children in SA.
Sharon joins in each challenge, entering into the spirit of fun with her incredibly artistic abilities to create whimsical ...
... themed ...
... or just plain beautiful contributions.
She has told us,
"I use a variety of methods to try to reproduce a picture that I've seen, and then trace an image onto knitting graph paper, square off the lines so they fit on the graph squares, find a yarn that sort of matches the colors I want, find a good show on TV, and knit my square."
Thank you, Sharon. You are one of KAS's many blessings!
If you are looking for inspiration or just want to smile a while, please have a look at Sharon's photo pages. Here is the link:
