Marion Davies
It is with much sadness that I share with you all that after a short illness, Marion has passed away.
Marion was a wonderfully talented and generous contributor to Knit A Square and the children; joining our community in 2017.
In an email from Marion to Amy and myself, she wished to be remembered to you all.
From Marion :-
'Working with KAS has brought me a lot of joy and friendship. Give my love to everyone.
Love Marion'
We would love to create a blanket or two in tribute to Marion.
Although I am unaware of Marion's favourite colour, she created so many fun, pretty, cheerful and child-inspired squares and as such, it would be lovely to knit or crochet some colourful, playful squares in her honour. If you would like to participate, please make a note in your parcel indicating which are your 'Marion squares', so that the ladies in South Africa can gather them all together to create a special memorial blanket.
Thank you.
You can view Marion's wonderful crafting by visiting her page.

Sharon, Bev, and Amy - This is going to be one beautiful blanket.
Marion provided KAS with lots of flowers and hearts. Here are my squares for this very special blanket.
Wonderful hearts and flowers that will add to Marion's blanket.
BEAUTIFUL squares, Amy! I LOVE your sparkly heart and bobble heart.
I had some little white flowers with yellow centres just like yours that I was going to 'jazz up' my hearts with, but they didn't look that good on the colour in my sqs, but the colour of your squares suits it perfectly.
Two of my favourite squares of Marion's were her playful frogs and her colourful and sweet unicorn's head.
I had a deja vu moment when I started knitting some hearts to include, as I suddenly remembered I had actually knitted hearts in a very similar shade a few years back. The two dark squares are a dark burgundy/ purple shade.
These are so pretty! The frog and unicorn will make the child smile like a big, warm hug.
Love that frog and its bow tie.
Wish I kntted to make that heart square, I have always loved it . Will continue on with bobbles and appliques.
These BEAUTIFUL squares in French Lilac from Sharon B.
This is the variegated yarn that I think will blend with the beautiful French lilac squares.
These are lovely. (I have a variegated yarn that has some of this colour and would blend with these! Thank you for the inspiration)
