Better late than never I guess, I chime in from the middle of Canada up above MN, with a big welcome to KAS! So glad to have you with us and every single stitch helps warm a child, an African AIDS orphan. We're reaching out into other countries too, Zimbabwe and Malawi, and the love made by our members here and on Ravelry and other sites, is giving those children warmth, health and love, to know someone cares for them. Any questions just ask us or drop into Groups (just click above) and join the vibrant USA group or any you'd like. Again, welcome to Knit A Square!
Hello Anita, so glad you have joined us. Keeping the children in South Africa warm has brought together a world-wide group of caring knitters and crocheters.
If you haven’t already, please read through the welcome message on the forum main page for helpful hints and things that might interest you. The FAQ category should answer any general questions you may have. If not, please ask. http://forum.knit-a-square.com
Looking for patterns? Check the KAS Pattern Book for garments and squares for the children. We are focusing on children aged 3-9 years old. This age group is in need of warm garments and blankets.
Click Here for a few tips for sending your parcel. Postal information is here.
Every month, we list the squares, beanies and tops that have arrived in South Africa. To find the ‘Squares lists’ please click the Forum tab [in the toolbar above] then on “Tallies/Item Count” for an up-to-date listing.
Making the basic square is a wonderful way to relax and still help the children. Plain Janes, as they are affectionately called, are the backbone of KAS. Since it takes 35 squares to make one blanket, squares are needed all the time.
We would love to see photos of your work. Click on the photo option at the top of the page and follow the prompts.
