Wow! That's quite a legacy...My mother is 94 and her sister is 96 and they still share an apartment, do their own grocery shopping, laundry, etc. I admire all of you and hope I can be as productive and involved in my senior years, too! I'm 65 now and still teaching full-time. How quickly the years go by.
I'm a Temple grad and so is my husband! I'm class of '70, he is '72. I shopped at Wanamaker's many times...loved that old store...met friends at the Eagle, watched the Christmas show, toured the organ, lunch at the Crystal Tea Room. Thanks for the memories!
I'm from Cheltenham near Philadelphia and was just reading your page. It is so wonderful to hear that you are spreading the word about KAS. So happy you've joined us!
Greetings Betty from up in Canada above MN! Welcome to a worldwide network of loving happy people helping African HIV/Aids orphans and the poorest of the poor. Glad to have you with us! It's so heartening to know that in this global, often so impersonal world, we're actually making a difference, a REAL difference, in the lives of these children. Check out the Forum, in the header above, for the various discussion threads, and Photos for all the lovely photos of members' work and Groups where you can join groups from countries around the world, not to mention Patterns where you can get inspired with easy level patterns of things the children really need, the right sizes and shapes.
When you click on Discussions, the Featured Discussions grouping (in the Forum section above) shows the most important subjects at the moment, latest challenges, latest news etc. I also recommend the Café KAS Discussion section, which contains the Furry, Feathered and Fishy Companions and Share A Yarn threads. I am so much a Yarnaholic! Thanks again for helping the AIDS orphans in Africa!
Welcome to KAS from over here in wet and windy Western Australia. I am intrigued to see that you are from Allentown.....it reminded me of the Billy Joel song 'Allentown' many long years ago.....lol.
Plain Jane squares, as they are affectionately called, are the backbone of KAS and are ALWAYS our most needed item. This type of square being a garter stitch/single colour or striped square and I think it is single or double crochet if your preference is for crochet. By clicking on the KASpattern book tab at the top of the page you can also find lots of other patterns provided by our fellow KASers, if you are wanting to mix it up a bit and make other patterned squares as well.
If you click on the groups tab at the top of the page you will find all the different groups and you are free to join as many as you would like. :))
Please check out the 'Helpful Hints' tab at the top of the page as this may answer many initial questions you may have and will help you get started. Any other questions...just ask...we love to help. :))
If you'd like to see what other KASers have been making please click on the photo tab at the top of the page....and feel free to add photos of your own work...we would love to see them. Just click on 'add photos' and follow the prompts.
If you want to see the most active discussions at present, you may like to click on the 'main page' tab and they are listed in the centre of that page...just pick one and click on it. It is a large website, but with so much fun and info.
