"Absolutely STUNNING, Amy!! I LOVE this design. :))
LOVE your intro. Is the top square, one you have crocheted? It's a WOW from me.
I did send some toys with my parcel last week, but didn't know handwarmers were requested as well......will get onto…"
"Ooh, I LOVE to see some lighter greens in a Chrissy blanket, Diane. These will be PERFECT!
I am kicking myself that last time I did a Stylecraft order (from Lovecrafts in the UK), I only ordered one ball of a really pretty midgreen."
"Thank you Everyone for a GORGEOUS purple (and other colours) month.
As always, I started an end of month project, which will be finished 'later'....haha."
"Can I just add, Karen, that Amy's given you the American terminology so for us it's double crochet for sc and treble crochet for dc. Although if you're watching it on YouTube it probably doesn't matter what names they're using."
"Looking up the name...
Very easy stitch. Chain even number, sc & dc in first stitch. Skip the next chain. Repeat this until the last chain, sc only. Turn, chain 1 and repeat.
Very similar to orange peel stitch. Textured and cozy warm."
"Thank you for bringing a little sunshine to a (forecasted) week of rain here, Amy.
Who doesn't get cheered by a CUTE smiley sun?! LOVE the colour of your square, too."
"It's so interesting to read comments like this from people in other countries, Sharon. As far as I'm aware in the UK if you've got a garden you can have a washing line. A lot of people use a rotary line though so I don't think that would work as…"
Hi Bev - thanks for your lovely welcome! I am a new knitter and have started my first square many times - more holes than wool :( practice makes perfect and I will get there in the end :) :) looking forward to sending my squares on!
Thanks Bev! And Estelle and Andreja and all who welcome me to the forum. I'm blushing because I know I'll only actually come on here when I get an email saying someone has specifically addressed a comment at me ... because otherwise I don't get to get on here and with my work I just don't have the time/space ... looking forward to one day retirement in some distant future and the pleasure of wandering around the forum and getting t know y'all. Till then I have to rely on the wonderful ladies who share my odd facebook posts on the forum. Thank you SO MUCH!!
Hi Bev, thank you for the warm welcome and helpful information to navigate through the forum. I'm still figuring out how this platform works, but already excited and imagining my squares travelling the long way!
Thank you so much for the kind welcome.... I am so looking forward to becoming part of this wonderful group.... I have been knitting for many years, mostly for hospitals and orphanages and heard about your organization from a friend... I have now decided to help add to your stash... The blankets are so beautiful and cheerful.... I will try to mix colors and patterns.

I am working an little with my collegues from the school (we are teaching in a secondary school) and we are connected with KAS Croatia.

Stay safe!
