We love baseball, too! My father was a pitcher in the 1930's and 40's and had a contract with the Cardinals farm team during the Depression...$65 per month! He never played b/c he was needed at home to help his parents. I still have the contract! We also have a set of tickets for the 1963 World Series which the Phillies expected to play and didn't make it in the last few games. My husband is a musician and plays on the field at the Phillies game next week, Aug 7th for Jewish Heritage Day. He's done it for the last few years and it is so exciting to see him up on the big screen and down on the field before the game and during the 7th inning stretch! So, we have another connection besides KAS and the Pioneer Valley!
Welcome, Christine, from suburban Philadelphia. One of our favorite vacation spots is the Pioneer Valley in Western Mass...near Shelburne Falls. Glad you joined us!
Hello Christine, so glad you have joined our world-wide family of knitters and crocheters. We are dedicated to keeping the children in South Africa warm.

Do you like to make hats ? Ronda, in South Africa, has asked us to make 600 red and white ones ! Click here to find out why.
And as always, making the basic square is a wonderful way to relax and still help the children. Plain Jane squares, 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.
Whatever you decide, we would love to see photos of your work. Click on the photo option at the top of the page, click “Add” and follow the prompts.
