Hello Ginger, from Sault Ste. Marie, so glad you’ve joined us. Keeping the children in South Africa warm has brought together a world-wide group of caring knitters and crocheters.
I see you've already joined Canadian Corner. There is a discussion called "Checklist for sending to South Africa" . This will give you some direction on how to proceed. There is also one for postal rates ( click on "view all")
But if you have questions that aren't answered, please ask ! We are always happy to help.
There are a few members in your area....Newmarket, Uxbridge. Not really close but closer than I am :-) It would be great if you started your own group. This is a wonderful place to chat and make friends even if we don't get together in person.
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
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.
As Jeanne said, we would love to see photos of your work. Click on the photo option at the top of the page and follow the prompts.
Greetings Ginger from up in NW Ontario, Dryden to be exact! Welcome to a worldwide network of loving happy people helping African Aids orphans. 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, 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.
The Featured Discussions grouping (in the Forum section) show the most important subjects at the moment, latest challenges, latest news etc. I also recommend the Anyone Want to Chat Discussion section, which contains the Our Furry Companions and Yarnaholics threads. I am so much a Yarnaholic! Thanks again for helping the AIDS orphans in Africa! Any questions, just ask. :)

Welcome to KAS Ginger and warm greetings from South Africa :)
Hi Ginger, so glad you navigated your way from Facebook to here!
Thanks everyone! I'm very stoked to get started! I'll keep everyone posted as my group of one in Bolton grows!
Welcome, Ginger, from suburban Philadelphia...a bit far to join a group, but we can be virtual groupies. Glad you joined us!
