Nice to hear from you, Jenny. Yes, we have had extreme cold here for quite a long time. However, on the east cost we are now getting it a little milder ... not as mild as you, I'm sure, but for us it's a nice change. We're at plus 1 C at the moment, and I'm getting ready to go for a walk :) We had snow yesterday, but it's melting today. I just can't wait for the end of all this white stuff so that I can get back to going to the beach ... LOL
I do hope you will share photos of your work with us. I, for one, get a lot of inspiration and ideas from looking at the beautiful work others are doing. I have learned so many new techniques since joining KAS. I guess that's what we're all about ... sharing :)
The forecast for today was 33C...it is 4pm and it has risen to 33.6...thankfully the expected temps from tomorrow are between 23 - 27C for the next week.
Happy knitting. :)) I am trying to do some duplicate stitching on a square....might put it aside til later on tonight, when it may be a little more pleasant. :))
OOps, I had forgotten that you had said you were KNITTING squares...you will have to blame my mistake on the heat...it has turned my brain to mush....LOL.
Welcome to KAS from over here in hot and sunny Western Australia.
Do you like to knit, crochet, or perhaps both?
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.
I see you have found our March challenge, please feel free to participate, but there is absolutely no pressure on you to do so...all squares are needed, we just have monthly challenges to add a little fun and inspiration. :))
