Hi from the middle of Canada Jill! It's summer here, the A/C is going, BBQ'ing is on the go too and I hope you're staying warm in the middle of your winter over there. Any questions just PM me or one of the other Moderators. You can click on Main Page above to get an overall view of Knit A Square, click Forums for discussions, and click Photos to see some of what others have been up to. Hope you enjoy warming the orphans as much as the rest of us do, it's quite addicting after a while, plus a VERY good excuse to go buy more yarn!!!
Hello Jill, 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.
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. http://forum.knit-a-square.com
If you appreciate a “challenge”, you might like to join the Monthly challenge. This is a fun way to try new ideas. Every month, a theme is chosen to challenge the forum members to create something new and different......it could be a new colour, a different stitch or a totally new way of knitting/ crocheting. An 8” square is the perfect size for experimenting.
Please have a look at what some of us have made and then join us in making a square of two that is your representation of the Far East.
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. They are always needed.
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.
