Welcome to KAS, JS, from up in Canada above MN. You've probably got more snow than us right now, you've sure had more storms! I find KAS such a rewarding cause to be involved in and I hope you enjoy it too. Do check out the New Member Guide which is found by clicking "Main Page" in the header above. To reach the Discussions just click Forum above and if you click on Photos above, you will see items that are heading to Africa, in all colors and shapes, plus those that have arrived there. If you click on Groups, above, you can join the lively USA group or any groups you wish, to chat with. Any questions just PM me. :)
Right now we do not require any baby items. On the 2012 Wish List discussion is an address where baby items can be mailed. We require Go-Overs, Slipovers (soft vests), hats and squares and more squares. Sizes of these items are a minimum of toddler size and preferred is 5 years old to early teen in size, hats fitting a small adult head work for the children. Thank you so much for anything you can do for the orphans, there are literally millions of them.
So, welcome to Knit A Square! Blankets and hats and sweaters direct from our hands to their hearts, a win-win. And now we’re helping out in Zimbabwe too and they need everything over there. I just love making a real difference in a child’s life. So welcome aboard!
Welcome to KAS! I'm from suburban Philadelphia and have been to Altoona for a wedding once years ago. I have some friends who grew up there, too. So glad you joined us!
Hi and welcome to the forum ! We are so pleased you have joined our world-wide family of knitters and crocheters. We are dedicated to keeping the children in South Africa warm.
If you have any questions about anything just ask ! There is always someone willing to help with the answer.
Do you knit or crochet ? Everyone loves to see what others are doing so please post photos of your work. Just click on the photo section at the top of the page and then follow the prompts.
Have you had a chance to look at the e-zines ? They provide wonderful photos of how our squares are helping these vulnerable children. Their smiles are priceless !
After you have a look around you might like to join the US group. There you can discuss specific questions that pertain to your area of the world as yarn weights tend to differ by country. The US group is talking about adopting another creche....last year the group adopted 3 !
