Welcome, Juana, from near Philadelphia. My sister lives in Silver Spring, nephew in Gaithersburg, niece in Bethesda...not so far from you. Glad you joined us!
Hello Juana, so glad you have joined our world-wide family of knitters and crocheters. We are dedicated to keeping the children in South Africa warm.
Love the hat in your profile photo. I hope you will make a few to send to South Africa. I can imagine the children having great fun with a hat like this ! I also enjoy crocheting so it's nice to have someone else to chat with about patterns and ideas.
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.
This month’s challenge is Pick it from the Garden in May. A great way to try your hand at making flowers, trees, butterflies, dandelions....anything that can be found in the garden. Or perhaps a solid colour to represent the leaves in the garden or the petals on a flower.
Sometimes 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. When I'm watching TV the Plain Janes are a perfect way to keep my hands busy and not feel as if I'm "wasting" my time watching the boob-tube :-)
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.
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
Here’s another link that will help you find things on the forum
After you have a look around you might like to join the US group. The group is talking about adopting another crèche....last year the group adopted 3 !
