I know what you mean about hugging the children and I love how you say you can hug them with your squares. My knitting has slowed considerably as the needs of my elderly mother and her sister and of my grown sons have filled my spare time. I look forward to a time when I can work less and have more time for myself. I've just started some wrist warmers and that project will go quickly if I can get to it a few minutes every evening. Enjoy the yarn shopping....one of my favorite activities!
Are you a knitter or a crocheter?...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.
We also have a theme for every month that you might like to view and participate in, but there is absolutely no pressure to do so. The theme for April can be found here: http://forum.knit-a-square.com/forum/topics/april-2014-challenge-co... You may like to check out the glorious colour combinations our members are using. Bright, bright, colours are so uplifting for the children...but really, every colour used and every square created by us, shows the children that someone loves and cares about them.
