      Welcome, Kathryn, from suburban Philadelphia in the USA. So glad you've joined us!

      Hello so glad you have joined us. Keeping the children in South Africa warm has brought

      together a world-wide group of caring knitters and crocheters. As the name implies, we

      focus on sending 8” x 8”(20 cm x 20 cm) squares to be made into blankets to provide

      comfort to the many children in need.

      Looking for patterns? Check the KAS Pattern Book for garments and squares for the

      children. We are focusing on children aged 3-9 years old.

      Please visit “Helpful Hints” [see menu bar above] for information about:

      - Questions you may have (FAQs),

      - How to navigate the forum,

      - Postage information and

      - Learn when your squares arrived in South Africa!

      We have a monthly challenge as well. This is a fun way to try new colours, ideas or

      patterns revolving around the theme. If you wish, you may create something new and

      different......it could be making a plain square using a new colour, a different stitch or

      trying a totally new way of knitting/ crocheting. An 8”/20cm square is the perfect size

      for experimenting. The December challenge is "It's A Red Month" and includes any squares with red on them.

      At the same time we are running a second challenge: KAS Reaches Great Heights for the

      Children has us making squares to reach the height of Table Mountain in South Africa. That

      is 178,000 squares ! Click here to join us by adding your squares and a photo, if possible,

      to the total.

      If you are interested in joining any of our challenges, please note: Your parcel does not

      need to arrive in South Africa before the end of the challenge month. Many of us use sea-
      mail and find parcels take between 6-10 weeks to arrive. Since parcels are arriving all the

      time, please use the most inexpensive way to send. Whenever your parcel arrives, it will be

      appreciated.

      Making the basic square is a wonderful way to relax and help the children. Plain Janes, as

      they are affectionately called, are the backbone of KAS. Since a blanket is created with 35

      squares sent by people around the world, squares are needed all the time.

      We would love to see photos of your work. Click on the photo option in the tabs above and

      follow the prompts.

      Enjoy !
