Hi, Linda, from across the Atlantic! A Philadelphia-area KAS-er checking in to welcome you to Square Circle Forum! You'll find support and friendship here, as well as inspiration. One of the things I like best about this group, especially since I joined as a beginner, is an tantalizing nudge to step out of your comfort zone and try new things. At first it seems that new techniques are beyond you, but then a friendly mentor pops up from the membership and explains it all clearly. Suddenly, you're doing it!
Hello Linda, from another Linda in Canada :-) 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. The FAQ category should answer any general questions you may have. If not, please ask. http://forum.knit-a-square.com
If you would like to try something different, you might like the Monthly challenge. This is a fun way to try new ideas or patterns. Every month, a theme is chosen, and 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 a totally new way of knitting/ crocheting. An 8”/20cm square is the perfect size for experimenting.
This month’s challenge is In Celebration of the Plain Jane. Check out the different interpretations of a “Plain Jane” or basic square. Making the basic square is a wonderful way to relax and still help the children. Plain Janes are the backbone of KAS. Since it takes 35 squares to make one blanket, squares are needed all the time.
Hi Linda and a very warm welcome to KAS from Norfolk UK. (I am in Norwich too)!
We are a very friendly bunch so please feel free to ask any questions, there is always somebody with an answer, as I have found out!
Do take a look around the site using the tabs at the top of the page. The photo section has some wonderful pics of peoples work and when you feel ready it would be great to see some of your work but it isn’t a necessity to do this. It’s a great place for ideas and inspiration to keep the children warm.
You can also click on the 'Groups' tab at the top of the page and join us in the UK group.
So glad you have joined us. Happy knitting/crocheting. :)
