Late greetings from across the Pond in the middle of Canada! (away on holidays) Welcome to a worldwide network of loving happy people helping African Aids orphans. Glad to have you with us. It's so heartening to know that in this global, often so impersonal world, we're actually making a difference, a REAL difference, in the lives of these children. Check out the Forum, above, for the various discussion threads, and Photos for all the lovely photos of members' work and Groups where you can join groups from countries around the world.
The Featured Discussions grouping (in the Forum section) show the most important subjects at the moment, latest challenges, latest news etc. I also recommend the Anyone Want to Chat Discussion section, which contains the Our Furry Companions and Yarnaholics threads. I am so much a Yarnaholic! Thanks again for helping the AIDS orphans in Africa!
Sounds like you've gotten a good start! It is fun to have connections around the world. I've had a "penpal" in Australia for 50 years! We've never met, only recently spoke by telephone and now email regularly instead of writing letters. Maybe we will meet someday soon. Enjoy your new friends and reignited love of knitting.
Hi Lisa, congratulations ! You are officially a KAS addict ( the best kind) !
As long as the vest would fit a 3 year old it should be fine. Alternatively, you could add a few more inches to the bottom. The children tend to have distended stomachs so we are asked to make them long.
Thanks Lisa, and, yes, it does a while to navigate around the website and forum! Glad about the hats being useful, hope the kids didn't mind you using them as testing sites. Squares are great to do whilst watching trashy TV, then you don't feel so guilty! All the best for now, Pam
Welcome, Lisa, from Cheltenham near Philadelphia in the USA. I have enjoyed watching scenes of Cornwall in "Doc Martin." What a lovely area! So glad you joined us.
Hello Lisa, 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 All About Christmas Have a look at what some of us have made and then join us in making a square or two that is your interpretation of this challenge.
And as always, making the basic square is a wonderful way to relax and still help the children. Plain Janes, as they are affectionately called, are the backbone of KAS. Since it takes 35 squares to make one blanket, squares are needed all the time.
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.
Hi Lisa, Welcome to the KAS forum from the UK. I hope you will enjoy being part of this friendly & lively community. Do you knit or crochet or both? Around the world caring people are all taking direct action and team-working with the Ladies of the Soweto Comfort Club - it is making a difference to many parentless children. When you've had a chance to look around the site you would be very welcome to join the UK group for more local news and chat.
You can also personalize your own page by clicking on the My Page tab on the menu. Also you can access Settings on this page and set your privacy terms. For questions click on the Forum tab and then KAS - Questions, Answers and Help.
Very glad your Google search directed to you our global knitting family! Check out the Hello & Welcome Letter by clicking the "Main Page" tab above. There you will find all kinds of information about KAS. Another great section to look over is the Photo tab - everyone is so supportive of the work on display.
