Hello Logan, 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.
Every month, we list the squares, beanies and tops that have arrived in South Africa. To find the ‘Squares lists’ please click the Forum tab [see tabs above] then on “Tallies/Item Count” for an up-to-date listing.
Click Here for a few tips for sending your parcel. Postal information is here.
We have a challenge for each month. This is a fun way to try new colours, ideas or patterns. 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 trying a totally new way of knitting/ crocheting. An 8”/20cm square is the perfect size for experimenting.
This month we are Celebrating the Variegated Square. These yarns are such fun and create a uniquely different pattern with each square made. We would love to see your creations ! Click here to join the discussion.
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 different squares to make one blanket, squares are needed all the time
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 month. Those of us who use sea-mail find parcels take between 6-10 weeks to arrive. Whenever your parcel arrives, know it will be appreciated and that you are keeping children warm.
Greetings Logan from up in Canada above MN. I hope the recent winds, storms and rain haven't washed you away down there. We're so glad to have you here with us at Knit A Square. The header above shows Forum for discussions, Groups for any chatty groups you'd like to join in on and Photos shows just a small portion of the very creative yarn work some KASers are doing now. Any questions, just ask me, Pam, Linda...anyone will help out. Oh, regarding cotton yarn, the one problem I have with it is how cold it gets when wet and they do have a rainy season over there...for example pure wool hats stay warm even when wet. That being said, I'd suggest asking over in Forums, under the heading Cafe KAS in Anybody Want to Chat and you'll get lots more answers than just my thoughts. love, Jeanne
