Welcome to Knit A Square Lynn, from the middle of Canada! Please feel free to visit Discussions or join Groups to talk about things or go to Photos to see what some members are up to. Talk about yarn artistry! It’s a very positive group and it all goes to help the poorest of the poor, AIDS/HIV orphans who are parentless and being cared for by many good and kind folk in often desperate surroundings. Our crocheted, knitted and sewn items can help give a child hope, warmth and a smile. Glad you’re with us!
http://forum.knit-a-square.com/photo will show you photos of members wonderful creations, including decorative squares or squares of one colour which we affectionately call Plain Janes. Each and every one is very much needed, it takes 35 squares to make one blanket.
I hope you have fun and if you have any questions please ask, we are a very friendly, chatty bunch :)
Hello Lynn, 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.
Check out the ‘Helpful Hints’ tab at the top of the page for information about the forum. “How Do I ????” and the “FAQ” category should answer any general questions you may have. If not, please ask.
Looking for patterns? Check the KAS Pattern Book [see tab above] for garments and squares for the children. We are focusing on children aged 3-9 years old. This age group is in need of warm garments and blankets.
When you are ready to send your parcel, visit both these sites for important information. Click Here for tips and here for postage rates.
Once you have sent your parcel you can check the squares lists. Every month, we list the squares, beanies and tops that have arrived in South Africa. To find the ‘Squares lists’ please click the Discussions tab [in the toolbar above] then on “Tallies/Item Count” for an up-to-date listing. We also have a ‘Drive to Fill Ronda’s KASvan’ with squares and would appreciate if you would add to this challenge.
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 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 at the top of the page and follow the prompts.
