We run a challenge each month. For the next three months it is all about squares. We have a grand total of 55,900 squares we are trying to achieve and would love you to participate.
Don't forget to post photographs of your work. We have an awesome gallery of the work of the KAS community which is really inspiring.
Some of our members further support KAS by making a small monthly donation through Paypal (top left hand corner). This is invaluable help as it ensures we can continue to ensure that your work is speedily distributed to the most needy children in South Africa. We are deeply grateful for any donation we receive, be it monetary or squares to help the orphans. Thank you.

Hi Megan,
I have a daughter-in-law your age who learned to knit last year, mostly from the internet, and she has made good progress. I expect the first stitch you will learn is garter stitch (every row the same, what is often referred to as 'knit') and that is absolutely ideal for squares. On the site we have come to refer to plain 'knitted' squares in one colour as plain janes but they are the most useful and the main part of any blanket which is why this is such a good place for a beginner to make a contribution.
This is picture of Becky's first squares for KAS, made with a little help, and if she can do it so can you.
