Great to have another KAS TEAM GB member!! :-) I cannot remember another member from Northern Ireland although I may be wrong. Have a look at my blog if you would like more news as well as the UK forum if you are not already on there - click on Groups above then UK group. Great to have you with us
Hello Nicky, 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. http://forum.knit-a-square.com
If you appreciate a “challenge”, you might like to join one of the Monthly challenges. 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 using a new colour, a different stitch or a totally new way of knitting/ crocheting. An 8” square is the perfect size for experimenting.
And as always, making the basic square is a wonderful way to relax and still help the children. Plain Jane squares, 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.

This month’s challenge is almost over but do have a look at Japan, The Orient & a Flavour of the East
