"You're a bad influence, Karen. You're not supposed to give me extra reasons to send for some!"
"I've seen so many beautiful colourways in the Good Old Fashioned Funky Prints range but I've managed to resist temptation so far. You may have just broken my resolve, Karen!"

"This brought back a memory from the dim and distant past.There was a haulage firm based in the village where I grew up and a boyfriend I had when I was a teenager used to love spending time looking at all the different lorries. I can't say I ever…"
"This is beautiful, Sharon. So many shades of each colour."
"Nowhere near empty, Sharon, but I'm pleased with what I've achieved."
"I admire your style, Sharon - you provide bed and board on condition your guest makes squares for KAS!"
"Your appliques are always amazing, Bev, keep them coming!"
"I'm hosting Colour of the Month Blue in May so plenty of time to get some of that blue yarn worked up into squares!"
"A lovely vibrant orange, Pat."
"That's really beautiful, Gloria. You've still got it!"
"I do love experimenting with colour, Bev, and some combinations work out better than others. But then we all have different tastes, so something I may think hasn't worked could turn out to be another person's favourite!"
"Sharon, Bev, and Amy - This is going to be one beautiful blanket."
"I wanted to carry on with my December De-Stash squares until I'd made 100, so this is the final batch of various odds and ends. Time to move on to the orange!"
"That's what I call multi-tasking, Amy! Gorgeous squares."
"An amazing achievement, Karen. I hope this means your hand problems have eased, although I find this current cold snap is making my joints really stiff and you've probably got it worse than us. Roll on spring!"

Hi Patricia, yes you're right I haven't been active on here for almost two years, but thankfully my meeting up with Karen will change that! Thanks for accepting! Linda
Hi Patricia, thank you for the kind comment on Rachael's blanket, I'm hoping to see it wrapped around a child one day, Diane
Thank you, Patricia. I’m pleased to be your friend.
Thank you so much Patricia. I haven't been "visible" on the forum, but behind the scenes I was doing my "job"for KAS and we had a busy time here. I saw all the beautiful items that were made but wasn't able to comment, and naturally I missed the forum too. xo
Hello Patricia,
Your blankets are gorgeous
Hello Patricia,
Your blankets are GORGEOUS, every single one of them. Congrats!!!
We are glad you have joined us.
Cheers.
Hi Patricia.
A warm welcome to Knit A Square, from over here in Western Australia. :))
Knitting or crocheting an 8" square or two or possibly even a few is a wonderful gift for the children. They love to receive their blankets, created from squares, which come from kindly, caring folk such as yourself, from over 60 countries all over our world. You are encouraged to knit/crochet in any stitch you prefer, but we do ask that they not be too 'lacy' as warmth is our highest priority. PJs (Plain Janes as they are affectionately known) are the backbone to all our blankets. These are single colour squares that are in garter stitch(knitting) or single crochet as they are very solid and provide a contrast to a picture/striped/patterned square or two that may be added to a blanket.By clicking on the KASpattern book tab at the top of the page you can also find lots of patterns provided by our fellow K-A-Sers. If you would kindly check out our wishlist, you can see what items we are currently focusing on.
