"For a KAS knitter/crocheter, that is definitely the kind of friend to have.
If you don't like working with some of the yarn or the colors, you can always send some of the skeins on to KAS directly. They always need yarn to sew up the blankets. …"

"I was laughing because I thought this sound like Karen's friends - and then see she's made the same comment. I see a few Colours of the Month in that pile!"
"This comment + picture made me really smile Pat x. I have friends who do this to me as they know it's my favourite kind of project every now and then - Good luck + enjoy!! xx"
"What a lovely, thoughtful friend you have, Pat! "
"I'm trying to use up some of my stash. My friend is doing the same .Her way of destashing is to offload some of her yarn on to me.!,"
"Thanks Patricia. I've downloaded it and will definitely give it a try."
"Lovely selection! I see knitting and appliques from Bev and also handmade seashore animals + shells etc from Amy. I also spotted some jazzy variegated squares of mine on the adorable monkey blanket. Loads of clever use of colours + layout…"
"I use this pattern which Sharon B. put on the Forum some time ago : https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/multidirectional-diagonal-..."
"It was an eBay bargain purchase, Lesley, but was unbranded so I'm afraid I don't know the make."
"I love these squares, Patricia, the pattern and the colours. I NEED this yarn!! :))"
"Brilliant blanket, Sharon, and yes, definitely suggests an African sunset!"
"It is the multi-directional diagonal square, similar to the one in the 35 Squares make a blanket pamphlet but knit all garter stitch. Should I send you the pattern?? "
"Magnifiques carrés Patricia : pour moi ils évoquent l'Ecosse, l'Irlande ou encore la Bretagne quand la bruyère y fleurit sur les côtes rocheuses et je les vois bien dans la couverture à la mémoire de Marion. C'est vraiment, beau inspiré (par un…"
"That blanket looks exactly like an African sunset. Their sunsets are so vibrant and striking."
"Patricia is that diagnal square in the pattern book ? your lovely yarn is suited to that pattern. Those squares would look wonderful mixed into Marion's blanket."
"I'm thrilled to be in such good company! Glad Bev sees the same sunset, and Patricia would make the same blanket. I'm going to be grinning all day!"

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.
