"SUPER colours, SUPERB design, Sharon!! Sooooo eye-catching, I LOVE it!"
"Thank You!"
"I love these colours together, Sharon, and the design is really striking."
"K3P3, 4 row baskets on 6mm needles. Knitting this smaller + slightly tighter kept a dainty, feminine and light feel when knit up xx"

"Ding-a-ling!!! Tremendous Sharon, it makes me think of harlequin's ♥️"
"This is jaw dropping beautiful. You picked a GREAT color combination."
"Magnifique couverture Karen et géniale votre idée pour soulager les problèmes de main."
"Another Tunisian Triangles Blanket. These 4 colors - 2 shades of blue, purple, green - were a curated set that I bought online because I thought it would work well with this triangle pattern. I used Tunisian Simple stitch because it is so simple,…"
"I'm so glad you hit on a design that your hands can tolerate. Still, you need to be careful that you don't overdo.
Did you still do 6 knit sts, 6 purl sts, alternating after 8 rows?
I think we all like this 4-panel look, and I'm now thinking of…"

"So happy to see the new design that is a winner. I really wish I could get my hand on that yarn...scrumptious!"
"LOVING your new design, Karen!!!
The yarns you have used are just SO yummy!! The joining 'stripes' give the whole blanket extra pizzazz."

"Seems like you've hit on a winning idea, Karen. The blanket is beautiful and the fact that it's easier for you to work on is such good news."
"Th U, it's a lot easier on my hands + seems to knit up quite fast. I've got to wait around 12 months for carpal tunnel repair so this design + layout option could be made a lot more in the coming year! "
"A great blanket in every way. The bright border really brings the zing. I like the four-panel look a lot."
"Great use of colour, layout and design ideas through all of these - what a selection, applause applause xx"

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,

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.
