"There's a story attached to this pattern, Diane. I discovered, and loved, Double Grit Stitch several years ago, and then I thought that if there's a stitch called Double Grit Stitch presumably there's also a single Grit Stitch - which there is. Some…"
"Lovely neat squares, Diane, and a very jolly teddy."
"This is fabulous, Sharon, and a great stash buster too."
"Colour of the Month squares in Aurora Stitch (aka Grit Stitch)."
"A perfect start for the blanket, Amy."
"Yes, I was thinking in terms of one whole piece. The stitch is not actually as complicated as it looks once you get into the rhythm but whether I'd still be saying that after such long rows I'm not sure!"
"Another new (to me) pattern. I went a bit wrong on the first try because I misread the instructions (too impatient!) but I think I got it right the second time. I'm wondering if this would look rather nice as a whole blanket.

"Well done, Mireille!"
"Very colourful selection, Karen."
"Yes, I felt the sky and the leaves needed some explanation! We did see the sun on a couple of days this week but today we're back to grey, although at least no sign of the white stuff."
"I finished and photographed this blanket last autumn but it seems it never made it onto the Forum. I think the colours look vaguely African."
"You certainly don't let the grass grow, Karen! The lady at the Post Office where I post my parcels gave me a bag of yarn this week and I thought about your tradition of using some straightaway so I've done the same thing (no photo - half a square so…"
"This is gorgeous, Mireille. I love the soft colours but if they're brighter in real life then that's good too!"

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.
