"Some more Gogo blankets."
"Super blankets Karen and lovely ones from the Gogos especially the pink granny squares.
"
"
"Also love the bright and beautiful granny square one 5th from the bottom. "
"Tout est beau et plein d'amour mais j'aime en particulier la n° 16 en partant du haut (on dirait un tapis haut de gamme) et la suivante (granny multi)"
"Love the vibrant colors and pattern of the fifth blanket from the bottom. Also, the purple and yellow one above that is very pretty. "
"These colours look so warm, Amy."
"You've given me an idea there, Amy, I think I'll try the same green colours but with a red centre. Watch this space!"
" I had to make a green one!"
"I've counted 64 different colours there, Karen. Astonishing!"
"This would be perfect for an older child, Amy."
"Thank you, Estelle, and thank you Amy for including my blankets in your introduction. It's nice to see them again."
"More blankets from the Gogos, plus Wandi, Ronda, and Ina."
"Can I just add, Karen, that Amy's given you the American terminology so for us it's double crochet for sc and treble crochet for dc. Although if you're watching it on YouTube it probably doesn't matter what names they're using."
"It's so interesting to read comments like this from people in other countries, Sharon. As far as I'm aware in the UK if you've got a garden you can have a washing line. A lot of people use a rotary line though so I don't think that would work as…"
"The face on the sun is so darling, Amy."
"More from the Chiawelo Gogos."

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.
