"How beautiful, Amy. Nature always provides the best inspiration."
"Thank you, Patricia. It is such a thrill to see my blankets have arrived safely and are ready to be distributed. And, even after all these years, it never fails to give me a thrill.
But the whole collection is wonderful, and many children will…"

"What a fantastic group of blankets! Good job, Everybody!"
"More of your work here, Sharon."
"A few more blanket photos from Estelle to round off the month."
"I find black is very difficult to photograph, Bev - it's probably draining the colour from the appliques. Love the handwarmers."
"Magnifiques couvertures, carrés superbement réunis et c'est tellement inspirant et de voir les travaux de chacune. "
"And still more treasures! It is amazing to see all the different designs and patterns that make up the squares."
"Fantastic blankets, each and every one is a treasure.
I'm thrilled because I think that blanket #2 has some of my Tunisian squares (4-triangles-make-a-square) in it. It is always so exciting to see how our squares work with others to make a warm…"

"Another black/purple crossover - just a square this time, made with some odds and ends."
"After a long break we have received some blanket photos from Estelle."
"It was an unlabelled buy from eBay so I don't know what it was either!"
"Lovely fruity colours, Mireille."
"A Black and Purple Blanket - a crossover between the CoM for this month and next!"
"It is. Well spotted."
"Some bright squares to go with the black. I thought this pattern and yarn worked rather well together as it made me think of exploding fireworks."

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.
