"I've looked at this again, Sharon. My problem isn't with the actual stitch but with the 2nd Row where the instructions say to work "over" particular stitches but not making it clear where to put your hook. I could really do with a photo tutorial or…"

"As Karen says, we've all been there Sharon. It sounds like you've made a good dent in your stash anyway, and you can guarantee the warmth. Also don't forget blankets always seem to look brighter under the South African sun."

"Thank you Sharon. I'll try another square with your instructions in front of me. They look really clear but if I get in a muddle again I'll be back!"

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.

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 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
