Hello Polly from a fellow Frenchie. I live in the Creuse departement and have been a member of the KAS community for a year. It's really lively. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do.
Hello Polly, so glad you have joined us. Keeping the children in South Africa warm has brought together a world-wide group of caring knitters and crocheters.
We have a challenge for each month. This is a fun way to try new colours, ideas or patterns. A theme is chosen, and if you wish, you may create something new and different......it could be making a plain square using a new colour, a different stitch or trying a totally new way of knitting/ crocheting. An 8”/20cm square is the perfect size for experimenting.
This month we are playing at the seashore. Please join us at Sea, Seashore and Shells with your representation of a day at the beach or add a comment to the discussion.
As always, making the basic square is a wonderful way to relax and still help the children. Plain Janes, as they are affectionately called, are the backbone of KAS. Since it takes 35 squares to make one blanket, squares are needed all the time
If you are interested in joining any of our challenges, please note: Your parcel does not need to arrive in South Africa before the end of the month. Those of us who use sea-mail find parcels take between 6-10 weeks to arrive. Whenever your parcel arrives, know it will be appreciated and that you are keeping children warm.

Hi Polly, great to have you with us - welcome from Shropshire in the UK
Hi Polly, just saw your comment about posting squares. Isabelle flies regularly to South Africa and takes squares for members from France. Please contact her on her profile page http://forum.knit-a-square.com/profile/IsabelleBourguignon?xg_sourc... or join the France group to contact her. http://forum.knit-a-square.com/group/france
