Hi Rachel, just read your question about yardage. I'm not sure how to answer as I only deal in weights.
If you have 14 oz of yarn I would say go with it. If you happen to run out you can always switch to another colour....lots of us do that and it's surprising how nice it looks.
When I don't have quite enough I make the collar in a complimentary colour and it looks like it is "planned ".
Hello Rachel, so glad you have joined our world-wide family of knitters and crocheters. We are dedicated to keeping the children in South Africa warm.
If you haven’t already, please read through the welcome message on the forum main page for helpful hints and things that might interest you. http://forum.knit-a-square.com
If you appreciate a “challenge”, you might like to join the Monthly challenge. This is a fun way to try new ideas. Every month, a theme is chosen to challenge the forum members to create something new and different......it could be a new colour, a different stitch or a totally new way of knitting/ crocheting. An 8” square is the perfect size for experimenting.
This month’s challenge is What a Beautiful World . The challenge is in it's last week but please have a look at what some of us have made and then join us in making a square or two that express your idea of what makes this a beautiful world.(it doesn't have to be finished by the 30th)
And as always, making the basic square is a wonderful way to relax and still help the children. Plain Jane squares, as they are affectionately called, are the backbone of KAS. They are always needed.
Whatever you decide, we would love to see photos of your work. Click on the photo option at the top of the page, click “Add” and follow the prompts.
