Welcome to KAS Rita from over in Canada. What a great idea, to dedicate your knitting to your mother's memory. My mother was a great knitter too. I'm not, so I crochet, but I still have some items she knitted for me and they're very precious. As for knitting for the South African AIDS orphans, it's so heartening to know that in this global, often so impersonal world, we're actually making a difference, a REAL difference, in the lives of these children. So glad you can join us! Check out the Forum, above, for the various discussion threads, and Photos for all the lovely photos of members' work and Groups where you can join groups from countries around the world.
Hi Rita, welcome to the forum ! I spent a few weeks in Thailand many years ago and really enjoyed my time there. It is a beautiful country and the people were so friendly.
We are pleased you have joined our world-wide family of knitters and crocheters. We are dedicated to keeping the children in South Africa warm.
If you have any questions about anything just ask. There is always someone willing to help with the answer.
Do you knit or crochet ? Everyone loves to see what others are doing so please post photos of your work. Just click on the photo section at the top of the page and then follow the prompts.
Have you had a chance to look at the e-zines ? They provide wonderful photos of how our squares are helping these vulnerable children. Their smiles are priceless !

Rita here is a discussion on doing plain knitted squares on the diagonal if you like: http://forum.knit-a-square.com/forum/topics/diagonal-squares
I'll see what I can find in plain knitting in the Patterns section and pop that here too.
