Welcome to Knit A Square ntebaleng from the middle of Canada. It's thrilling to be able to directly help the wonderful South African children and I'm glad you joined us. Feel free to ask questions of any of us, check out the many discussions, look at the photos of what some members have done and join some of the groups if you like.
Hello Ntebaleng, so glad you have joined us. As a South African you understand the difficulties the children face every day.
If it is convenient you may drop your squares at the office in Randburg. The volunteers meet every Tuesday to open the mail. Please phone ahead as the office isn’t open every day. The number is: 082 655 5150
Perhaps while you are there you would like to assist in opening parcels and sorting squares. Assistance is also needed in these areas: helping at distributions; writing/emailing thank you letters or sewing squares into blankets.
On the forum, we would love to see photos of your squares and just 'jump' into any conversation that interests you :-)
A warm welcome to Knit-A-Square....from over here in Western Australia.
Making the basic square is a wonderful way to relax and help the children. Plain Janes, as they are affectionately called, are the backbone of Knit-A-Square. Since a blanket is created with 35 squares sent by people from around the world, squares are needed all the time. The basic square being a garter stitch/single colour or striped square or I think it is single or double crochet if your preference is for crochet. By clicking on the KASpattern book tab at the top of the page you can also find lots of other patterns provided by our fellow KASers.
Please check out the 'Helpful Hints' tab at the top of the page as this may answer many initial questions you may have and will help you get started. Any other questions...just ask...we love to help. :))
If you'd like to see what other KASers have been making please click on the photo tab at the top of the page....and feel free to add photos of your own work...we would love to see them. Just click on 'add photos' and follow the prompts. Anything you care to make and send will be so appreciated by Ronda and the team and the children of South Africa.
If you want to see the most active discussions at present, you may like to click on the 'main page' tab and they are listed in the centre of that page...just pick one and click on it. It is a large website, but with so much fun and info.
Each month we have a fun theme to inspire and motivate us. If you would like to see this month's theme, please click on this link:
