APRIL THEME: CHRISTMAS IN APRIL
JINGLE BELLS
Squares are made and sent to KAS from all over the world. When they arrive, they must be sorted, packed into bundles of 35. Then they are given to the Gogo groups and KAS volunteers to be made into beautiful blankets. They are returned to the KAS workshop and finally travel in the KASmobile to be distributed to the children who need them.
This is why we are jingling our bells early in the year. We want our Christmas blankets to be ready in plenty of time for Christmas
Give free rein to your creative talents. You can make PJ’s, striped or appliqued squares.
Trim the tree!
Father Christmas and his elves,
Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer,
polar bears
and penguins,
they can all come to the Christmas party. There’s room for everyone.
Make this Christmas the best yet for KAS’s 10th anniversary.
AND of course all toys are welcome to share the fun.
The PoM this month is the Alphabet crochet square.
Instructions and graphs can be found in the KAS pattern book.
Here is an "N" for NOEL to start you off.

I love this one, Valerie! A beautiful Christmas green. I'm wondering about the stitch, too. I thought it was C2C but now I'm not sure ... xo

The yarn makes a big difference in the look. I've done lots of c2c in variegated yarn, but that masks the effect of the blocks a little. In plain colour, the blocks stand out much more clearly.

I find the direction you look at C2C and also the way the light shines on it can make it look very different. A truly fascinating stitch, but the result is always gorgeous.
