If you're feeling really energetic, perhaps you will achieve a whole blanket's worth of squares.  :))
   
and remember, it's not too late to include toys for the children
  
And if you're still not sure where to begin, these tunes will get those needles, hooks and looms working, I'm sure.....
 
Please sit with me under Chris's umbrella as we make some LOVE-LY squares to CELEBRATE AFRICA!
Lots of squares, blankets, hand warmers, hats and toys.
Our love and care in every stitch.
Volume...... so there are always enough items for every needy child.
Every child receiving our knitted and crocheted items will know that they are valued and loved.

    CtC blanket. Bev, Finally I finished this blanket for your February Theme. I thought about the colours of the African soil, the beautiful colors of the sea and lakes, the woods and the sun. Finished it off with a dark brown edging. Especially for you I made the background in pink....well, pink...something like that :)))  xo

    I'm a little late posting this. I had a lot of trouble squaring this larger circle and had to make him some little friends to strengthen the corners as they were a bit gappy. The greens are much more vibrant than they appear here. 2930381628?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024
