"I love this idea, I would definitely support it!  I am in favor of window decals (cling not stuck forever) and magnets would be cute too.  Decals would be a great way for people to spread the word about KAS!!"

"Yes, I'd heard that about Homespun, that it's not much fun to work with but the results are great.  Stretch is so important in a garment or hat, this is lovely."

Child's Pullover

"Thanks everyone.  It IS Homespun yarn, a friend gave me a ball over Christmas.  I wasn't sold on the yarn, it wasn't very much fun to work with, but in the end it turned out thick and warm, with lots of stretch so I was sold!"

Hi, Andria! Thanks for getting back to me!

I think the idea of trying crocheting is a fabulous one! I'm new to both knitting and crocheting and thought the latter insurmountable. Then I tried the tutorial on crocheting on the Lands End website - it was SUPER clear. That helped me with straight-line crocheting and soon I was churning out squares faster than ever. (I may be wrong, but I think crocheting produces squares more rapidly than knitting.) Here's that link: http://www.landsend.com/feelgood/#

Go to the videos section on that welcome page and select the crochet video.

However, I kept seeing all these beautiful, colorful granny squares on the KAS website and couldn't start a granny for ANYTHING till I visited the step-by-step NON-video tutorials on the Little Tin Bird blog at the recommendation of a KAS member. At last it all made sense and I've been churning out the grannies ever since. It's so much fun! Here's the link: http://www.littletinbird.co.uk/?page_id=403

Hey, Andria --

Thanks for "friending" me. I've enjoyed your posts up to now, so it's great to get to "meet" you in person!

I live in a suburb of Philadelphia called Radnor, not far from Villanova University, if you've ever heard of that! :-D

I'm new to knitting, even newer to crocheting, and very excited about producing a square a day. Finished today's, by the way.

But what I'm most working on this week is actually sending the squares to Soweto! Wish me luck!

Wow! All those squares and a hat! Bravo. And yes, hats are addictive! Do you have a favourite pattern or do you like to take a simpler hat and use lots of colour?
