Double sized squares?

Started this discussion. Last reply by Kalai McDonald May 27, 2010. 3 Replies

I wonder if there would be a benefit to making occasional 16x16" squares? I understand that the problem with strips of squares is that they don't necessarily stretch in the right ways like individual…Continue

Strips of squares?

I remember reading somewhere on the forum that strips of knitting (equivalent to several joined squares) were okay to send and could save sewing up time... If this is the case, what dimensions should…Continue

Are felted squares (in the standard size) useful in this context? Originally they were only used for kids in very cold conditions, because they were more wind-proof, but I know that they are also harder to sew together.   I know some felters,…

Snuggle Square (Original Pattern)

I finally wrote up the pattern for the snuggle square toys I was making last December. I've attached it as a PDF. It is an original pattern, so feel free to copy or share it around. It is best suited to a knitter with some experience. You need to be familiar with increasing, knitting in the round with double pointed needles, and picking up stitches. If there is anything in here which doesn't make sense or which is otherwise wrong or misleading, please let me know so I can either explain it or…See More

Getting the neck hole to fit on an actual two-square vest is going to be a problem regardless, because there's not really anywhere to add give without weakening the shoulder joins... Would it be okay to do it as a four-square vest? Two large…

What a great list!   I think my favourites are the books (I especially love books which combine stories, photos and knit/crochet patterns), the square/doll kits, and the design-a-square notebook. Like you, I'd also be interested in getting…

I love those cardboard rulers. I tried to get some printed from the version in resources, but it was hard to find someone who would print and cut to size...

A really great read! I love how many connections KAS is building up, especially in SA, to help make up blankets and get everything where it needs to be! The shop idea sounds interesting too, I'll be watching out for that!

Yes, I like the idea of interdependent and interactive rather than hierarchical.  Never could understand why some needs were more "important" than others.

Thanks Erica,

After reading your article I was reminded of Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs,  something I studied in university many years ago ( showing my age by stating that :-)

Although my facebook page is linked only to friends, there are quite a few nieces and nephews who would find this interesting.

May I link your December Project comments to my Facebook page ?

I feel it is important for many people to read these comments.....they pertain to everyone.  For those of us who have too much, perhaps it will persuade others to donate squares and /or money to
KAS.

Hi Erica

Welcome to our warm KAS community. It's great to see you. We hope you will enjoy the forum and your region's group. You should join the Downunder group.

There are lots of great discussions going on in the forum, including the monthly challenges.

We are still continuing our July Challenge - keep a newborn warm, making blankets for abandoned babies, and there were some great results for the August in Africa challenge - you can see photographs under the photos menu. (Details of both challenges in the main forum). We're also continuing our September challenge which is also under "challenges" in the forum and have got the October challenge which is fascinating, please see click the link for further information:
