Pam Antink replied to Pamela Kirstine's discussion Sad news at home"Sorry Pamela to hear your sad news, 11 years is quite a while for a rabbit so he must have enjoyed living with your family. Also Einstein had the comfort of slipping away in your arms, the best possible way for any being. Do take care and…"

Hi everyone! I am so sorry that I have not been around these past couple of days, but our pet rabbit Einstein died this last Thursday so I am really sad. He was with us for 11 years. He died in my arms. I do not know what killed him but I am supposing old age. I don't know of too many rabbits that have lived that long. So I have had to bury two of my best friends this year. My dog died this summer. We had two pomeranians, brothers, so the one brother (Sparky) is doing great and I pray he stays…See More

CHARIS GRIFFIN replied to Pamela Kirstine's discussion Hi, New Here!"That is what being creative is all about-making something unique ( and often larger than planned!) As the saying goes only you need to know there was ever a Plan A!!"
P. Jeanne Haessler replied to Pamela Kirstine's discussion Hi, New Here!"Charis you made my day talking about your baby blanket threatening to "explode" on you...I did an afghan for my daughter's dorm room at Uni once...supposed to just fold on the end of her bed, right? I used the right hook, right…"
CHARIS GRIFFIN replied to Pamela Kirstine's discussion Hi, New Here!"Hi Pamela, welcome to KAS -this is such a friendly place to be- I only joined the forum fairly recently and already I am addicted! Well done for starting to crochet-before you know it you will be hooked(what a terrible pun! lol) It…"
Linda Maltby replied to Pamela Kirstine's discussion Hi, New Here!"Hi Pamela, nice to have another crocheter on board !
Lots of good hints here . I'll mention a few that work for me.
I find the easier way to make 8" squares is to start in the centre and work out to 8". Mary Lokken has a…"
Andrea Palmatier replied to Pamela Kirstine's discussion Hi, New Here!"Jeanne, I only measure my square after the first 4 rows. Any earlier and I don't get an accurate measurement at all! :o)"
P. Jeanne Haessler replied to Pamela Kirstine's discussion Hi, New Here!"Me popping in again. Crochet hook size depends often on if you crochet tightly (use a larger hook to get the right gauge) or crochet loosely (then use a smaller sized hook). And the hook size recommended on the yarn wrapper is up for…"
P. Jeanne Haessler replied to Pamela Kirstine's discussion Hi, New Here!"Hi Pam. I am forever striving to make my squares 8 inches. They often come out on the larger size. However they will stretch or scrunch up to fit, I've no doubt of that. Perhaps we should say "As close to 8 inches…"

Helen M. Flagg said… Hi, Pamela! Helen Flagg here! You will need 24 oz. of yarn for a good size KASCuddle.
If you use a size 9 needle instead of a 13, you will have to cast on a great many more stitches to make
the total width come out at 29". The length should be 29 inches also plus 5" for the collar.
These are the new dimensions requested by Ronda in South Africa currently so we can
take care of babies up to 9 months. If your yarn is a 4 or a 5 (chunky or bulky) the content should be fine. Just be sure you gauge your stitches so you have enough to make your width. Are you using a circular needle? It's the easiest way to go because
you don't have to purl. Just knit your collar and join at the end of knitting it and knit
round and round! The bottom of your Cuddle should be finished off straight across so
the baby has room to kick. Make sure the seam is sturdy. Good luck and if I can
help again, email me back!
