Sandie Roach commented on Sandie Roach's blog post How many things can you do at once?"@ BettyJean Karopczyc - Good on you! I bet you get piles of squares knitted up for KAScare. Since I've been knitting squares I am quite amazed at the number of empty spaces I used to have that are now filled with knitting squares. I've…"
P. Jeanne Haessler replied to Sandie Roach's discussion FIFA Football World Cup - South Africa - 11 June - 11 July 2010"None, except an image of a soccer ball draped with a blanket comes to mind, drawn or photographed, maybe with a smile drawn on the ball? Not sure how that could be used but it's a start. Can you imagine what publicity one would get linking KAS…"

Sandie Roach replied to Joanne Mansell's discussion Mothers and negativity in the group Downunder and land of the long white cloud"Hi Joanne,
I'm just a knit-a-square knitter like you.
I knit, and then give a giant leap of trust in the universe and post off my items.
I'm not sure if this will help you, but somehow I just know that the McDonald family will get them…"
P. Jeanne Haessler commented on Sandie Roach's blog post Knitting for Therapy!"That's beautiful to read about your Mum, Sandie. Repetitive tasks can be very beneficial for many reasons. And when we're doing something we enjoy and/or am inspired by it doesn't feel like therapy at all. :) I have read pretty much…"

I have just joined the OZ group and I have had fun finding all the other people in Aust. doing work for KAS. I am getting to the end of my yarn so a friend is giving me some more soon. It certainly saves money. I have had fun making my new little picture book as a fund raiser for KAS. "Wool-Girl and the Balls of Wool". I have just knitted my first diagonal square - it was fun.

- Hi Sandie
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:
