Hi. I have a question please. I have knitted 35 squares for a blanket in memory of a dear friend who died in a car crash. How are the blankets stitched together? I have my tails on the squares. I could send the squares in but would really like them to all be stitched together. Any suggestions? Thank you. À
P. Jeanne Haessler replied to Susanne Shumate's discussion yarn type in the group United States"I agree that acrylic blend yarns are perfectly fine and bulky yarns work up fast, even better as hats, KAS Cuddles, Slipover vests (if soft) and Go-Overs. That is indeed a great price for that yarn. Way to go Suzanne!
Kristie, I…"
Kristie Diener replied to Susanne Shumate's discussion yarn type in the group United States"I have a yarn question also - my sister in law has alot of the "fun fur" yarn she no longer uses. She used this yarn to make scarfs. The yarn is rather "shaggy"! Can I use this yarn to make scarfs? I will…"
Helen M. Flagg replied to Susanne Shumate's discussion yarn type in the group United States"Susie, this yarn sounds like a winner! Acrylic and nylon together are fine. Such a good price!

Debbie Posmontier replied to Susanne Shumate's discussion yarn type in the group United States"Yes, any yarn is okay as long as the squares measure 8 inches. Bulky yarn might also work for a hat or a KASCuddle. See the patterns section above for more info.
Thanks for donating to the creche...we are so excited to be sponsoring a third…"

I have a quick question. Out local craft store had some nice bulky yarn on sale for $2. It is 80% acrylic 20% nylon. Is it ok to use? I know acrylic is.. Also as to the new creche, I will contribute a bit too, just didn't get my check mailed yet. Wonderful work you're all doing. God Bless.. Susie

Hi Susie,
I'm sorry that you have lost both your friend and your father. It must be a difficult time for you. How precious that you are making memory blankets for them. It is a wonderful way to remember them and to help warm a child.
Each blanket is made up of 35 squares. Each square is 8". Yes, send the squares and include a letter saying how special these squares are. The volunteers will be happy to sew them together for you.
(I've posed this in the memorial section but thought you might not see it there).
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
Linda

I'm so sorry for the loss of your loved ones! There is an official category on the forum now for making blankets in honor of somebody. If you are interested in posting about your blankets, and the people they honor, it is here: http://square-circle-forum.ning.com/forum/categories/in-memorium/listForCategory

sandy j said… Hi Susanne: I thinks your idea is beautiful about your friend. Perhaps you can get a group of knitters together in your local area to help you make some squares. There was a man in North Carolina who quilted with some ladies, and when they had completed the quilt they donated it to a charity. He was real proud!! Happy Knitting. Where are you in New Jersey? I'm from there orginally. I'm in Florida now.

Jana Benitez said… - I just got back from Petco. I am there every Sunday with adoptables. I had 2 adults and 2 kittens. No adoptions, just lots of lookers. You might want to talk to ANNE POWELL, her church does knitting for KAS and she might have some good ideas for bringing this to your church. I know she printed up pictures of the kids from the website. Sometimes a picture tells all you need to know.

- I do cat rescue. My picture is CHER, one of our rescues from a few years ago. I entered her into a contest for Rally to Rescue and she was one of 10 finalists, but did not win the big prize. I have 4 cats and 1 visitor(foster). All 4 of mine were a previous foster cat that I just ended up keeping. I do foster dogs, but do not have one at this time.
I have been crocheting for this group for 13 months. I have send over 500 items. I do crocheting for KAS, the local homeless shelter and my rescue groups. Always a venue for my busy fingers. WELCOME!!!
