I am the adult sponsor for the Forman School Knitting Club. In this club we are teaching the students how to knit and or crochet. This year we decided to knit for charity while learning the basics. Tomorrow I begin teaching 5 boys and 3 girls how to knit with the help of last years members help to teach the new members how to knit or crochet. We found your organization on line and the group decided that it was what we wanted to do.
Once we have completed our squares and shipped them off to you, we would like you to take a picture of the final blanket and e-mail it back to us so we can share it with the community. We think what you are doing is terrific and want to support your effort.
Thank you and we will send you our squares when completed.
Missi and the Forman School Knitting Club.

How lovely - thank you for choosing KAS to knit for - it is wonderful when children knit for children. Keep us posted!
Hi Missi, thank you students so much for choosing KAS - they will make a direct and immediate difference to the quality of the children's lives! If you have time, please do add some squares as they are knitted and add them to the Photo tab for all the members to see. Even better would be a blog on Personal Members Blogs (http://forum.knit-a-square.com/forum/categories/members-personal-bl...) , but only if you have time, but it would be lovely to hear about the development of the students and the club.
When you are about to ship, please let me know and I will inform Ronda - normally, we not able to do this because the of numbers arriving in SA, however, I'm sure we can make an exception as your students represent the future world of caring.
Marvellous!. There hasn't been much news of school groups at the moment. Please send us some pictures of the children knitting too ! Many thanks for choosing KAS and we will all be cheering you on as you go. Best wishes and good luck with the knitting and crochet to your 5 boys and 3 girls!
