"Seven squares in Hayfield Bonus Aran The colours are 'Signal Red' and 'Rainforest'. The sides are all straight....just bad photography."
"Two super blankets and an amazing array of beautiful squares Karen. I love the way you make the most of every bit of yarn 👍"
"Amazing Karen. You must be so chuffed with all these beautiful squares and blankets. I'm sure you loved seeing how each square turned out. I knit socks and love using up my tiny balls with a slightly thicker yarn. Sock yarn is so colourful. I…"
"WOWZA! What amazing collections you have created. The sock yarns are so varied and colorful, and you've used them to best advantage.
Likewise, the thicker yarns worked up into lively and cheerful squares, and those beautiful basketweave blankets…"

"Sock wools are always so pretty and this is an ingenious way to make them a suitable thickness for KAS, Karen. Your friend has great taste!"
"I understand now why it took you a while to get round to photographing all these squares, Karen. You and Sharon have certainly excelled yourselves this month."
"It would be lovely if the child who receives the blanket has a baby brother or sister so they can match!"
"I just LOVE the way you use up every last bit of yarn......and if you didn't say so, none of us would know that they were 'scraps' of yarn. They all look like 'new purchases' balls of variegated/patterning yarns. You are SO clever, Karen! xo"
"LOVE your selection, Karen!!......especially the ones far left. What interesting colourways."
"Good on ya', Karen!! Two warm, snuggly BEAUTIFUL blankets!!"
"My good friend Bev is a prolific sock knitter and finds that she regularly has large amounts of spare fine wool left after doing each pair. She gave me this large collection of oddments (left) so I set to making an array of different squares, 35…"

Hi Patricia, yes you're right I haven't been active on here for almost two years, but thankfully my meeting up with Karen will change that! Thanks for accepting! Linda
Hi Patricia, thank you for the kind comment on Rachael's blanket, I'm hoping to see it wrapped around a child one day, Diane
Thank you, Patricia. I’m pleased to be your friend.
Thank you so much Patricia. I haven't been "visible" on the forum, but behind the scenes I was doing my "job"for KAS and we had a busy time here. I saw all the beautiful items that were made but wasn't able to comment, and naturally I missed the forum too. xo
Hello Patricia,
Your blankets are gorgeous
Hello Patricia,
Your blankets are GORGEOUS, every single one of them. Congrats!!!
We are glad you have joined us.
Cheers.
Hi Patricia.
A warm welcome to Knit A Square, from over here in Western Australia. :))
Knitting or crocheting an 8" square or two or possibly even a few is a wonderful gift for the children. They love to receive their blankets, created from squares, which come from kindly, caring folk such as yourself, from over 60 countries all over our world. You are encouraged to knit/crochet in any stitch you prefer, but we do ask that they not be too 'lacy' as warmth is our highest priority. PJs (Plain Janes as they are affectionately known) are the backbone to all our blankets. These are single colour squares that are in garter stitch(knitting) or single crochet as they are very solid and provide a contrast to a picture/striped/patterned square or two that may be added to a blanket.By clicking on the KASpattern book tab at the top of the page you can also find lots of patterns provided by our fellow K-A-Sers. If you would kindly check out our wishlist, you can see what items we are currently focusing on.
