Hi from snowy Melton Mowbray - I was wondering if you had seen my post in the UK discussion group about the KAS 10th birthday party I am organising this August. It would be lovely if some of my local East Midlands KAS sisters were able to be there.
Hi Priscilla, yes lots of people use the squares as a way to experiment with patterns and to use up all the left overs from other projects. My mom and sister are both keen knitters so I always get their odd bits to use up. You never know what you might be given or how the squares will turn out. I guess that is why we end up with such a huge variety of squares and that's hwat makes the blankets so special. I have only been crocheting since last August and joined the forum in September although I was taught to knit when I was little. Look forward to maybe seeing some pictures of your work.

Hi Priscilla and welcome to the forum. I see you are a machine knitter. Do you also hand knit or crochet or both? Please consider joining the UK group on the forum if you get a chance - it is quite good for some more local chat, ideas and suppliers. I hope you enjoy being part of the forum, everyone here is so friendly and helpful.
Best wishes
