Thank you for the "like" for the Variegated Pumpkin Square. Welcome to KAS! Do you like to knit or crochet. Mostly I knit (not very good at crochet - very basic, but good enough to make a simple Plain Jane square! :) Hope you have a very Happy Holiday. Peace and Joy.
Hello, Sandy Rutter, from Helena, MT. Imagine meeting you here at KAS!
Have you been making squares for KAS? I just ordered more yarn to make more squares, so you will be seeing more of my stuff, whether you want to or not! I've been in a mental slump lately and have mostly been making simple things, so that's all you'll see from me right now. Glad you joined in.
Hello Sandy, so glad you have joined us. Keeping the children in South Africa warm has brought together a world-wide group of caring knitters and crocheters.
Looking for patterns? Check the KAS Pattern Book for garments and squares for the children. We are focusing on children aged 3-9 years old.

- Learn when your squares arrived in South Africa!
We have a monthly challenge as well. This is a fun way to try new colours, ideas or patterns revolving around the theme. If you wish, you may create something new and different......it could be making a plain square using a new colour, a different stitch or trying a totally new way of knitting/ crocheting. An 8”/20cm square is the perfect size for experimenting. The October challenge is actually an ‘Unchallenge”. For the next two weeks, we are asked to have some extra fun while creating as many squares as possible! Click here to see how people are tackling this Unchallenge and please add your own squares.
If you are interested in joining any of our challenges, please note: Your parcel does not need to arrive in South Africa before the end of the challenge month. Many of us use sea-mail and find parcels take between 6-10 weeks to arrive. Since parcels are arriving all the time, please use the most inexpensive way to send your parcel. Whenever your parcel arrives, it will be appreciated and you are keeping children warm.
As always, making the basic square is a wonderful way to relax and still help the children. Plain Janes, as they are affectionately called, are the backbone of KAS. Since a blanket is created with 35 squares sent by people around the world, squares are needed all the time.
We would love to see photos of your work. Click on the photo option in the tabs above and follow the prompts.
