35 SQUARES MAKE A BLANKET - FUNDRAISING IDEA
35 SQUARES MAKE A BLANKET
FUNDRAISING IDEA
Recently a booklet of knitting patterns for 8" squares became available for FREE download in our KAS Shop.
I am challenging myself to make one of every pattern by 2022 (17 weeks away!). Many of the 35 designs are new to me and may prove difficult to accomplish, but I will give them all a good go!!
To benefit KAS through my challenge I would appreciate US$ sponsorship per different pattern square, or as nominated US$ pledge for my total effort.
Wish me luck!
(Money to be submitted in January please)

Well.......... I'm off and clicking here with pledges of $1 per different square from my Husband and Son respectively, up to the maximum of 35 - which means $70 on the board already. I'm pretty touched that both my "boys" chose to support my endeavours as usually they just pull my leg about the amount of "strew" I leave beside and behind me when I am, or have been, knitting! A great start and support from family to boost my resolve.
Other fantastic news is that an anonymous member has pledged to sponsor match!!

Another magnificent pledge has come forward to me privately from a member who wishes to stay anonymous, $10 per different square from the booklet completed with photographic proof. Haven't we got off to a terrific start!! !! I'm delighted ✔️

Well done! You are off to a great start. Thanks for including how many sts you needed for DK, as most of my yarn is 8 ply.
