Hi, my  name is Jeni. i am 36 years old and have knitted most of my life but really don't enjoy it. I learnt to crochet in August 2009 and I am now truly addicted. I mainly stich to granny squares but many family blankets and KAS squares later, I am happy that it works for me. I also invested in a cheap set of plastic hat looms which I find really easy to use and they make a pleasant change from making squares.

I have a 3 year old son called Harrison who means the world to me and was the recipient of my first ever crochet. The good this is that he loves is and tells me it is 'soooo warm'. Very reasuring since so much of my effors now get sent to Soweto for some very need children.

I have started this blog mainly to share with my friends some of my crochet projects with are not 'strictly KAS' and so that I don't bog down the photos pages with extras. I hope you like them.

  • Been busy making little Ferrero Roche covers for my moms church plant sale fund raiser. They were quite popular. Just made a basic sort of green (plant) ball to go over sweet and stitched flower loom flowers on top. Easy.2965050333?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024

    • Fantastic Harrison !!

      I love those loom flowers Jeni and they are in beautiful pastel shades. I was just dreaming of how gorgeous a blanket would look with all those flowers but not very practical !! The colours though would be great .

      • Thanks Sue. Funny about the blanket though. In the past I have put one or two on a KAS blanket but my sister is expecting a baby girl in August and I was making a pram blanket for her. After seeing the sweet covers, she has asked for flowers to be added. Practical or not, she can have it. It may look a bit much but so what. It will be fun. I'll post a pic when it is done.

  • Gutted. Mom reminded me last night of an agricltural show on next week which we had promised to enter some handcrafts in. There is no crochet class or class I can squeeze a KAS blanket into. I am very disappointed as this was my new way of getting a bit of KAS attention by entering blankets complete with some KAS leaflets on the display. Oh well, back to the drawing board with that plan. I already boaght the yarn for it this morning and started working on the squares while I was at an auction today - oh well.

    • Don't be too disappointed Jeni, over the years you have made a magnificent contribution to KAS in many ways!  And we no 100% that the purchased yarn will not go to waste!

      • Thank you Pam, that is a very lovely thing to say - and funnily enough that yarn is now in a blanket and just needing to be stitched together.

        • Really can't complain. We had a great day anyway. We did get a few prizes for other craft items but Harrison stole the show2965050623?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024 with the most points for his age group.

  • Well the family entered lots of classes (baking and craft) at the local Horticultural Spring Show a couple of weeks ago. Harrison won 2 firsts, 1 second and a third. I was very proud. Mom, dad , sister Debz and I all did very well too. I actually made a KAS blanket to enter in the crochet class. I even displayed it with KAS leaflets. We got a first. The blanket is now wrapped up and making its way to Soweto as I type.

    • Thanks all. It was good fun and such an easy way to let a few more folks know about KAS.

    • What a great way to spread the work Jeni - well done - the blanket looks fabulous.  Lovely to have a family effort, great photo for the family album.
