Welcome to the June 2023 Theme
BEAUTIFUL AFRICA
Over the years of Knit A Square, we have had many themes featuring Africa. The squares and blankets and toys have been amazing!!
With this in mind, we can take a trip back down memory lane and gain inspiration from past endeavours, to create some loving warmth for the recipient children of 2023......
Using the colours of the South African flag....
Africa's unique wildlife....
The African flower, which everyone has come to know and love....
Squares and blankets representative of African colours and design.......
During distributions, part of our 'care pack' for each child is a toy to treasure......
An important day on South Africa's calendar is Mandela Day....
Finally.....however you choose to represent

Last five squares of African animals. :))
Lions and apes.
Yarn was a cake called Lime Musk. There is not any lime or musk in it that I can see. Colours are more like avocado/mustard, salmon pink, peach through to an orange/reddish colour .
Still have five more appliques to sew on. Wish I was not sooooo slow at handsewing. :))
Fantastic collection, Bev. I like the colors, whatever their names are, and the appliques are perfect (as always!)
Super squares, Bev - the colours are great, and the children who encounter these animals are going to love them!
Another fantastic set of appliquéd squares; I’m amazed your fingers aren’t raw, they aren’t the easiest of things to sew on, I know they’re tough!
Cheers Bev honey! I've enjoyed this theme and using up some yellow wool has made a little space. I do have more knitting to finish which was for this theme, but alas my personal life and headspace is scrambled at the moment, so I feel I may put my half done projects away to finish at the end of the year clearout theme time.
Thinking of you and sending best wishes for regaining your zen, soon, Karen. xo
Beautiful work from your needles as always this month, Karen. Hoping that things settle down for you, and you can breathe again.
As I have had a lot of this lemon, butter, white, mustard mix wool for years I decided to use the last of it up after doing blanket 71. I basically knit the wool from both ends of their balls and waited to see what it looked like for hats. 8 hats, wool used!
Clever way to use your yarn up, with brilliant effect! :)
