KAS CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE 2015
KAS Christmas Challenge 2015
It’s that time of year again – can you squeeze in a square over the Festive Season? Who’d like to join the KAS Christmas Challenge for 2015?
This is a mini, ONE-SQUARE challenge to run over Christmas and the New Year.
The ‘Rules’ are as follows:
- The challenge runs from today and is open until the 3rd of January. There isn't a deadline for finished squares, although it would be lovely to aim for the end of January.
- I'm the first participant. The next person to join me (second participant) will nominate a 'theme' for me to create one square by posting their challenge in the discussion thread below. Once I've made my square, I'll also post a picture of it in the discussion thread.
- The next person to join (third participant), will nominate a theme for the second participant, who makes a square with that theme, posting a picture of their finished square and so on.
The challenge theme is up to you! – Colours, holidays, nature, flags, seasons, past themes, future themes… anything!
Once you’ve completed your square, you can rejoin the challenge as many times as you like.
I will close the mini-challenge on 3rd of January by posting a theme for the last joiner.
We made some beautiful squares last year, enough for a whole blanket – here’s a link to the album if you’d like to take a look:

So please, whatever you’re doing, have a lovely Christmas and New Year.... ...and who will start things off by challenging me?

Louise, here are my squares. I decided to do both your challenges rather than choose :-)
The green is actually a pretty Christmas green which sets off the "Silverlash" white.
Here's my version of a Peppermint candy. I remember getting these in my stocking along with a Mandarin orange.
And a third one. This is my Happy New Year square, just because I found the blue in with the white....how 'clever' is that [she says] I did this so I would remember to use the blue with the Silverlash :-)
The front and back of the square. I prefer the back for its fluffiness.

Here's my challenge square at last. I made one earlier but hubby took one look and his face showed what he thought in spite of his" That's not too bad." As personally I thought it was awful, I frogged my owl!!! This photo doesn't show the colours very well and, as for a lot of you, the sparkly yarn doesn't come out sparkly enough.
It isn't grey, but beige and brown with silver and gold yarn running through it. I've taken a lot of photos in different lighting and they all come out the same.
I enjoyed this mini challenge and find the vastly different and beautiful squares absolutely delightful.
I wish you all a very happy New Year.
