OCTOBER, 2013 - THE "UN-CHALLENGE" THEME
For the next two weeks, prior to the beginning of the next BIG SURPRISE CHALLENGE, we are giving you free reign to HAVE SOME FUN, while creating mucho squares!
BUT WAIT! Hold your hat! Or should I say; HOLD – THE – HATS!!
We have learned from Ronda and her crew that they have approximately 3 hats for every potential blanket! We have been asked, for the time being, to please focus on squares rather than hats. Might I suggest that, rather than making a hat, you make 3 squares instead?
As you can see from the photos that Ronda provided, they have A LOT of hats!
Lots of hats!
....and more hats!
SO MANY HATS!
SO, let's work on our fundamental purpose, MAKING SQUARES!!
As always, the greatest need is for plain jane squares! But if you need some inspiration, here are some ideas for you!
Finish your UFOs (unfinished objects!) If you are like me, you probably have a few partially done squares hiding away in your cupboards. This is a great opportunity to finish up all of those squares that were started for a different challenge and never got finished!
Explore your creativity! There are limitless possibilities for exploring your creativity. Color is one of my favorite ways to do that! Where to look? A color wheel can help when trying new colors together!
Fabric can give you some great color combos; I love perusing the fabric store for ideas!
Pump out some major PJs!!! Wouldn’t it be awesome to see stacks and stacks of plain janes?!?! Check out Susan Haines’ stack of 88 squares!
I hope you have some fun with our “Un-challenge”! I can’t wait to see what you create!!
*****Laurie Fortier has graciously created a Pinterest page for the "Un-challenge"! The link for that is here:

Five squares for the fifth anniversary of Knit A Square.... some made from the Chain Stitch Square pattern here on KAS, which has become my go-to pattern, one made from the Corner Stitch Diagonal Crochet Square, which I learned from other KASfolk, one traditional Granny Square, and one with a little Fair Isle knit pattern.
Happy Anniversary, KAS ... and many more!

I don't know if this is the proper "challenge" to add this photo under, but it is such an awesome parcel, I didn't want anyone to miss it! This is "Parcel 10" by Janeen Smith! Isn't it fabulous?!

Introducing Ms. Smiley. She's out on the town strutting those baby blues awaiting her date with Mary Anne's Mr. Smiley (when he's finished). :-)

Here are a couple more for my scant contribution to this Un-Challenge. My days are rather full at the moment, but I am managing to steal a few minutes here and there to do some handwork and browse all the beautiful creations from everyone else xo
This is the one I was thinking about as the trademark square for the Square Circle Forum since it is, after all, a Square Circle :))))
And here is another crocodile stitch ... stitched to a more solid square for ease of sewing :)

Here are a few squares I made while travelling to a wedding last week-end ( I was the passenger at the time :-)
These are my 'Square Circles' to celebrate the 5th Anniversary of KAS. What a great five years it has been. May we have many more !

As promised, here is my version of Mr. Smiley (who will evidently be going out on the town with Robin's Ms. Smiley, LOL)......so I dressed him up in his best bow tie!
