OCTOBER CHALLENGE-ALL ABOUT CHRISTMAS !
Christmas already !
Yes, KASFolk, it is time to think about Christmas.
There is a popular song in North America called:
All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth.
For a child in South Africa, perhaps we could change the lyrics to:
All I want for Christmas is a blanket and a hat.
Let’s see how many blankets we can have ready for Christmas. The volunteers in South Africa will sew the squares together but it would be fun to know how many cyber blankets we could make in a month.
Plain Janes in greens, reds; Sparkly squares; Shiny squares and, of course, squares decorated with trees, snowpeople, stars, candles, hearts (to mention a few ideas) will make the blankets very festive.
We will be keeping children like this sweet angel, warm and cozy.
“I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.”
- Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Angel. Decided I don't do well when having to do k1. p1 changes in the middle of a row...got a little messy!! I took a photo indoors, but it didn't show the angel...took it outdoors and my camera decided its not going to show me what I am photographing...just a grey screen!! So it was hit and miss...and this was the best. :(

1 yarn but 2 designs. I love how variegated yarn looks so different depending upon the pattern.
