SQUARE HEART OF THE MONTH AWARD

Edited by Gloria Grandy 

THE JULY 2015

SQUARE HEART AWARD 

IS FOR

ARLENE G. - CANADA

In January 2012, Arlene's gorgeous work (and her artistic way of photographing it) began to brighten up the pages of our monthly themes.  

Her work is designed to provide the children with warmth and a bit of pleasure.

This adorable little zebra found its way into a child's arms and put a huge smile on a tiny face!

Arlene's encouraging and supportive comments are welcomed in every Forum discussion she joins. 

For anyone who may have missed this wonderful example of Arlene's creativity, here is a very special poem she wrote.  Simply beautiful, Arlene ... thank you for sharing it with us!

ONE SQUARE FOR AN ELBOW –

Recipe for a KAS BLANKET

One square for an elbow, one for an arm,

One for a shoulder, to help keep it warm.

One for a wrist and one for a knee,

One for a hip - just how hard can this be?

One for a bicep, I nearly forgot!

Where is that green yarn I know that I bought?

One for an ankle and one for a thigh,

One for a shin - a square blue as the sky!

Now one for a bottom to help keep it warm,

Whatever the weather with sunshine or storm,

With violet? Or yellow? as warm as the sun,

Then double these numbers - and two sides are done!

Next, one for the left chest, one for the right,

Two for the tummy with colours so bright.

One for each collarbone, one for each hand,

With love for a child in a far-away land.

Four more for the back and one for the neck,

Have I finished knitting? Just count them to check.

Thirty-five squares created with love,

And maybe an extra, - could I knit a dove?

If I can’t do a blanket, I can knit a square,

If I cover an elbow, there are others here,

We circle the planet and work one by one,

To send in our parcels - a blanket is done!!

With love to all at KAS 

and the wonderful people who join up the squares

- Bless you, every one!
