"Hi everyone, thank you I'm glad you like the blanket.
Bev the yarn was from Spotlight, but no brand name, it was a 400gm bag of what they call Mill Ends. I have another bag in mouves / pinks. The reason I have grey on the corners is because I ran…"

"I am so pleased to see my latest parcel arrived safely.
In record time I must add as it was posted early February.
Sadly it seems that surface mail will not become available again with Australia Post."

"Diagonal Squares
I have some self patterning yarns and I wondered how they would look knitted as diagonal squares.
I enjoy kintting diagonal squares, but don't like the stitching up involved."

Hi Sandra.

A warm welcome to KAS....from over here in Western Australia. :))

Making the basic square is a wonderful way to relax and help the children. Plain Janes, as they are affectionately called, are the backbone of KAS. Since a blanket is created with 35 squares sent by people from around the world, squares are needed all the time. The basic square being a garter stitch/single colour or striped square or I think it is single or double crochet if your preference is for crochet. By clicking on the KASpattern book tab at the top of the page you can also find lots of other patterns provided by our fellow KASers.

Please check out the 'Helpful Hints' tab at the top of the page as this may answer many initial questions you may have and will help you get started. Any other questions...just ask...we love to help. :))

Here is a link to postage information, including our packing slip that we attach INSIDE our parcel to assist in the unpacking/recording process at KAS in S. Africa.

Hi Sandra, happy to add your photos for you.

A tip for adding photos: In the top left side of the comment box, there is a small picture second from left, when the cursor is hovered over it, it says 'Image'. If you click on the icon it will give you the option to add the photo directly into the comment box rather than adding as a file, which is what happens if you click 'Upload file'.

Looking forward to more wonderful puppets !
