Did you know? Knit-a-Square has its own podcast that comes out every two weeks and features conversations with local volunteers and members around the world. You can link to it from the podcast page on this website or, better still, follow it on your favourite podcast app so you can get new episodes automatically when they come out. I started the Knit-a-Square podcast in April 2020, not imagining it would serve such a valuable purpose during lockdown. Early listeners thanked me for providing a way for them to feel connected, and newer ones tell me they enjoy it so much that they want to go back and listen to all the episodes from the beginning. Hearing the voices of members we've known for years from the forum brings a whole new level of togetherness and there's nothing nicer than tuning in to updates from Knit-a-Square while you are knitting and crocheting for the children.See More

Profile Information
I've been a keen knitter for most of my life, starting as a reluctant ten-year-old in Housecraft class at school, then taking on all sorts of challenges in my early twenties, like cable-knit cushion covers and Kaeff Facet-designed garments. However, my gradual loss of sight through early-onset macular degeneration limited my access to patterns and I moved into knitting squares for charity in 2003. Finding KAS South Africa is thrilling for me as I've been actively looking for fellow knitters and a way to participate in something bigger than myself. I love what the organisation represents and applaud those who have made it what it is!
