Gorgeous squares Rachel. I hope you and your family are doing well. Spring is here!! Kind regards, diana

Thanks Rachel, Loved making them and now doing some more:))

Thank you so much Rebecca. Well, you knit beautiful hats and squares, we all do what we can, crochet is the best technique for me. xo

Hi Rachel.  Second attempt to reply...first one failed earlier today.  For my regular squares I cast on 35 stitches for 8 ply yarn using 4 mm needles.  For my diagonals I cast on 2 sritches...knit them, then in every row thereafter I increase 1 stitch at the beginning only of every row, by knitting into the front and back of the first stitch.   Continue til you have 44 stitches. Knit 1 row. Then commence decreasing at the beginning of each row...knit first stitch, slip 2 nd stitch knit 3 rd stitch, then pass the slipped stitch over.  Continue til 2 stitches remain, knit 2 together.    ( ps.... I think there are a lot of neater knitters than me)

Hi Rachel, thank you so much. It is crochet it is in the KAS "members patterns".

Thanks Rachel, I enjoyed making the squares but so wish my sewing skills were better:))

Thanks Rachel. It's almost finished. I might add a pom-pom ??

Here is close up of the yarn - pink & lavender -. It's pretty and soft. 

Cheers. / diana

No yet . I thought it was too small but Christine J. who is guiding me through it, says that looks OK, almost like hers. Here is my hat in progress:

Hi Rachel,

I accept with pleasure. / diana

Hi,

The twisted rib - k2|p2 + p1 - like my last handwarmers. I started with 60 stitches but it looks small to me. This is my first attempt to make a hat. I think my yarn is not thick enough, but is pink!!

Hi Rachel.

Happy Birthday. I hope this day is a special one for you.  :))

I am a knitter also Rebecca and learned how to crochet over the last 10 years or so. I never took any classes, just self taught with lots of trial and error, but now I enjoy both.  Your knit hats are great.  I like the patterns and yarn you use. 

Hi Rachel, Here's a link for the pattern for the hats I crochet in case you want to give one a try: http://www.basichatpattern.com/2010/10/front-post-double-crochet-hat.html

Cheers,

your hats are really good :-)

Thank you for the welcome!

Hi Rachel,
danke für die Rückmail und deine freudige Überraschung. ich bin erstaunt, wie wenig Deutsche es hier gibt.

Auf KAS bin ich gekommen, weil ich im Internet nach etwas mit Stricken und Charity gesucht habe. Ich stgricke nämlich für mein Leben gerne und habe jetzt etwas mehr Zeit, aber so viel kann man ja gar nicht anziehen, wie man da stricken könnte. Und die Idee, mit meinem Hobby ein wenig Wärme an weniger Glückliche verteilen zu können, hat mich fasziniert.

Bloß das Schicken ist ein Problem. Ich habe jetzt schon so um die 30 Pullöverchen gestrickt (und stricke weiter, das Modell hier aus dem Forum geht sehr leicht von der Hand), und wenn ich mir die Preise von DHL ansehe, wird mir anders. Wieviel Wolle ich alleine für das Geld kaufen könnte!

Vielleicht gibt es ja auch noch andere Transportmöglichkeiten, da möchte ich mich halt gerne schlauer machen.

Also, bis dann mal,

Heide
