Hi Valerie - Madge Nimocks here! I've knitted a couple if squares but just not sure they'll be right....I;m such a basic knitter - I'll see if I can attach a photo! Thank you.
Thank you Valerie! I'm excited to part of square circle! I'm trying not to be intimidated by these awesome photos! What a fabulous initiative. Just started my first square!
Hi Valerie. Thanks for your message. It's good to be part of this group. I've got my first batch of 35 squares ready to dispatch. Can I ask a dumb question? The instructions talk about packing in bags; but I have a cardboard box. Is there any reason why I shouldn't use that instead? Kind regards, Kate
Thankyou for the welcome. I am currently wrestling with a square in Herringbone stitch which I am learning from a youtube video. It has to be just about the slowest stitch to knit up!!s
Since lockdown, I have been trying to learn a few new stitches as previously only a garter stitch and stockingette knitter. Hoping to send out a few squares soon when we are able and have tried my hand at the armwarmers too.
Feels good to be apart of something so worthwhile.
I've heard of "corner-to-corner" before, but never learned it. Tomorrow at our local crochet guild meeting, they will teach the "corner-to-corner", so I am looking forward to learning it! I'm going to try this stitch for my squares!
Hi Valerie, thank you for approving my request! It is really amazing to see many photos in here, those squares and items traveled from all over the world. I am looking forward to doing the same, as my small humble efforts... Looking forward to being a part of this good cause :)
My pleasure Val, I hope they haven't recorded yet, and that is most likely the case, thinking of Holiday Seasons and Ronda having been away on holidays. xo
Hi Valerie, Thank you for your message. It is correct that only the names from A to F appear. Ronda was away and she didn't have the time to complete the list. The remainder of the alphabet will be published in February. Hope this info is of help. xoxo
Thanks Valerie for generous offer. My daughter is training hard for the marathon in Paris and I'm already making plans to go to see her. And Saint Tropez next for Jennifer, that is exciting. Love that place. We have friend in Lavandu. And in the summer we go for ice cream to SaintTrop. Fingers crossed for our girls.
I missed her and the marathon this year. We were away, just got back last night. I hope she finished and had a great time in NY . My daughter is in training to run the Paris Marathon in April!! Cheers. DD
Thanks, Valerie - I did find a pattern for the Pentagon, but it looks a bit tricky for my 'beginner' crochet skills as yet. I'm keeping it on my 'future projects' list :)) !
Hello Valerie thank you for your email. Yes l live in Telford Shropshire a place called Muxton. I do know Jackfield but not very well. I found the knit a square on the net so thought I would have a go. Got the pattern of the site unfortunately my squares are a fraction bigger than 8x8 must be the way I knit l have done about 10 so far. Do you think they will be acceptable? Thanks Ros
