Hello friends! Many of you know that the crochet/knit group that I belong to at my church we crochet and knit all year long for our annual Fall and Christmas Fair we have each year. I have belonged to this group for about 12 years and the sister that runs the group has organized us to knit and crochet squares for a charity called KasCare's Knitting For Charity Project, knit-a-square.
We are all busy knitting and crocheting these squares that will eventually be made into blankets to help keep a cold AIDS orphan warm. The squares will then be collected and packed in a box and then sent to Africa. Once the squares are sent off then they will make the squares into blankets.
The photos of these squares are some of them I have already made. I have crocheted about 5 so far and I'm still making more of them.
For the size of the squares I crocheted I made them 8 inches x 8 inches using the half double crochet stitch.
I'm happy to be crocheting these squares and I feel good to be involved doing this charity work.
Julie
That looks wonderful and it is so great to know that with this, you are helping others. Great job !!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely thing to do, Julie! I need to get back into crocheting and knitting, but now that the garden is calling, the knitting is waiting. It's great that you have a needlework club with the goal of helping others.
ReplyDeleteI congratulate you on the good work you are doing and for the wonderful project you participate in! It would be lovely to see them made into blankets when they arrive in Africa.

Beautiful squares!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.:*
What a lovely thing to do, Julie. I'm sure you can whip up those squares in no time. I belong to a group that knits or crochets and we donate afghans to a shelter in our area.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great charity you have chosen to be a part of. I am new to crochet and am taking part in the #WorldsBiggestStocking project! I have finished one blanket and starting my second. I love it, when I find others making a difference with their time!
