Sun Square Sightings in South Africa




How exciting!

I just received the Knit-A-Square August newsletter, and I spotted my sun squares that I sent off in June 2009.

They have already been made into blankets for the children!


It is so wonderful to see them again mixed and matched with so many other squares from all over the world.

It is amazing how many pictures the Knit-A-Square group is able to share with all of us. Not only do they receive, organize and sew together thousands of squares each month, but they also write an extensive newsletter, update the website, interact on the forum and create fun challenges for us to contribute to each month.

The love, dedication and passion they put into this project is truly inspiring!
My first "Go-Over" sweater for the September challenge is coming along nicely. I will have something to show you very soon!

Melissa,
You do such great things with your talents - you are very inspiring!! I am determined to participate in something like this this year.
Also, your previous post on senior dogs was really touching, and brought tears to my eyes. Emmitt is one special guy, and we are so glad that we are friends!
Love Jess & Clove xo
