Knit-a-Square is an organisation that was created to provide hand-knitted blankets to vulnerable and orphaned children in South Africa. I became involved as a volunteer in 2017 and have enjoyed reporting on events at "the barn" [the headquarters of KAS in Johannesburg] every fortnight since then in my blog entitled "That Warm Fuzzy Feeling.
At the end of 2019 I was ready to start a podcast and it made sense to feature the work of Knit-a-Square. Passion for the project spurred me on to learn all about podcasting, editing and recording content. The result is what I believe to be a really lovely podcast for knitters and crocheters around the world. Not only does it allow the volunteers on the ground to share what they are doing in a more immediate way, but it gives our faithful members an opportunity to learn more about what happens with all the squares, beanies, hand-warmers and soft toys they send. Listen to the latest episode below and visit the knit-a-Square website at www.knit-a-square.com to find out more about how to get involved, wherever you are in the world.
This is the story of how, in my fifties, I got back in the saddle to explore the world on horseback in spite of being severely visually impaired. I believe in dreams and in the soul's calling. When opportunity and intention come together, anything is possible. But it all began with claiming the right to do what was buried deep in my heart.
