HI Everyone

In celebration of Knit-A-Holics being bigger then i ever anticipated, i have decided to have a special GIVE AWAY for when I reach 600 likers.

There will be some yummy yarn up for grabs. Im thinking of making up 2 wonderful prize packs, as to what they contain, i am not sure as yet 🙂 but will be new items that i happen to find on my SpotLight travels

Once i have figured it all out, i will post a blog here and link it to my page

all you will have to do is “like” my page and comment in my blog, i will ask a question in relation to knitting/crocheting, i will then head to randon.org to get the winner 🙂

i will keep you posted, but for now, SPREAD the love on facebook, the sooner we hit 600 likers, the sooner i get to give away some lovely prizes 🙂

The Travelling Yarn

HI everyone

i have decided to start a charity fund raiser. I want to collect squares fom all over the world, make blankets and donate them to a wonderful charity called Save The Children.

Save the Children (thru Unicef) are an organisation who collect  knitted/crochet squares , made with 8ply wool.

the specifications are listed below

Knitted Blanket Guidelines:

• Please use 4mm needles
• Please use 8ply 100% pure wool
• A perfect-sized blanket is made up of 16 knitted squares
• Each square should be about 20cms x 20cms (44 stitches wide, 88 rows high)

if you would like to know more about Save The Children please visit

or find them here on facebook

when you are making your square, i would love you to email me a picture of you and the sqaure, where you are from and why you want to help. i will be starting a photo album called “the Travelling Yarn”. please send emails to knitaholics@yahoo.com.au

when you have completed your square and emailed me, i will give you the address to post it to here in Melbourne, Australia.

Im so excited about this project, and would LOVE to have this as a world wide contribution to helping keep the Homeless warm

if you would like any more details/info please email me at knitaholics@yahoo.com.au

thankyou all so much, and i cant wait to get the ball rolling…so to speak

Also, there is no time limit as such, each blanket needs 16 squares, so i will sew them together as they arrive, and will be sure to post pics of when i donate them 🙂
