Welcome to the new KasBlog, Square Up

square up
phrasal verb
: to get ready for a fight
: to start to deal with something in a brave and determined way

For millennia, the humble square has been one of the most common geometric shapes, used to represent order and rationality. It can seem boring and predictable with its right-angled corners and equal sides, making it familiar and stable. But squares can give us so much more.

Squares provide a strong foundation which form building blocks for a community. They give us balance and equality which guide us to fairness and honesty. Squares enclose us in a safe place, giving us security. Above all, squares help us build a blanket for a child who would otherwise have none.

Square up with Knit-a-square so we can fight for the cold and forgotten, and provide warmth, comfort and, most of all, the knowledge that a child is beloved.
