POSTING A PARCEL?

Did you know that every parcel
Knit-a-square receives incurs a mandatory handling fee of $3.75 US, charged by the
South African Customs & Excise?
When mailing a package,
it is critical to write 
BONA FIDE GIFT FOR CHARITY, NO COMMERCIAL VALUE on your parcel and a declared value of $0 on your Customs Slip so KAS doesn't incur additional postage fees.
Are you sending from the U.S.? Please DO NOT insure your package.

Anneke replied to Bev Jeffery's discussion What's on Your Hooks and Needles in August 2026?
"I made it Bev! I had finished this blanket a while ago, not realizing it would fit perfectly into the COM Pink. So, especially for you: a blanket in cerise and white, combined with variegated yarn. And as always, the colors in the photo don't quite match reality. It is much more vivid. (see the detailed photo). But the most important thing is a warm blanket, consisting half of merino yarn, for a child in need. That’s what it’s all about. Up to the next COM. 

 
Thank you so much for hosting this COM! xo"

"Ooh, a beautiful color combination in this yarn! You’re a true yarn artist! And it’s my favorite C2C pattern, too! Bring on winter—that’s how I feel when I see this blanket.

"Quel souvenir magnifique et si particulier, Mireille !
Et les madeleines se marient à merveille avec n'importe quel thé : un délice !
Moi aussi, je voulais vraiment tricoter; cette laine douce était ravissante, et ma mère réalisait des ouvrages d'une grande beauté et d'une grande finesse — je voulais en faire autant !
J'avais quatre ou cinq ans ; ma mère commençait un ouvrage pour moi et je continuais... en laissant glisser les mailles... Je ne savais pas quoi faire du fil !
Mais à six ans, nous avons eu des cours de travaux d'aiguille à l'école ; j'avais tellement hâte que le cours commence !

"CreateCare Global has set itself two tasks. The first is physical: to bring hope, support and comfort to children for whom poverty and loss are everyday tormentors. The second, and in our view equally important, is to spread the message to the world."
