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.

Dear KAS friends, I know some of you have been trying to send donations to Knit-a-Square and have been frustrated to find that PayPal will not let them through. I am so sorry. We have been caught up in a rather bewildering PayPal verification process, and despite supplying the information they have asked for, our donation facility is still temporarily unavailable. We are continuing to work with them to sort it out. Please don't worry about us, and most especially, please don't think for a moment that your kindness isn't wanted or appreciated. After all these years, I am still constantly moved by the generosity of this wonderful community of knitters and crocheters who care so deeply about children on the other side of the world. We'll let you know as soon as the PayPal problem is resolved. With much love and enormous thanks for your patience, Ronda Knit-a-Square ❤️

"I mailed a parcel from Port Charlotte, Florida USA in February 2026 and have never seen it listed as received. Is there any way to check on it? So disappointed! Thank you . Patricia Linscott"

"Fantastic work, Bev.   The boys will be thrilled by the heavy equipment, and their imaginations will get a good workout.   I love the variegated yarns you added to your black handwarmers.   They look very warm, indeed."

"Vous terminez le mois en beauté Bev : les carrés amuseront certainement des garçonnets et vos mitaines sont magnifiques. Que ce soit à tricoter ou à photographier le noir ironiquement nous "en fait voir de toutes les couleurs"!!! (je ne sais pas s'il y a une expression équivalente en anglais) mais le résultat est le même !"

"I find black is very difficult to photograph, Bev - it's probably draining the colour from the appliques. Love the handwarmers."

"Three construction/destruction vehicles. The colours are bright and very clear. Unfortunately, it seems the phone camera has taken a dislike to them.  :(( 
Four pair of black handwarmers with some variegated 'leftovers' that I have had for a few years.

CREATECARE GLOBAL

"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."
