Many thanks to all of you that support KAS. We acknowledge that shipping costs and material costs have increased greatly in the last couple of years and this has an impact on what is received in South Africa. KAS is making a big difference due to all our amazing contributors, one square at a time.
Thank You!

FINANCIALS - PAYPAL UPDATE
Please note that Ronda is having trouble verifying her existence to PayPal so they have suspended their services. This affects donations, as well as the Knit-a-square online shop.
We hope to get it back up and running soon. Please hold any payments through PayPal at this time. We will let everyone know when this situation has been addressed.
Estelle shared this and other photos from their recent gathering. Sheldon popped in, as he is back from Australia for a bit. Lots of blankets were forwarded to The Barn.
