This is my collection of Robin's Egg Blue and Variegated squares. The ninth on at the back has a much wider border of solid color because the variegated ran out earlier than I expected.
I sent off a parcel this morning and found that the postage had gone up nearly a quarter again above the amount I usually pay. I know we're lucky to still have surface mail but this increase did seem rather steep. We've already lost contributors from countries where surface mail is no longer available so I hope this increase doesn't discourage UK members.

Like you, Patricia, I was shocked when posting a parcel last week to learn of the 25% increase. I did briefly question whether I could continue to do this, but decided I should probably economise on chocolate instead !
Don't do it, Lesley - chocolate is surely one of life's main pleasures at our age! Have you tried Toblerone Truffles? I was given a box for Mothering Sunday and they are divine.

Thanks for that, Amy, you have a great family. I love a man in a suit!
The guys are a great looking group! Just like the blue squares.

Fabulous, fabulous
GORGEOUS squares, Sharon!! LOVE that blue combination. :))
Such pretty squares, Sharon.
Love that Blue, your variegated yarn is divine. Can't wait to see these in a blanket.
