"April came and went in double-quick time (for me). I had the number sqs knitted before end of April, but have only just finished the appliques. Most of the 'left over yarn' stripes were completed in April, too."
"SUPER squares, Pat!!
Impossible to pick a fave. :))
I love the textures in the left, but then the variegated combines perfectly with the solid colour, on the right. Winner-winner!! "
"I'm really looking forward to spying these numbered bear squares within blankets Bev. I'm willing you through any more numbers you have up your sleeve. Certainly a rewarding personal undertaking that needs seeing through. Good luck babe xx"
"I think we still have surface mail, but Sandra Jones had posted four parcels (post covid and all its mailing difficulties) a couple of years back,and they all came back to her and she resent them air mail. Now, I send mine 'standard airmail', which…"
"I always love seeing the African flower squares....these are SO pretty, Patricia!!.....especially the one on the left, where you have highlighted the edge of the petals with the darker blue....STUNNING!!"
Hi Bev - thanks for your lovely welcome! I am a new knitter and have started my first square many times - more holes than wool :( practice makes perfect and I will get there in the end :) :) looking forward to sending my squares on!
Thanks Bev! And Estelle and Andreja and all who welcome me to the forum. I'm blushing because I know I'll only actually come on here when I get an email saying someone has specifically addressed a comment at me ... because otherwise I don't get to get on here and with my work I just don't have the time/space ... looking forward to one day retirement in some distant future and the pleasure of wandering around the forum and getting t know y'all. Till then I have to rely on the wonderful ladies who share my odd facebook posts on the forum. Thank you SO MUCH!!
Hi Bev, thank you for the warm welcome and helpful information to navigate through the forum. I'm still figuring out how this platform works, but already excited and imagining my squares travelling the long way!
Thank you so much for the kind welcome.... I am so looking forward to becoming part of this wonderful group.... I have been knitting for many years, mostly for hospitals and orphanages and heard about your organization from a friend... I have now decided to help add to your stash... The blankets are so beautiful and cheerful.... I will try to mix colors and patterns.

I am working an little with my collegues from the school (we are teaching in a secondary school) and we are connected with KAS Croatia.
When all this situation with cOVID ends we will have few blankets and a lot of toys to send you.
Stay safe!
