"My little village has made the BBC News! These temperatures may not seem too high for those of you in hotter countries but the UK just isn't geared up for it."
"This has been my fear for some time, Sharon. The Squares List always shows more parcels from the UK than anywhere else these days which must be down to lower postage costs. I'm afraid that's about to change."
"I've got the Colour of the Month for July as red. Has it changed?"
"Fabulous, Karen. And thank you, Chris!"
"I chose to pay the tiny bit extra for airmail and was charged £33.65 and £35.85. I think Bev is probably right but this is what I've been dreading."

"A weird thing happened this morning. I went to my usual Post Office to post two parcels and was told that the Economy Rate (Surface Mail) had gone up enormously but I could send them Air Mail for only about £1 more (which I did). It's been several…"

Hi Patricia, yes you're right I haven't been active on here for almost two years, but thankfully my meeting up with Karen will change that! Thanks for accepting! Linda
Hi Patricia, thank you for the kind comment on Rachael's blanket, I'm hoping to see it wrapped around a child one day, Diane
Thank you, Patricia. I’m pleased to be your friend.
Thank you so much Patricia. I haven't been "visible" on the forum, but behind the scenes I was doing my "job"for KAS and we had a busy time here. I saw all the beautiful items that were made but wasn't able to comment, and naturally I missed the forum too. xo
Hello Patricia,
Your blankets are gorgeous
Hello Patricia,

We are glad you have joined us.
Cheers.
Hi Patricia.
A warm welcome to Knit A Square, from over here in Western Australia. :))
Knitting or crocheting an 8" square or two or possibly even a few is a wonderful gift for the children. They love to receive their blankets, created from squares, which come from kindly, caring folk such as yourself, from over 60 countries all over our world. You are encouraged to knit/crochet in any stitch you prefer, but we do ask that they not be too 'lacy' as warmth is our highest priority. PJs (Plain Janes as they are affectionately known) are the backbone to all our blankets. These are single colour squares that are in garter stitch(knitting) or single crochet as they are very solid and provide a contrast to a picture/striped/patterned square or two that may be added to a blanket.By clicking on the KASpattern book tab at the top of the page you can also find lots of patterns provided by our fellow K-A-Sers. If you would kindly check out our wishlist, you can see what items we are currently focusing on.
