www.knit-a-square.com labels
Recently we developed labels (address size) with a quote plus the KAS website - we stick labels randomly on the herbs & spices and other dried foods that we pack for our natural food business. We personally retail our foods at St. Albans Market (Wed) and Enfield in North London (Thurs), plus we supply Patrick on St. Albans (Sat) and Rob at Warwick and Oxford Markets and try to stick on around 200 labels per day in the hope we might get at least one hit. The message will be changed monthly.
This Wednesday we had two enquiries - and both ladies knew an elderly person who loved to knit, but had no one to knit for ! Knitting is great for older people as it helps the brain and keeps coordination alive (I should know!). We gave them copies of KAS-on-a-page to spur them on.
Anyhow, it has eventually filtered through to my brain to stick on the labels on the corner of all mail so that KAS goes through the hands of the posties, lands on reception desks or even fair flung relatives & friends etc., I'm sure an eagle eyed knitter/crocheter would easily spot the wording knitting! If KASers Google address labels quite a few companies provide quantities at a reasonable price - provided you don't go for the gold embrossed type! This could be a simple and reasonable way of spreading the word.
KAS is our charity for the foreseeable future. My brother Nick (my business partner) is a keen supporter and enthusiastically explains the aims to enquring customers. He particularly likes the fact that all of us are taking direct action, and, truly making a difference.
Any UK KASers please say hello if you are in our vicinity. Pam

Hi Beth,
Labels posted today so should be with you Wednesday.
Oh, me the crochet expert! The number of rounds varies according to the yarn you are using but if you keep going until it's just under 8" you can then add a row of doubles or trebles to bring it up to size.

Liz, a simple 'Knit or crochet an 8" square and keep a cold child warm! www.knit-a-square.com' is probably best. Go to Rachel A's reply on page 3 dated July 26th and you'll see at the bottom of her comments - kas stamp.jpg - if you double click on this it will open up and give you an idea. You can either have a stamp made or printed labels. Whatever phrase you decide to use keep it as clear & concise as possible. The word 'Knit' is the one most likely to attract the attention when the envelope passes through someones hands. Let us know how you get one.
