Kate Lock left a comment for Bethany Lowe"Welcome Bethany! I posted a package of a similar weight the other day and it cost me five pounds something (surface mail). I agree about 1kg being about as much as you want taking up house space - I live in a very small house (well,…"
Bethany Lowe replied to Diane McTigue's discussion 2011 Tally in the group UK"Hi - I sent a package of stuff this week:
- 3 hats (different sizes)
- about 8 squares? (forgot to count)
- about 4 pieces of bigger crochet for blankets
Hope we are meeting the requirements! They won't arrive for a few weeks of course but I am…"
Bethany Lowe left a comment for Barbara Hawkins"Hi Barbara,
Thanks for your welcoming comments! I live in Fenham and moved here in 2002 but I am still not totally naturalised as I do feel the cold and need to put a coat on when I go out :-) It's been lovely the last week or so and I have…"
Barbara Hawkins left a comment for Bethany Lowe"Hi Bethany and welcome to KAS. I was brought up in Wallsend and moved to Leicester in 1975. I still miss the seaside, Northumberland Street shops especially Fenwicks and their beautiful Christmas displays. Sorry I can just go on and on.
I joined KAS…"
Bethany Lowe commented on Diane McTigue's group UK"Brilliant Christine cheers. I have a big padded envelope which is just the ticket, and about 800/900g of knitted stuff to put in it. I have labelled it as you say and will pop down the PO tomorrow morning :-) I guess 1kg is about as much knitting as…"
Bethany Lowe commented on Diane McTigue's group UK"Nice one Enid: http://sg.royalmail.com/portal/rm/PriceFinder?catId=23500532&gear=pricingcalc (in case anyone else wants it) - I had some general info but this is more comprehensive. Ta!"
Bethany Lowe commented on Diane McTigue's group UK"Phew Elaine, that's good to hear as I've just finished three hats and one was definitely big enough for me to put on! Glad to hear some teenager or adult will make use of it :-)"
Bethany Lowe commented on Diane McTigue's group UK"Hi! I've just joined the group and am about to send off my first bundle of squares and hats. It could be quite big as I am sending some large pieces that have been sitting around for years! Any UK tips on posting? I am planning on sending them…"

- one 10x10

Bethany Lowe replied to Pam Johnson's discussion What can we do with this?"Hi all! I have a similar dilemma (but not so artistically complex :-) ) - I have been given, and have rediscovered in the loft, various pieces of 'granny square' crochet work, most of which is bigger than 8 inches. Is it alright to send it…"

Welcome Bethany! I posted a package of a similar weight the other day and it cost me five pounds something (surface mail). I agree about 1kg being about as much as you want taking up house space - I live in a very small house (well, it's small, but I've got lots of wool!)
Good luck with the crocheting - I knit squares on the bias to help with my dodgy tension!

- Hi Bethany and welcome to KAS. I was brought up in Wallsend and moved to Leicester in 1975. I still miss the seaside, Northumberland Street shops especially Fenwicks and their beautiful Christmas displays. Sorry I can just go on and on.
I joined KAS last November and knit mainly jumpers with matching hats. I'm a bit rubbish at squares. Since joining KAS I've taken crochet lessons which I thoroughly enjoy.
Are you a Geordie too or have you moved to the area?
Best of luck with your squares and hope to speak again soon.
Happy knitting, Barbara

Hi Bethany, welcome to the forum. I hope you will enjoy being a part of this friendly community. My son lives in Gateshead and I just returned home yesterday after a few days in the area.
With regard to the squares, yes, absolutely, everything is very welcome. If you are able to make them into sizes that fit in with other squares well and good but if not, send them anyway. Nothing is wasted.
We'd love to have you join the UK group if you wish when you've had a look around this very big site.
Happy crocheting (I just wish I could get better at it.)
