Hi everyone. I am new here. I just realized that I messed up on my first 9 squares. I forgot about the 1 meter tail I am supposed to leave. What do I do now? The 10th square is OK, I caught it,…Continue

Leyli commented on Michelle Breeding's group United States"Helen does that mean if people keep sending more money we will start creche number 2, or are we just stopping at one. Just wondering so I can see how to save moving forward, in my budget that is.

Leyli replied to Julie Kempton's discussion I'm taking a survey in the group United States"About how many squares and other items did you send to Knit-a-Square in 2010? to South Africa directly 20
About how much does it cost you per square to ship to South Africa? (for instance, it costs me about $1 per square when I send at least 10 at…"
Leyli commented on Michelle Breeding's group United States"Hi Diane, where did you see that request. I seem to have completely missed it. What size bag do you use. As you can tell I have not made it that far yet. I have made squares but not mailed any yet."
Leyli commented on Michelle Breeding's group United States"Maybe we need a formal letter, approved by Sandy that we can send to places and people as we think of them. I would be happy to send them out."
Leyli commented on Michelle Breeding's group United States"Going on her same way of thinking, maybe some South African companies might be willing to donate money. Need to research them on the computer. I guess I am thinking aloud, hoping someone else will think with me. Be need a brainstorming session"
Leyli commented on Michelle Breeding's group United States"I was out with a friend tonight and of course I mentioned KAS. I was asking her for ideas for shipping and donations in general. She suggested contacting South African Airlines, British Airways, or Virgin Airlines. She thought if they would agree to…"
Leyli commented on Michelle Breeding's group United States"Diane, thank you for sharing. That is great news. I have to close to 1oo squares to send, and her taking them solves a lot of my problems. Thank you again for the post. You have made my day"
Sharman Carroll left a comment for Leyli"Not a problem. Hopefully, I was able to help a bit. Maybe you could send some squares to PP and that will help save on shipping. I am in the same boat you are, my wallet can't keep up either."
Leyli left a comment for Sharman Carroll"Thank you so much for the info. You are correct and I will have to find a long term solution. My problem is I have been knitting too fast, maybe because most of my squares are variegated yarn in garter stitch. My wallet for shipping can't keep…"
Sharman Carroll left a comment for Leyli"Hi Leyli,
I mailed my squares to Planet Purl this morning. I mailed 52 of them. I mailed them in 2 plastic bubble wrap envelopes and it costs me $11.90. I live in Georgia and Planet Purl is in Florida. So, it may be worth you mailing them there…"
Leyli commented on Michelle Breeding's group United States"I think most of us have the same problem. Cost of shipping. It seems that we are all fine with making the squares, and I bet most of us enjoy it. Once we have the squares, then headache, or in my case frustration. I know the kids need the squares…"
Leyli commented on Michelle Breeding's group United States"Hi Anne,
I think cost of postage is a problem for a lot of us. I have no problem making the squares. Anyone and everyone who knows me, knows that I am an addicted knitter and have been for many years. Because of age, or menopause, or whatever you…"
Leyli commented on Michelle Breeding's group United States"Sharman, Thank you so much for the info. The 80 plus square I have is what I knit since Feb 4th. I got so discouraged with the shipping problem that in the meantime I have also knit 86 squares for Warm up America. However, that problem is easier to…"
Leyli commented on Michelle Breeding's group United States"Hi everybody. My production is full force. I have over 80 squares that needs mailing. But before I can afford to mail I need everyone's help. I need to raise money for postage because I have none to spare right now. Any fund raising ideas? Any…"
Leyli commented on Michelle Breeding's group United States"Hi Maureen, Welcome. I have been around for two weeks. What I can tell you is everyone is nice and welcoming. You keep getting inspired by everyone's comments and pictures. In a way we all keep each other going a little bit every day. Welcome…"

- Hi Leyli,
I mailed my squares to Planet Purl this morning. I mailed 52 of them. I mailed them in 2 plastic bubble wrap envelopes and it costs me $11.90. I live in Georgia and Planet Purl is in Florida. So, it may be worth you mailing them there also. I don't know what the answer is as far as shipping. It sounds like PP maybe does not do charity work all the time for KAS, so this may be a short term solution.

Welcome to our warm KAS community. It's great to see you. We hope you will enjoy the forum and your region's group. You should join the USA group!
There are lots of great discussions going on in the forum, including the monthly challenges.
We have a challenge every month, if you want to get involved please do. It's not compulsory at all but some of the work done is just lovely. Have a look at the November challenge - the SLIP-OVER (under challenges in the main forum) this will give you an idea of some of the fantastic work this community is doing for the children of South Africa. Here is a link to the November challenge photos:
