"I have the Rupert pattern and will be happy to send a copy if you would like to message me with your postal address. Rob :-)"
"Hi Maggie, for some reason your page is not allowing me to send you a private message. I hope I haven't given offense? All the best, Rob :-)"
"Hi Phillipa, well for people who want to meet others locally, why not trawl through the members list on the right (click "view all" to see where people live) and then invite them to be friends? I should do that myself, lol, but I'll…"
"Hi Elaine, yes I contacted Varsha and she has found a group she can join, not KAS but she hopes to convert them! However, I'm not often in London, well not with time to spare anyway.
Rob :-)"
"Thanks for your good wishes and well done for the efforts of you and your ladies! What an amazing output!
My group don't do nearly as many things for KAS because I make them pay the postage and they are all retired, but they do make lots of…"

"I was searching the members list here for somebody and noticed that there are a few other people here who live in Brighton, like me. I already run a charity knitting group for retired people, and we send our KAS squares collectively, but it would be…"
"Just remembered I hadn't added these, which were sent in March. I had to have a second emergency operation when there were complications after the first one, so everything got a bit chaotic after that! So I'm adding 27 squares, 4 vests and…"

"Glad you liked the KasCuddles! Do remember to make them bigger now, as requested. Pam Antink has the dimensions. She asked me to rewrite the pattern but if won't be for a while as I'm only just out of hospital from serious surgery and just…"

Wendy said… Thanks Robert!
