At first glance they seemed just like any other carefree group of school children, but there was something mean about these streets, a place you would not wish to loiter or break down in your car. …

member, Anne Hart from the UK. Well done Anne and well done KAS!
We have 1003 members today to be exact, but only a percentage of our
members are active in the forum discussions. People are busy and have
so much to fit into a day, so we are massively grateful that you find
the time to knit/crochet, and 'post' of the two varieties - parcels and

There has been a discussion about postage issues in Canadian Corner, which brought to mind reflections which I thought to share with you all.
Hope you are following our South African journey with us www.allfororphans.com although I am already days behind! We have been pretty hectic meeting and greeting and parcel
opening.
Firstly I just want to tell you that the warmth and love and gratitude

- I'm about to send off 60 squares but feel concerned (once again) that they may not arrive; although I've been through all the lists from July 2010 - March 2011 many times, I can't find any indication of my contribution posted from Oz in June last year.

While working on squares this AM, I happened to catch a PBS Special called "A Walk to Beautiul". I believe it was filmed somewhere in Etheopia at the "Addis Ababa" Fistula Hospital. Besides being a wonderful story, I noticed at least 4 women in knitted or crocheted blankets made from various colored squares. Is someone else doing the same project? Is this possible? If anyone else has happened to see the special, would appreciate a response - thanks, Laurie

Barbara Hawkins said… Hi Sandy,
Linda Maltby's discussion on Granny Squares are back gave me much food for thought.
On her link was a photo of Cate Blanchett wearing a granny square dress which was made and designed by an Australian company. I suggested in my reply to Linda that Cate may like to donate her dress to KAS when she was finished with it, but as she was wearing it at a red carpet do it maybe on loan.
Well my thoughts were could we contact Cate Blanchett and or the manufacturer of the dress even if we don't get the dress to auction for KAS funds it could be a way of raising our profile.
This is just an idea off the top of my head and unfortunately I have not thought it through in detail. I would love to know your thoughts and if you think I'm just mad as a hatter please feel free to say so.
Many thanks for all you do for KAS, love, Barbara

Julia Dee said… - Sandy thank you for adding the "Square Shop" to the site. I have just ordered a hat, a tote bag and T-shirts to wear in South Africa next month. I hope that I can be a "walking advert" for your site. I am sure that when I am out and about.....I do like to spend time having a coffee and speaking to locals..... they will prove a talking point and get more people involved.
