After recording in the 2015 Tally, CLICK HERE to add your squares to the
KNIT-A-SQUARE DELIVERS ! tally.
A TIP:
It is a good idea to check the Squares Lists every month to see when your parcels arrive. The South African team doesn't always have time to send a reply ...although they do try !
A grateful child thanks You !

Thank you for adding your items to the 2015 tally.
Now that Knit-a-Square has re-evaluated its approach to items received, a tally isn't as necessary. We are no longer recording our sent items here and will rely on The Squares List to notify us when our parcels arrive.
We will still be busy adding photos of our wonderful items to the Photo Gallery as well as participating in the monthly themes. We’ll also visit Sorted in South Africa and the Blanket Room to see what is going on and admire the beautiful blankets made with our squares. Then there are the Distribution photos with the darling children wrapped in warm blankets, wearing cozy hats and hand-warmers clutching their very own soft toy. It is always a great read when KasSnippets is published. Even though I read the forum every day, KasSnippets provides me with an overview of the month...and a good refresher !
Just a reminder that the focus is on squares, hats, hand-warmers and cuddly toys. [ other items will be distributed by a trustworthy third party.]
Please add your squares to the Knit-a-Square Delivers ! discussion until we arrive at the Office. Thanks :-)
The tally is now closed.
