That's really kind of you, Christine. Thanks. They may have added their squares to the online total (or they may not want to) but I haven't seen the school mentioned, and Cundall Manor (where my brother taught) got quite a few mentions when they contributed last year, which was fun for the kids. Just collected a load more squares from a lady in town and am making up the final box for Jigsaw. Thanks again. Belinda.
Hi Christine, glad you liked the photo of the teddies. It was fun to make the clothes. Do you knit or crochet ? I see you are a new member, welcome. The U.K. group has quite a few members. I'm in northern Ontario but do have connections to England. My husband was born near Middlesbrough so we do know where Scarborough is !
Hi Christine. Just noticed your connection with St Peter's School. A lady called Kathleen Batters rang me today, as she had taken squares knitted by the children, to the PO to send them to SA, and been quoted £74 postage!! She then remembered my letter in the paper about Jigsaw's offer, and I gave her their address in London. Think she will find that's cheaper! I asked how many squares the children had knitted and she said she thought about 200, but wasn't sure. Just wondered if you had any way of finding out, as they should be on the tally, if they're not already. Another lady just rang to say she's bringing a load more here tomorrow. Well done, Scarborough! With regards, Belinda.
Hi Christine, have seen your comments about meeting other KASers. You may like to check out the discussion 'yours live' 2012. It may be a good 2 hour drive but certainly worth it! Hope you are enjoying being part of this wonderful community :)
Would love to, Christine. Wonder if we could form a Scarborough KAS group. Only know of one lady called Karen who lives in Nafferton but comes to Scarborough regularly. See you've found more contacts locally though. Couldn't find this page earlier -sorry. Not very computer-literate! All the best. Belinda.
Hi Christine- nice to "meet" you. No, I don't have any contact with other KASers in the area, except for just at the moment, as people are bringing me squares they knitted after a couple of letters I had in the paper. Any I get I'm sending to Jigsaw in London as long as I get them before Dec 15th! It would certainly be nice to meet others though. Are you in Scarborough/
