  Hello Hazel

  Lovely to have you with us. Did you ever receive an answer to your query about postal costs? If not, the answer would be that the cheapest way from the UK is make your packages as close as possible to 2kg. and send by International Economy rate. The PO always make their price changes at the end of March and a member said yesterday that she believes that some prices are coming down this year so it might be worth checking online before posting. Elaine posted some interesting comparisons last April under the postage discussion and I expect she will update them soon. http://forum.knit-a-square.com/forum/topics/international-postage-r...

  I couldn't mentally place Winchcombe so I Googled it - what a beautiful town. A few years ago we had a holiday in the Cotswolds but whether or not I went there I can't remember. A|l I can clearly recall is the Broadway Tower.

  Do join the UK group if you haven't already. Been a bit quiet recently but it's the best place to get information regarding postage/yarn bargains etc.

  Hi Hazel.

  A warm welcome to KAS....from over here in Western Australia.  :)) 

  Making the basic square is a wonderful way to relax and help the children.  Plain Janes, as they are affectionately called, are the backbone of KAS.  Since a blanket is created with 35 squares sent by people from around the world, squares are needed all the time. The basic square being a garter stitch/single colour or striped square or I think it is single or double crochet  if your preference is for crochet. By clicking on the KASpattern book tab at the top of the page you can also find lots of other patterns provided by our fellow KASers.  

  Please check out the 'Helpful Hints' tab at the top of the page as this may answer many initial questions you may have and will help you get started. Any other questions...just ask...we love to help.  :))

  If you'd like to see what other KASers have been making please click on the photo tab at the top of the page....and feel free to add photos of your own work...we would love to see them. Just click on 'add photos' and follow the prompts. Anything you care to make and send will be so appreciated by Ronda and the team and the children of South Africa.

  If you want to see the most active discussions at present, you may like to click on the 'main page' tab and they are listed in the centre of that page...just pick one and click on it. It is a large website, but with so much fun and info.
