"Oh YUM!! Over here,as far as I have ever seen, Cadbury Hazelnut swirls only come in a 'mixed box' selection, where you might get 2-3 in a whole box. However we do get 'family blocks' of Hazelnut chocolate. I just happen to have one......"
"Fantastic to hear our goodies are getting to those who need them most. So so so many joyous and cheerful colours. Delighted to see so many of my hats on these darling children, thank you.
I feel we need to run an advice piece about handwarmer sizing again, the ones pictured are wrongly proportioned unfortunately which saddens me. "

"From Ronda, August 7, 2025...
Knit-a-Square keeping us all busy still … more than 17 years now since my trip to Australia in June 2008, where I told Sandy about “cold children” begging on road sides in freezing weather preventing me from being able to sleep at night !!
It’s been a very cold - and LONG - winter this year, with even some sleety blobs of ice on our windscreens at times ! Night time temps can sink well below freezing and more children than ever are living in wobbly little shacks with caked mud floors… it does one’s HEAD in !
So Knit-a-Square SA is deeply grateful to everyone who helps this project in any way, shape or form!
Blankets in from 2 Gogo groups …
Viv and Wandi helping to sort before we take pics, sew a label on each blanket … and pack for distribution.
Hmmm … lots of “work in progress” !!
Nathi and Viv “baking” the blanket cake …
Viv and Ronda sewing labels onto blankets!
Ooops - back to the engine room!
Happy pic … Wandi and Nathi off to Soweto with…"

CREATECARE GLOBAL
"CreateCare Global has set itself two tasks. The first is physical: to bring hope, support and comfort to children for whom poverty and loss are everyday tormentors. The second, and in our view equally important, is to spread the message to the world."
Our thanks to CreateCare Global for supporting the Square Circle Forum and helping to spread the wonderful work that KAS does.
