The reason we send our parcels:
Reminders when packing:
1. Squares
-pack flat -tail neatly butterflied -bundled in 5/10
2. Inside the parcel: 3. Check Postage before mailing.
Include the REVISED packing slip. Please read ALL instructions.
This is a fun way to record what we send.
Please choose from the following list when recording what you send:
- SQUARES
- TOPS (includes vests, sweaters, Go-Overs)
- BEANIES/HATS
- KASCUDDLES
- SOFT TOYS (teddies, dolls, cuddly toys)
- SCARVES/NECK WARMERS/HAND-WARMERS
- SOCKS/UNDERWEAR (includes t-shirts, undershirts/singlets, underpants and slippers)
- SUPPLIES FOR GOGOs (knitting needles, crochet hooks, sewing needles, yarn)
- BITS AND BOBS (pens, pencils, books, anything that doesn't fit in elsewhere)
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 !

So I have managed to pack up and will be sending in the morning when the Post Office opens 5 parcels:
50 squares and 4 hats
60 squares and 6 hats
60 squares and 8 hats
70 squares
50 squares and 10 hats.
Grand total is 290 squares and 28 hats. I know that is more than a hat for every 35 squares but up to now we have only sent squares and one solitary hat.
I did forget the paper for inside one parcel (70 squares) but I wrote on the packaging that there were 70 squares and they were from the More Coffee Knitters.

Thankyou - I have a load more that I just need to get the ends sewn in and butterfly the tails. I am meeting a friend at the cafe (and maybe some others, who knows) on Thursday afternoon to start on them. It is great to not worry for now about how we will pay for them to be posted!!!

Wow ! The tally is really growing. The volunteers in South Africa will have fun sorting through all these wonderful items !! Mary D, please thank your friend for making squares while she recuperates....3 months in hospital would drive me 'up the wall' if I couldn't crochet :-)
