Apologies all. I sent off 150 squares last week, added them to the Great Heights total but, in a moment of knitters woollybrain, forgot to add them to this Tally.
So that's 150 squares to add plus 30 more posted today that the granddaughter had hidden during a recent Easter visit!!! The squares are just the right squares to act as Blankies for the many stuffed animals that 'visit' with her :)
So that now makes the Tally:
13425 squares
106 tops
392 beanies/hats
23 KAS cuddles
318 soft toys
419 scarves/neckwarmers/handwarmers
343 socks/underwear
47 supplies for gogos
1386 bits and bobs

How delightful that your granddaughter has discovered how wonderful squares can be :-)
As Katrina has already done, please remember to add your squares to the KAS Reaches Great Heights for the Children challenge. We want to reach Table Mountain by Mandela Day ! -
