The May issue of KAS Snippets is on the Forum and the headline is that we can now send parcels to South Africa.

Our team is back out making distributions and The Barn is full of activity once again after a good cleaning and post coming through.

Check out all the latest news.

Send, Send... SEND

We can now post our items to South Africa.

The team has its fingers crossed after a good mail delivery that all the packaged that are backlogged in the Postal System will be flying into the Barn.

What a month it has been for KAS.

 

This issue of the KAS Snippets is filled with news about a marvelous monthly theme, a smashing success of a Fund Raiser, distributions, yummy blanket cakes, KAS Podcast news and receiving mail woes.

 

Be sure to check out the poem, "A Yarnaholic's Afterlife". It is guaranteed to give you a laugh. Sadly, most of us will be able to relate to this poem.

Our team is South Africa is requesting that we do not mail anything to South Africa at the moment.

There are many problems with the Post Office at the moment and the team does not want to lose any parcels, packages in the process.

They hope that these issues will resolve themselves soon. 

We will keep you updated on events here on The Forum and on our Facebook Page.

Thank you for understanding.

Haha, I bought some digital scales a few years back just to weigh my squares and then realized the squares covered the screen.

Don't know why your pic is sideways, but have noticed it happens with a few people. I do it through my laptop and haven't had it happen.

Ok here is a pic of my squares and a couple of beanies I made on a knitting loom. I weighed myself and then weighed myself holding the squares.

The two piles in the back weigh about 2kg. Im going to parcel them up and post them on Monday.

BTW Wendy, unfortunately my kitchen scale is only small and when I put the squares on it, they cover up the digital screen that tells you the weight :-/ 

(does anyone know why my pic is sideways? When I upload it its the right way)

On average a square in 8 ply acrylic weighs about 20 grams, so that might give you a guide Jenny. I usually weigh my parcels on a kitchen scale that can weigh up to 5 kg. I like to do that so I don't get any surprises at the post office, and so I don't go just a couple of grams over the limits (I think they go in 1/2 kg increments). Those couple of grams can cost quite a bit extra!

I actually sat down and counted how many I have today - I am working on number 88!!! I have no idea what they weigh. I put them on my people scale and they aren't registering anything. :-/

I know how you feel, Jenny. I am in the same boat.  :))
