"Any tips on the best way to pack/send parcels from the UK, to fit in with weight and size restrictions? I have rather a lot to send:)"
Mitred Square Blanket
"Sharon, I saved this photo a few years ago because I loved the colour combination and thought one day I'd try to replicate it in a blanket. I never got around to it, but now you've done it for me - thank you!"
"Can't add anything to what Bev has said - a real beauty!"
"On my hook (and keeping my knees warm) - another stash-busting C2C blanket."
"They make me think of spring, Karen - a happy thought on these grey, damp days!"
"This is my excuse!"
"A lovely selection, Karen, and well done for using up your leftovers - I can't even begin to imagine doing that :) And huge congratulations to your husband - these are gorgeous squares, and he's right to feel pleased with…"
"All beauties, Patricia, and I can't pick a favourite, but have to agree about the top right. I was going to ask where to find variegated aran, but on second thoughts - I must not buy more yarn until I've used up my…"
"A tiny tot is going to be so cozy in that blanket, and the squares are a great use of leftovers - I really wish I could master the magic knot!"
"Stunning, Karen - it glows! "
"Your C2C blankets are always amazing, Patricia, and this one is no exception!"
"Blue will always win over pink for me, but both are super!"
"I really like this one, Patricia - I realised too late that I had made a typo when posting my previous response and meant to include 'bottom left', but maybe repeating 'top left' was a Freudian slip :))"
"Um ... bottom right ... or...maybe top left ... but perhaps top left ... okay, all of them!"

I have a pattern for the African Flower Ball. I can send it to you, but I found it on Internet under African Flower Soccer Ball. It was created to celebrate the World Cup in SA. If you can't find it ther, let me know and I'll send you my copy. It's only 5 rounds. You need 12 to make a ball the size of mine, which is smaller then a regular soccerball.

Hi Lesley
I saw your comment on my square (thank you!). The yarn that I used is called Crofter and is made by Sirdar. It comes in many different colour combinations and is lovely to work with. In this picture, it is the ball on the far right: http://forum.knit-a-square.com/photo/bargain-yarn?context=user
Hope that helps! Helen

Hi Lesley.
A warm welcome to Knit A Square from over here in Western Australia. :))
Knitting or crocheting an 8" square or two or possibly even a few is a wonderful gift for the children. They love to receive their blankets, created from squares, which come from kindly, caring folk such as yourself, from over 60 countries all over our world. You are encouraged to knit/crochet in any stitch you prefer, but we do ask that they not be too 'lacy' as warmth is our highest priority. PJs (Plain Janes as they are affectionately known) are the backbone to all our blankets. These are single colour squares that are in garter stitch(knitting) or single crochet as they are very solid and provide a contrast to a picture/striped/patterned square or two that may be added to a blanket.By clicking on the KASpattern book tab at the top of the page you can also find lots of patterns provided by our fellow KASers. If you would kindly check out our wishlist for 2016, you can see what items we are currently focusing on.
