Well done everyone!  The figures continue to grow year-on-year. They represent hours of caring, kindness and giving by a 'global family' of yarn workers!  The January Jewel Challenge is already getting the squares & hats flowing!

Below are the totals (so far) for 2011 - once the square lists for Nov & Dec are published I'll continue to update these figures - which are a combination of Forum totals and the Square List (which only lists Squares, Hats, Vests & Sweaters) plus Ravelry keeps it own list.  In fact, more is being sent, but at least the figures below will give a fair idea.

6229  hats

 755   sweaters/jumpers

   19   baby blankets

   68   kascuddles

   15   prs gloves

 254   slipovers/ pullovers

    • Great parcel...beautiful KAScuddle, Lillian.  :))

    • Ready to post, but won't be going till after the New Year holidays.  (Post office here in Aus is closed for a Post Office only holiday today and again tomorrow for New Years Day). Anyway, I thought as these items are all done and the only reason they are not already on their way is that the Post office is closed I am going to add them now.

      Will be sending:  35 squares, 1 jumper, 1 Beanie, 6 Undies, 2 Socks, 42 Plastic sewing needles and 1 Soft Toy.  Totals updated below.
