2012 COMBINED TALLY - KNIT-A-SQUILLION SQUARES & ITEM COUNT - we've broken the 230,000 barrier!
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
2 tee shirts
8 blankets
3 snood/cowls
230 soft toys
5 scarves
10 slippers baby jackets
157 prs socks (requested by Rhonda)
92 plastic needles
14 slip0in bit and bobs
31 pairs knitting needles
6 crochet hooks
6 games
For info these are the Knit-a-Squillion totals so far - started in July 2011
Squares 60409
Retirement Villages 1
People 61
Organisations 1
Groups 9

..... and I didn't mean to criticise you Charis. How do you explain how to 'select' without showing though?

Ah, Charis & Christine, the semantics of the English language strikes again! I must admit I do find the list a bit long these days for cut & paste! An automatic totalling button would be heavenly!
