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

That's correct, Connie......and WOW! 95 squares, what a wonderful amount!!!!! Is this some squares from your Event in April(was it April?....this year is flying by.) Well done, it sure bumps up the total. :)

Yes, all of these squares were either knit/crocheted at the knit-a-thon, or as a direct result of past knit-a-thons! We had a few lovely ladies drop off bags of squares they had been working on since last year, so over time, it does grow. I have some pictures I will be uploading, when I find the time.....

I think we should all pause for a moment and give three cheers... or raise a glass... to Pam Antink... who, with all the other things she is doing for KAS, still finds time to check the square lists and update us here on the totals received in SA.
Last Thusday she posted the new count, and with what has been listed since then, we now have the astounding total of 164813 squares on the list!!!! That translates into 4708 blankets, 4708 kids who will not shiver at night!!!
We are making a difference!!! Thanks for the update, Pam.
