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

In the UK we use large black polythene bags to line our kitchen rubbish bins, consequently they a referred to as 'black bin bags' - even in the shops! If anyone has space in a parcel to tuck a strong large bag inside it is always useful for Ronda.

Thanks for the information.
It's always interesting to learn how common items have different names in different places. We call them trash bags.
I often pack my squares, etc., in "freezer bags", plastic bags with zip tops , figuring they might come in handy in SA.

They certainly will Toby - nothing, and I mean nothing, is wasted!
