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
