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

For info these are the Knit-a-Squillion totals so far - started in July 2011

Adding Robert's comments and squares: I just added another 18 squares from my group, not much I know, but they were all pure wool and some of them were lovely thick Aran yarn :-)
And as Laurie F. said, every square counts.

Hi I hope this is the right place to ask this question.In the next few weeks I will be posting a large amount of squares, hats and jumpers that have been knitted by my school community. I wanted to ask about the jumpers. Are they needed or are they best sent elsewhere?

Absolutely, Shirley, they are needed. Winter is approaching in SA and lots of our kids will be cold. How wonderful that your school community is on board.
