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

5 scarves
10 slippers baby jackets
157 prs socks (requested by Rhonda)
92 plastic needles
14 slip0in bit and bobs

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

Lovely photo of you Andrea. I sympathise I had a posting issue for a while too with things piling up but I have managed to send two parcels last week.The lady in the PO saw they were for a charity and gave me a calendar probably a free giveaway but nice anyway ! We all have our ups and downs with posting but get there in the end. What a lovely friend you have a true KASer ! By the way you are always welcome on the forum, your heart is with KAS even if your posting gets slow !
