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

These new figures reflect the squares, tops and beanies received in South Africa minus those already recorded by Forum members on this discussion post. One change, the May list has combined the Sweaters, Jumpers & Vests and renamed them Tops, therefore I've followed suit. I'm hoping, that eventually, we will see more pictures of the many many squares that others KasFolk from around the world send to South Africa.
