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

The way I understand it USE what you have. There's no rule concerning yarn weight. As we're often told "everything will be used."  4 ply will make a lovely lightweight baby blanket.

Great stuff, Dawn!! I never thought of keeping the hat tallies separate, I put mine in both...oops.

Permalink Reply by P. Jeanne Haessler on July 10, 2012 at 3:20am

Actually I thiink they want hats in both tallies.  They want to know how many hats are arriving in the red and white challenge, so they know how many they yet have to go, but also those are KAS hats so they SHOULD go in the grand tally here. :)  Both places is the right way to go so far as I know.
