The squares and hats left-over from the Bus Challenge have started the new tally, Mary K-Lokken has 40 to be added, and, our Whiterose Group has 12 being posted this week.

 

Have gone through the comments and the new totals for this challenge are (I think) :

 

Squares : 425

 

Hats : 137

 

Time to get cracking!

Love the challenge idea! I've started back on squares, and sweaters for soft toys in between!

The Knit Wits at Rolling Hills Community Church  in Lago Vista, Texas, mailed 270 squares and 5 hats on May 2.  We did not know about the ZIMBABWE challenge so did not write that on the package, but we would like to help fill up the truck and warm the children there with our squares. 

 

That would make the new totals 695 squares and 142 hats :-)

 

Winter is coming....we are knitting and crocheting as fast as we can!

Marietta I'm pretty darned certain your squares will go on that truck!  What a phenomenal gift from your Church ladies....high fives to all of you!  You're quite right about winter coming, I must get going this week myself on some squares.  Again, DO thank them for us, that's fabulous! :D

Kalai can you tell us a little about "Mother of Peace" who you said will be stitching the squares together in Zimbabwe? And will things be going to one specific orphanage or to children out on the street as well? I think you can see we are all pretty interested in the whole project! Clicking away here in wet Wales xx

Brilliant news, Oaklands School in Loughton, Essex have added another 400 squares to their original figure of 1500 (added to the Feb-Apr challenge), therefore the new total is :

 

1105 squares and 142 hats

 

Thanks very much to Hayley Poulton for co-ordinating the involvement of these caring children - what  a great example to others!
