Hi, I'm doing a video on Knit-a-Square for school, and I was wondering how many squares you guys recieved last year and how many blankets you made? It would be so amazing if you replied. Thanks!

  Hi Christina, just replied to your email.

  Unfortunately, we cannot give you a complete total Christina as we started a Squillion campaign in July 2011. It has also been further complicated by a wonderful offer we received in the UK from Jigsaw Clothes Shops to ship all the squares from the UK to South Africa - thus relieving us Brits of the cost of overseas postage. This offer started last Autumn and only finished today, and, the squares will be shipped out later this week - we do not know how many squares were delivered to their shops! They kindly included their branches in California as well. So far in 8 months, from the figures we do know, members have produced 84,000 squares which would provide approx.2,500 blanket. In addition to this 3,000 hats and 750 garments (sweaters etc.,) have also been sent along with lots of slips-ins i.e. pencils, colouring books, educational stuff. Our year will not end until 31st June 2012. Hope this helps, but am off to bed (almost 2 hours late!) now. Hopefully, some of the USA or Canadian Team can add to this information.

Well done Kalai, 2 people on Facebook have already found their items listed!

  I was very pleased to see several names from people in this area with whom I have had contact, especially as they have sent their squares direct. The flyers must have done their work!

    Well done Christine - brilliant that they have sent them direct and not just brought them to you.
