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

10 slippers baby jackets
157 prs socks (requested by Rhonda)

Great parcel...beautiful KAScuddle, Lillian. :))
Ready to post, but won't be going till after the New Year holidays. (Post office here in Aus is closed for a Post Office only holiday today and again tomorrow for New Years Day). Anyway, I thought as these items are all done and the only reason they are not already on their way is that the Post office is closed I am going to add them now.
Will be sending: 35 squares, 1 jumper, 1 Beanie, 6 Undies, 2 Socks, 42 Plastic sewing needles and 1 Soft Toy. Totals updated below.
