QUESTION
How many Foot of Squares have been made by RCTY'ers since it began two
years ago.

That's a lovely idea, but I am a metric person LOL
Please tell me: how many square inches in a square foot?

Hugs,

Anna Maria

A foot equals 12 inches so a square foot would be 12 by 12.

Just for clarification: is this how many feet of squares, *if laid end to
end*, or how many *square feet* of squares? (I'm thinking it would take
four 6-inch squares to make one square foot).

QUESTION
How many Foot of Squares have been made by RCTY'ers since it began
two years ago.

The winner will be the first one received that is either spot on or
the nearest TO the answer. so if the answer is 100ft and one person
writes 96 another 101, and another 98 then the winner would be the
one who posted 98. in the event of two or more people getting the
same correct answer then Nora will decide by looking at the time the
answers were sent to her, and chosing the earliest of those replies.
Her decision is final...

Do you mean how many Square Feet of Squares?

101 is closer to 100 than 98 is.

Are you going to go like they do on THe Price Is Right? Closest to the
answer without going over? g

Hugs,
Katherine

See my other mail send on clarification of this

cheers...Cher

regardless of whether someone has received or not, it is really a guess at
how many people have signed up and\ resigned up each month...each time you
signed up you should have received and sent one foot or 1ft of squares..
nothing to do with the square feet either just the length of all these
squares if they were laid in a row,..

Thank you Cher - that should straighten all the queries out - I was just
about to explain to everyone but did not like to do so since I felt I would
be kind of overriding the famous CNN team !!!

That would be four squares right.....So if I did make 48 squares I divide
it by 4. That is my square fotage. I can also lay them all out on the
floor and start measuring......hummmm, that means I cannot walk around
anymore until it is all done. Oh yeah I have that many squares.......
Sigh, I will stick to knitting, even knitting lace patterns, is easier
than this, you guys can have the math....LOL

Els

I'll forward this onto Nora then Gwen, have a good time...hugz.....Cher

OK here we go answer is 375 square feet.....I figured that there were
about 1500 squares knitted for the two year exchanges. Divide that by 4
to get square feet, you come to 375 square feet. That is with the
following people involved more or less.

Katherine and Michelle in NF, Darlene in Toronto; Madelaine in Whitby,
once or twice, maybe; Joceline in Toronto as well, also off and on;
Gemini at the bottom of Ontario off and on, Norma, also in Ontario;
Shelagh D. on the Canadian prairies; Els in BC; Laura also in BC; I am
sure that there is a Laura in Kamloops, but I am not sure if the name is
correctly spelled, she does come to the Island to visit her family in
Sooke.

We take the ferry to Seattle and meet up with Ranie, Judy T and Jennifer,
Joan K lives also in the same state, so does Laurie D. Stampot, AKA
Monica in Origon; Nora lives in the Eastern part of the US, Noreen in the
Tennessee, Susan C in Florida; Slinky AKA Wooly in Texas; Marie and her
Cats in Arizona; Anne J on the prairies; Karen H also in the States; Jan
smack in the middle close to the Canadian border in the States; Laura in
Boston; Helen in Washington DC; Kira in NC: Myka in Alabama; Allaya in
California; Dennis and Bart A, somewhere in the mountains, but did they
exchange squares....uhhhhhm?? Kim also in the States, Coggy in MI: Donna
H. VA; Lynne D in Texas; Hazel S in CA; Dawn and her Grand mother, just
joined

Cher in England and Ophelia in Scotland, Christine In England; Ray in
England; Martin also in England, did he knit squares or only post
pictures for us; Sue in England; Sarah G in England; Sarah B, in England

Hop across the water to the main land, and we have Anna Maria, 0ne
exchange with me, in Sweden, and Aud in Norway, and Johanna in Norway....I
wonder did she indeed make squares....??; Pirjo in Finland; Ria in
Belgium, not sure if she ever made squares either; Barbara Vaughn in
Italy: Mirjam, of and on; Gwen Down under :=))

Please take in account that I am one year short of 70 so I am going to
miss names, I should not have missed, but I count about 54 people involved
in this exchange.

Els

PS And I will make a kumihimo braided necklace, to order on fiber content
and colours, for the person who comes in on the bottom.....:=))I
