Okay, you asked for it (well, one of you did ;o) ) so here’s some stats from Q2 of the Finish Along to keep you going while you dream up your Q3 lists:
The Good:
- At the start of Q2 there were 181 people who had linked up
- At the end of Q2 there were 124 people who had linked up, and we had an almost 100% reference back to starting lists, yay!
- Nobody missed the link up at the end due to time zone issues (or if they did, they didn’t tell me ;o) )
- Proportionately, 9% more people linked up finishes than in Q1
- We had 408 finishes
- That’s an average of over 3 finishes per person!
- We had 10 fabulous sponsors
The Bad:
- 2 people had finishes that weren’t in their starting lists
- 2 people failed to link up all their entries individually, so got only 1 entry into the draw
- 2 people entered a non-finished item (they were lovely, but not finished!)
The Ugly
- 5 people misspelled my name (you’re lucky you didn’t get docked entries ;o) )
- 1 person failed to get a functioning link in both the start and the end parties so I couldn’t find them to look at their lists – please check that your links work when you enter, it should look something like: http://fairyfacedesigns.blogspot.ie/2014/07/a-made-to-measure-medallion-finish.html If you see something other than that sort of URL, ie it starts referencing your bloggerID and lists and things, then it won’t work.
You all did a fab job, keep up the good work!
That was some fun stats! Lots of work to check on all of that so thank you for being such a lovely host! Hopefully now you can get back to sewing! Thanks again.
I am hanging my head in shame Katy. I see I am occasionally guilty of mis-spelling your name. I catch myself when I type your name but I see I missed a few. So sorry. And with a name like Cyndy (which is always mis-spelled) you would think I would know better! Thanks for the stats!
Thank you so much for hosting. I know it's a LOT of work!
Phew! You need a drink after that lot.
Oh, I'm glad I'm not in the bad or ugly lists..I'd be quaking in my boots! Thanks for all your hard work and collating these stats – I didn't ask but I was dying to know!
Blimey this could almost have been a random Thursday Kalie…runs for cover
I love stats like this…so much fun. Yes…I'll do without some stuff in my suitcase for you!:)
I love stats like this and yes….I'll do without certain things in my suitcase for you!:)
I hope ou put your feet up for a few days ; )
I/we appreciate all your hours of work
Gah, I hope I want guilty of any of these! Thanks for all your hard work.
Great stats- I dont think I was one of the bad people …
hehehe, I like that you paid attention to the bad and ugly things… especially people who spelled your name wrong! ;D
I had to check back on that one…And yep, I am one of the bad people…guilty for misspelling your name ounce…I am truly sorry Katy.:((
My name gets mispronounce and misspell quite often, I know…how annoying!!
Thanks to bring it to our attention, thanks for the stats and thanks for hosting!
The stats are so much fun! I bet everyone is scrambling to see if they were in the good, bad or ugly category. I was in the MIA myself 🙁 Big pat on the back to everyone else and a thank you to you!
Interesting stats Katy! Thank you so much for taking the time to organise the FAL this year too.
Maybe that's why I haven't joined, as I'm rubbish at reading instructions and just *know* I'd get something wrong!
I don't know about THEM doing a fab job, but you certainly have!!!!!
oooh kaaaytey 🙂 you crack a sound whip missy!
Oh cool, thanks for sharing all those stats. Fab job! Now I better get some pictures for my Q3 list. My goal would be to finish more than the average, lol.
Any possibility that you are Aries?
I've been MIA all year, so I definitely didn't factor in the good, the bad or the ugly. I was going to join in this quarter but, alas, I'm going away again!!!!!! I do like your stats though, a great addition to the end of each FAL.
It seems appropriate that you are doing the stats.
And all this from someone who wouldn't do stats as part of her maths degree!
What?! not do stats as part of your math degree?! As a former stats professor, I can only say… well, I dont have much to say, since noone does stats as part of their degree;) XX!
Ooh Katy, I'm SO sorry to have misspelled your name – since corrected! With a name like Meredithe, which I've had misspelled all my life, you'd think I'd be more careful!! Thank you for doing all those stats – appreciate the time spent.
The stats are interesting and fun! Thanks for all your hard work Katy 🙂
Good stats. I'm in the group the got distracted and forgot to link up my pitiful single finish 🙂
