Knitting Statistics

Knit a blanket where every stitch is representative of a statistic. Every stitch could be one person who died, every stitch could be, one person on the earth, it would be an immense project to stitch 6.6 billion stitches, it could be a worldwide project. But I have already stitched 31,640 stitches into my the first third of the current scarf I'm knitting, it has taken me about 24 hours to create this. Use the CIA world factbook as a source for the statistics.
