I’ve been largely sidelined this week due to a horrendous cold. I went to the doctor, thinking I had strep throat, but it’s just a cold, thankfully. The beautiful thing was that my doctor ordered me to take the next day OFF. 🤣 The irony is that, due to not schlepping out to do things after work or evenings, I’ve had oodles of time to crochet, so I’ve managed to go through a skein working on the shrug. WTD = +2

That is stunningly beautiful!

I’m working on the Quick Cocoon Shrug and my scarf. The shrug is much easier now that I got some stitch markers! No skeins used up yet, though, so: WTD = 0

The yarn is Lion Brand Heartland, so a worsted weight. So far, it’s a fairly easy pattern, but you have to count. I want to get myself some more stitchmarkers so that it will be easier.

We’re crazy people who put off taking down the decorations for as long as possible! Today, I’m doing to keep going with my new giant shrug kit I got for Christmas! It’s one of those patterns where you have to count like crazy, so I’ll probably have to do it at home, rather than have it as a CIP project.

My niece LOVED the Afghan!

I'm going to be away this weekend, and busy with various activities...including giving the afghan to my niece! I'm so excited! So, here are my totals: Stashbuster Total: WTD -14 YTD -72 Happy New Year, all!!!

Count me in! Always such fun! The funny part is when I buy or acquire yarn, and my better half exclaims, “You have to add that to your STASH TOTALS you know!!!” 😂

Looks like my stash totals are going to increase! Someone found my wishlist and got me the kit I wanted to make a giant shrug.

I’m fried, too! I’ve been baking cookies all afternoon, but STILL don’t have enough for all the people I’m giving them to. Also, we have THREE places to go for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Zzzzzzz... 😱😜

I’ve FINALLY completed the afghan! I have to wash it before I take pictures to show. I’m planning to travel to Fall River, MA next weekend to give it to her in person. I’m now working on a scarf, but no new skeins used up, so: Stashbuster Total: WTD +0 YTD -58

That’s just beautiful!

I’m FINALLY seeing light at the end of the tunnel with my niece’s Afghan. I used up another skein on it, so: Stashbuster Total: WTD +2 YTD -58

I’m still working on the endless border of my afghan, but didn’t use up a skein, so: WTD = 0 😎

I used up another skein on the Afghan that will never end, so: WTD = +2 I do have a tiny yarn supporter, as you see! 😎
