used up +4 balls and rolled a skein into another so +5 total so far today.

oh ho ladies!!! I got a jump on some spring cleaning, no I haven't jumped on the KonMari method but I knew I needed a good organize. and I've got two HUGE bags of yarn that I've collected over the years from various people giving me their great grandma's stash or buying me yarn that is a color or style that I don't like. I now have two bags of donation yarn! so I have a whopping +147 after my negatives from earlier in the week! WTD +147 YTD +147

used up half a skein on a P*ssyHat for the women's march next weekend! I'm in love with the double helix cable on it! http://www.chemknits.com/2017/02/geneie-pussyhat-knitting-pattern.html and I finished another less impressive one and used up another 2 balls! So far I'm at -18 for the week!

so if i count each mini as only 1 point i would have -21 this week if i have to count them as 2 points each I have -34 These two photos are the same package just showing the 4 different minis ALSO how awesome is it that I perfectly match these two minis!! ^^^^^

I'd love to join this year again and hopefully I'll not fall of the band wagon of posting again! But I have a logistics question. I've gotten into Sock knitting or at least buying sock yarn! (because we all know buying yarn and using yarn are two different hobbies.) and I've gotten some sock sets which is a 100 gram skein and then a 15-20 gram mini skein. Do I need to count the mini skein as 1 point or 2 points? cuz woooooo buddy I have a really big negative score this week if i do...

WYD: -8 KaylaKitsa WYD: 0 not much yarning around for us this week

so my Etsy Yarn came in reallly fast! I ordered it on Tuesday at 730am and it shipped later that day from DesMoines, Iowa to South West Ohio and arrived on my doorstep at 11 am today! These ^^^^ are all the same skein first two with flash third without! This is Bartlett Yarns in their Rangley 2-ply Worsted in the Color Blue Loch it is 100% Wool <-- This is Berroco Ultra Alpaca in the color 6233 (Hot Pink) it is Worsted weight 50% Wool 50% Alpaca <-- this is Stonehedge Fiber Mill the Shepherd's Wool(100%) Worsted Weight in the color Sage <--- and this is Lorna's Laces Shepherd Worsted Multi in the Watercolor color, 100% wool so there goes -8 points...... maybe i can get a couple of balls on my scrap blanket done.

I loooove Ice Yarns! looks like lots of us were weak this week! I bought four skeins of Wool from Etsy this Tuesday, but won't be counting it til it arrives!

woooooo i've been knitting up washcloths like nobodies Business!! WTD: +6 and KaylaKitsa donated a bunch of yarn to a local kids group! so she has WTD: +44

No. We are alright with how this works she has an extremely hard time learning new internet or tech related things (shes on the Autism spectrum) but still wants to participate. it would just discourage her to try and learn the mechanics of using the forum. We've tried introducing new websites before and it overwhelms her

hey all. I do wanna reiterate that KaylaKitsa is also in this CAL she just does not have her own account here, and so i post her scores every week. I will do my best from now on to have our scores posted with Big Font and colors so you can see that there is two separate scores in my post

Well ive not done diddly squat this week. WTD 0 KaylaKitsa WTD 0

I used up 6 balls of yarn! WTD: +6 And KaylaKitsa used some yarn but not a full ball! WTD 0

WOOOOT starting the year off right!!! I used up 15 balls of yarn on a scrap blanket!!! and then a skein on a dog coat! WTD: +17 KaylaKitsa's used up 2 skeins and 2 balls! WTD: +6!

OOOH i'm going to be in the positives this time!!! Myself and KaylaKitsa are back this year! but we have a question.... we've gotten into Spinning yarn.... do we count what we make? at what point should we consider it a ball? what point does it become a Skein?
