Between the earthquake and the hurricane last week, I was just a wee bit distracted. Big fat 0 WTD/-68 YTD. Fortunately, minimal flooding and no utilities out. And now, Irene's been downgraded to a tropical storm.

I didn't have anything to post last week, but you missed my YTD (+ 128). It won't change the winners list. With the threat of a hurricane, the market was so busy I had to work extra hours, $$ :yay $$. no time for :crocheting though. Sat. I helped to board up basement windows so we wouldn't get :help again. After all that hard work and all we got was a little :2rain and lots of wind. I Sat. night and all day Sun. Made some pumpkin pins, stuffed ghosts and spiders. Used up 3 balls and rolled 2 skeins (+5) :cheer . Those little pumpkin treat bags are cute, I think I'll try some. Of course I'll have to get more orange :yarn .

WTD: + 5 YTD: + 133

I would like to take this moment to brag upon my husband, who is wonderful and thoughtful (and yes, its stash related)

Please keep in mind we just moved 2 months ago and things are still not all put away.

Too bad :turtle doesn't get miles for all that traveling! :lol I have a feeling I'm going to have big fat ZEROs for the next couple months. Between school and work I barely have time to sleep! :lol

greyhoundgrandma · August 31, 2011

I started another afghan this week. It's going pretty quickly and I should use up a skein by tomorrow. It's another one with a lot of sc but a more open pattern, so it's going a lot faster.

FrLopLady · August 31, 2011

I've used up 3 skeins on the hat..they were really small skeins

Used up a skein on a baby afghan :cheer

dragonpuck · August 31, 2011

If I win (die) with the most yarn, can I take it with me? If not, I won't go :no

I rolled 2 skeins down working on another Christmas stocking (+2). I'm sure I saw orange :yarn when repacking my stash after the basement flood. I can get back to Halloween stuff when I finish the stocking.

I'm probably not using much yarn this week. Been reading "Kill me if you Can" by James patterson. Very good story. Too bad I can't read and crochet or knit at the same time.

Oh, but you can!! I listen to books on cd's from the library and from simplyaudio. Doing two of my favorite things at the same time!

I was beginning to wonder how my 8 skeins that jumped in my cart last night were going to impact my ranking.

Feeling better now - thanks! :rofl :rofl

Wal-Mart still had sale yarn today--Lion Brand Hometown for 1.50 and P&C cotton for 75¢. I got 3 for the first and 12 of the cotton. Red Heart Stripes was on sale too, but I resisted it.

fc1123 · September 1, 2011

used up a skein of yarn +2

A big DRAT tonight. I won't be finishing the first skein on the Blue Mandala Throw I'm making until I can figure out what I'm doing wrong, or what's wrong with the instructions.

On to another project, I guess.

Don't you just hate it when that happens :angry

Yes some published patterns have mistakes- testers must cost too much I guess

I take pattens like this and scan them into word make the print bigger and double space between lines so that I can read the instructions - hopefully correctly and try to do exactly what it says - hard for me as I tend to "assume" the next step a lot-

one of my favorite baby blanket patterns is missing an entire row:think

When the above didn't work, I figured it was the pattern and not the crocheter and did what I thought should be next -- very frustrating- especially when you have paid for a pattern!!!

Hopefully it will work when you come back to it sounds pretty
