It was employee appreciation time at the ol' craft store this week.

[FrLopLady]

Used up 2 of the skeins I bought so

 

WTD -2

 

not bad..for me

[Crafty Witch]

After three weeks visiting my mom, I'm finally home with a big fat zero in my score. Yep, I managed to not buy yarn at my mom's LYS. It helped that they were moving into a new location and didn't have everything set up yet. For Boston members, Newbury Yarns has moved.

 

WTD 0/YTD-70

Gold Winner! walker 1021 +66

 

Jana's should have been a -66. She got gifted a TON of fun fur.

 

[TurtleLvr]

Used up a skein last night on an afghan.

 

[BigPinkPolkaDot]

What did you forget Sue? Do you have more to claim on your score this week?????

 

 

Well, actually, I do have to pack my bags tonight because I am leaving on a jet plane tomorrow morning. So I will post my score now and then you all can either aim to go higher or make sure you fly just under it. Guess I'll have to wait til I return to see who tried to out do me and if anyone did.

WTD = 66

Is this a positive or a negative? I'm sorry if I messed up. I'll fix it when you tell me, Jana.

[CLLinda]

Great job on the scorekeeping! I'll be checking back later to see if there are any corrections.

[FrLopLady]

finished up a skein of homespun on a spiral scarf. Need just a bit off a 2nd skein to finish it, and then composing a hat with the rest of the skein

 

so +2 for now!

[yarn_geek]

Oh wow! I'm so jealous!!!

 

Yes, but it put my ytd score below?/above? -1000!

[MouseCLP]

Yes, but it put my ytd score below?/above? -1000!

You give the rest of us something to aspire to!!!

[greyhoundgrandma]

Yes, but it put my ytd score below?/above? -1000!

[TurtleLvr]

Yes, but it put my ytd score below?/above? -1000!

 

And here I'm concerned about mine going over? under? 200.

 

[krazycrocheter]

Hi everyone! Hows it going? I know I haven't been in here in forever. Just wanted to stop by and say hi. Gotta go do schoolwork. See ya

[CLLinda]

Just staying out of Hobby Lobby this week. The ILTY is on sale, $3.66 and then crochet cotton by Coats is $2.22. I just have to resist and stay out of HL this week.

So, I started a mile-a-minute and it needed a bag so instead of using any old bag I was inspired by the tote lovers on here and made up one for it. The tote used two big balls I had ( +2) and I've been movin along with the afghan (+3) woo hoo:) Now I think I'll make another tote....it was nice to have something useful made, quickly

[greyhoundgrandma]

I finished a skein and rolled one into a ball. Today was my monthly trip to take my son to the airport, so I went by JoAnn's to use my coupons. I only bought yarn for specific projects--two Christmas presents. Ended up with seven skeins, so I'm at -11.

[TurtleLvr]

Bought a skein and used one so they wipe eachother out, but turned a skein into a ball too.

 

[TCarra]

Well, this morning I had to take my truck in to the dealership for servicing. It's only about a mile from JoAnne's. Yup... I'm at -3 for this week. Oh dear!

BTW, with it a little cooler here I've been snuggling with my new blankie.

I'll admit I was a bit worried making yours with acrylic yarn because of where you live. That's one reason I looked for a special pretty "open" pattern. Clyde and I are glad you like it.

 

P.S. Clyde's "new" thing now is digging at around 4:00 am. I'm a light sleeper so he wakes me up. ..... I foresee a lot of crochet time for making Christmas gifts and working down my stash if he keeps this up!
