You don't have to add it to your score until it's delivered.

 

 

Yeah, I guess it's best if I post my score once a week and wait until the yarn is in hand. I have no idea how fast hobby lobby is at delivery, as this is my first order. I was overly excited about the yarn when I posted earlier. I am really looking forward to crocheting that afghan, probably because it is a present for someone I love very much, my daughter-in-law.

[pineknott]

gave some skeins away,frogged a blanket for the colors they no longer have

wtd +25 ytd +152

[greyhoundgrandma]

A good yarn week:

[lhasaapsolady]

Finished the granny square poncho this week. Started a large afghan with big skeins of redheart yarn, I have half the pieces for this made. WTD+10

[krazycrocheter]

I frogged a baby blanket i got from salvation army like a million years ago. So my WTD-2/YTD-16 or -18

[Braxxi]

STILL working in the wrong direction! Dang you clearance yarn!!!

 

WTD -28

YTD -372

[Shannart]

Finally received my Ebay yarn, picked up white Red Heart Supersaver at Walmart, and bought some beautiful yarn from LYS

 

Used 2 yarn balls on Charity square, and 2 skeins of Sugar & Creme on my mom's b-day present: simple square dishcloth, decorative dishcloth (both 100% cotton), and a matching acrylic scrubby. She specifically asked for more crocheted dishcloths for her birthday.

 

Grand Totals:

 

WTD: -28

YTD: 0

 

My WTD just killed the stashbusting I had accomplished

I was doing GREAT! This would have given me a +13!!

 

But..did you know there is a SUPER sized Joann's store in Hillsboro, OR where we were for the rabbit show this weekend... :eek Sure 'nuf! :hook

 

2 caron pounds in colors I hadn't seen (one a really pretty blue teal kinda color) Some RH boutique or something like that and a RH tweed that I had also never seen before!!! there went my score..

 

But I CAN say I am still a +1 for the week

:wavingAdd this week's score (-2) to your running total from last week (YTD: -16). So you're ytd score is now -18 as of 8/13, and your wtd score resets to 0. Hope this helps.

I used up a skein and a ball but also adopted some clearance skeins...

WTD: -13; YTD: -817

I'm not sure what it is, but I really like the stitch pattern on the wool eater.

I used Sarah London's pattern found here: http://sarahlondon.wordpress.com/2009/08/25/wool-eater-instructions/

 

Not a hard pattern and I love the way it turned out

Hi ladies. I am sorry to wait until the last minute but the internet at the hospital is giving me trouble posting to Crochetville. Claims it is a "sex education" site if you can believe that and only occasionally works. Can I please get someone to step in and post scores for me this week? So sorry, it's just almost impossible from my phone.

I'll do it for you. No problem.

Yes I do. In my yarn bag with a lot of other yarn. They will become fast friends. Then when I use them they will miss each other terribly.

Hi CLLinda ~ I don't see pineknott's score up here. I think we both had the same score for the week.

 

Congrats, Sue!

[Fiberfolly]

My score for the week ending 8/13 was +3 wtd/ +3 ytd

[TurtleLvr]

That's what I get for joining swaps and ordering yarn then not using any of it!

 

[krazycrocheter]

We must all think the yarn we see on the shelves need a new home.
