Great job on the scorekeeping!

 

[FrLopLady]

thank you Linda. I had most of it done before church this morning. Checked to see if anyone else had updated when I got home.

 

For those of you that dread that job..shop away! It really isn't hard. I just have 2 browsers open and type in one and scroll through post in the other. Just keep them in groups by what their scores are.. + scores on top, middle scores of staying even, and - scores towards the bottom. Take out extra spaces, make font/color changes and voila! You could also use a word program of some kind instead of another browser and cut and paste

[Jennifer seven]

Seriously?! With only 6 skeins bought?! You guysare killin' me. Sigh.

[prettywoman030981]

Rolled 2 skeins into balls on our trip yesterday working on my spiral lapghan. And rolled a skein into a ball making DH a camo beanie today. (I'll post pics later). So already at a +3 for the week!!!

[prettywoman030981]

Oh, and I got a $30 hobby lobby gift card and a $50 check fr my birthday.......I may end up as shoot the moon since I plan to go to HL this week.

Last year, I won it with a -4! You just never know how the week will shake out.

I'll be giving you a run for your money. One order--27 skeins--is due in Monday. I placed a second order--29 skeins--today, but I don't know yet if it'll get here this week, or next.

 

I'll still be in the positives for the year after the first order, but the second will totally sink my score. That's yarn for 4 afghans and a bunch of scarves.

Turtlelvr -10 beat

 

We seem to be opposites every week. The week I buy is the week you use and visa versa.

Well, I don't think I'll get THAT much. . I need yarn for a sweetheart ripple, but that's only like 9 skeins. Then just single skeins for hats and dishcloths. But, you never know!!!!

[greyhoundgrandma]

The order just came it so I'm off to start an afghan with the Bernat Mosaic and hopefully burn through some skeins... -54

[CLLinda]

Using up a ball on a ruffle of a baby hat. It's so cute.

 

[Stephanie]

Ladies, I've been pathetic. No crocheting!! My plan for crocheting this weekend got axed because I hurt my back and can't sit. This week though, I should prevail. I printed out a replacement copy of my directions for an afghan I started 3 years ago. Should start plowing through yarn working and finishing that. So, I remain with no yarn used. ;(

[FrLopLady]

almost done with a hat..have to work on taxes..after crochetville

[Needle Arts]

18 skeins out the door today to charity knitting group. Did some sorting and I had to love it to keep it. If not, was I likely to use it in the next year..if no again..out it went.

No crochet time last night. After doing homework, I was too tired. Just plopped on the couch next to hubby and relaxed while he watched his political shows.
