That looks fabulous! I almost bought a ripple book today, then decided I would rather have it on my tablet.

 

I came here just to kill some time, then saw the thread, then realized I bought 7 skeins of yarn today:blush So, for week ending March 24, 2012:

 

(but I did end up finishing my Monkey Joe Roasting Co. afghan).

 

WTD: -13 YTD: -72

I didn't do too much crocheting this week. My score is wtd +2, ytd +9

[sahm2g1b]

I did some yarn cleanu out today after my kitties decided to have fun with my yarn balls the other night while we ere at the midnight showing of "The Hunger Games". I'm just thankful it was my smallish scrap balls & not some that I've been working with. So, 5 balls out the door due to. Hopelessly entangled and/or shredded. Next time, remind me not to leave th cat nip toys out when I'm going to be gone all day & half the night! So, my score for the week is:

 

WTD +17 /YTD +5

 

 

But, I'm going to be in the running next week for shoot the moon winner. My wonderful DH is bringing me back some yarn from Germany & I placed an order from Knitpicks. I guess I'd better get busy using up some yarn to offset what will coming in next week!

WTD +13 YTD +105

 

lucky 13:hook will be much smaller next week as we are moving and I can't crochet and watch the packers at the same time

[greyhoundgrandma]

Finally used up a second skein this week, but that didn't make much of a dent of my score!

 

WTD -84

[yarn_geek]

Used one and bought seven this week.

How do I know it? Fortunately my cat has never destroyed completely my thread.

 

I had busy evening yesterday and used up 2 balls of thread, so I've started this week +4

Great job on the scoreposting. It looks like it's your job for next week also.

 

Enjoy your new yarn, Greyhoundgrandma!

Thanks--lots of projects lined up!

 

Next week I'll be posting the scores late Sunday afternoon. We're taking the RV and will be at a weekend meeting not in an RV park, so no hook-up including internet.

And I'll be posting right behind you with the YTD scores. Please post in big letters and colors. It makes it much easier for everyone.

Yes, it is!! That looks awesome! Now I have to see if I have that pattern somewhere...

[crabby rat]

 

I missed posting! It's okay though, because I haven't used enough yarn this week to count.

Sorry I'm late...

It's in the February 2009 Crochet World magazine. Also the ripple afghans booklet can be downloaded from Annie's Attic.

Yay!! I thought it looked vaguely familiar - Crochet World is the only magazine I subscribe to, off to check my stack for that issue!!

 

Found it! I love it so much more in the bright colors - maybe that's why this pattern didn't catch my eye the first time I saw it!

I had seen someone do it in rainbow colors is why I decided to do bright colors! It looks so good in more than one color for the hearts! And the white really makes the bright colors pop!

for and for !

 

I am trying to get my filter and pond up and running. I'm soaked..at least it is a little bit warmer today and I'm at least under a partial greenhouse cover..the rest tore off in the wind, but it helps it be a little bit warmer!

It sure does!!

[yarn_geek]

I was feeling kind of bad about my -eighty something this week which makes -fifty something for the year. But then I looked back at last year. I was -253 at this point! It's all a matter of perspective!

Exactly! This time last year, I was at -414! Makes my current -110 look like nothing!

Okay, I used 2 skeins on 2 different ugly blankets, and a skein on a baby blanket (solas caomh pattern). Now I have a question.

 

How do you count a magic ball if you used full skeins to make it (but just parts of a full skein, kwim?) And then how do you count the rest of those skeins? Can I count the magic ball as 1, and still count the other skeins as 2 IF I use the rest of the skein on say 1 thing, and not on making another magic ball?

[marpan79]

OH crud....now I missed posting my score 2 weeks in a row But, in my defense I was away this weekend and had a bachelorette party on Saturday night. I met some fellow villers earlier in the day so I had planned to post my score after our meeting since I knew I'd be doing some crocheting there.....and I completely forgot

 

Oh well, I think I only had a point or 2 anyways....off to go reset my siggy for this week

If you haven't used the magic ball or the leftovers from the skeins I wouldn't count anything yet

 

The magic ball itself would be a combo of the skeins it was made out of. If you used 1 full skein and 1/2 of 3 others the entire ball would be equivalent then of 5 points (2+1+1+1) But, I wouldn't count any of that until I had used the the entire ball. The partial skeins leftover would be rolled and count as 1 each whenever they were used.

 

hope that is what you were asking and made some sense.

Weddings must be in the air. I was at a bachelorette party on Friday night
