I finished a pinafore and rolled a skein into a ball....+1 beginning the week.

I finished a scarf that I've been working on at the office in odd moments and a skein. I was holding my breath that I wouldn't run out before the scarf was done!   +3

I went to my parents for Easter. Did some on the bus/subway trip, no used though. Mom gave me 15 balls and 2 skeins (-19) ! I'm going to gift it all to the local knitters (what mother doesn't know... ). I'll drop it off tomorrow. I'll count it now, because I don't know if I'll get here again this week (+19) .

WTD: + 19  YTD: + 72

I'm on a bit of a dishcloth making kick right now, and have so far gotten through two skeins of cotton, and a ball of cotton for a +5 start to the week.  I have yet to buy or receive any yarn since joining this CAL (which was the point!)  Seems to be working at keeping me accountable, which is awesome!

Bought a cone of white cotton today.....+1 now.

Teaching a friend to crochet making dishcloths so I finished a skein making a demonstration granny square dishcloth.  Used the end of that skein and another ball of cotton to make some Easter Eggs to put aside for next year's Easter box.

Finished my long time afghan..... Finally! Rolled a skein down to a ball after finishing the border. +5 for the week.

[krazycrocheter]

Nothing so far this week. Actually haven't crocheted any this week yet. Been at my nanas since Easter. Just go home this afternoon. Will probably get started tomorrow crocheting for my scavenger hunt partner.

[Just-in]

Tiny little +1 for now for a doll dress that used a tiny ball of cotton:) I hope to finish a skein today, too!

[greyhoundgrandma]

Made a baby dress yesterday, but no yarn finished off.

[Addicted2patterns]

I used up one skein +2 then I bought 2 more. -4 So far I am at -2 for the week. Getting some things crocheted so I am hoping to at least have used up 1 more by Saturday.

[crsheridan]

Working on CAL squares - I tamed one crazy skein and rolled it into a ball so that puts me at +1 so far for the week...

[greyhoundgrandma]

Bought a cone of white cotton today.....+1 now.

I finished a skein on a dishcloth....+3 for the week.

[Bailey4]

Made myself a dishcloth and put another Easter Egg away for next year's box from the cotton yarn I got in the ami swap.  +2

[Bailey4]

Another dishcloth and Easter Egg from my the cotton I got from my ami swap.  +2

[Ellie 13]

I messed up my last post, I forgot how to add/subtract (I knew + 19 was to good to be true). My total should have been 0. I used a ball and rolled a skein down, so now my total is + 2 . I need to get more for the afghan, so I'll start next week as minus .

WTD: + 2   YTD: + 55

I have had a couple of weeks physical therapy on my right hand.  It's in home PT and the therapist comes twice a week plus I do the exercises on the days PT does not come.  Next week will be my last week.  There has been improvement.  While my right little finger is still numb, it does not tingle as much as it use to.  Plus with the exercises I have been doing I am getting the strength back in this hand.  It did not affect my crocheting and I was told I could continue crocheting while I was doing therapy but I still took at least one week off from crocheting.  Now I am back crocheting but just have not used up enough yarn to count.  I am so happy to get strength back in this hand as I am right handed and it was very frustrating not to have full use of my hand.  Here's to  many many more happy days of for everyone.

So glad to hear that healing is coming to your hand little by little.  I know how frustrating that is, especially when your injury involves your dominant hand.  It's amazing how so many everyday tasks are affected, not just crocheting, but combing your hair, brushing your teeth, eating with utensils or writing.  We all will keep praying that you will continue to gain strength and feeling in your fingers.  You are courageous and strong, Kathy.  God bless you!

I think I did it again!  Pay week, after-Easter sales, and coupons have led me down the path to yarntopia.  A trip to WalMart to buy a replacement bulb for my lamp netted me three skeins of cotton to match those feisty little balls I got at the thrifty store a couple of weeks ago.  Then a trip to ACMoore to find the replacement bulb that WalMart had, but didn't fit and I returned, snagged me four skeins of Homespun and another two skeins of cotton.  So, I gained 9 skeins (-18), and no bulb.  What's a girl to do?    I better get busy, but in the daylight, 'cause mama got no lamp light!
