Used up a ball on my scrap c2c and a skein on a cabled beanie, but then I went to AC Moore today to finish up the last little bit for the stocking swap and the Black Friday deals got me. Bought 2 skeins. 

 

I won't be around tomorrow to post the scores... DH and I are leaving for a football game at 9 and I won't be back until after dinner. I hate to ask, but can someone cover for me? The last couple times it's worked out that the games have been away so I've been home to do them. 

 

Mona, I hope that thumb heals quickly! And I'm totally jealous of your craft retreat! 

 

WTD -1   YTD +48

I can post scores, we're going to my grandma's in the morning but should be home in the early afternoon (around 1 or 2-ish EST) if that's not too late... :)

hi mona, do we all keep track throghout dec as well, so we all have one more month, right, then do you do a yearly total thing, or what????? This year is moving so quick, i agree, and has given me a good idea of what has come in, and what has gone out, i think in January, i will begin keeping better records on yarn inventory, yarn buyin, and projects completed, and mailed or delivered out, i must buy a nice notebook for that tomorrow!!

so we count still through dec, and then you start over again, right.......I dunno if Ill be in,but I will be watching all that are, lol

Yes we go thru the last full week in Dec--last time to post 2015 scores will be Dec 26. Then the next week we start over again with a score of 0 for the new year--the first time to post for 2016 will be Jan 2.

 

I have not had much luck recording and keeping up with my inventory. I've tried it written in a notebook and on ravelry. I do ok for a while and then start forgetting to mark off what yarns I used up. I sort of know in a general sense what I have, but if I start digging for a color I often find something I've forgotten I had.

 

I look at my score of -95 and know that's a lot of yarn coming in because it's definitely being used up, too.

 

Holy Cow, I got curious while typing this and went thru my calendar counting my positives---+191. So that means -286 to end of with -95 now. That's 143 skeins in this year and 95 out.

So far i am in the negative. I have received two separate packages of yarn. 10 skeins in all. Did manage to roll a partial skein into a ball. Hoping to get out of the whole before posting my final scores.

 

-19 so far.

-2 bought a skein of scrubby today for my aunt--only one color in stock.

I'm going to knitting retreat this weekend and they are collecting yarn to go to Haiti. So I dug through and bagged up 40 skeins...+80.

 

I'm posting early since tomorrow will be busy and I may not have a chance to get on line this weekend.

 

WTD +79

 

Great evening at the retreat. Made two hats and used up a ball...+1
