I haven't posted in 2 weeks, nothing used anyway, but my YTD was + 68 (it doesn't change the winners). I finally used enough to count. Rolled 2 skeins down and used 2 balls :cheer (+ 4) . On the 10th I went to my grand-niece's 1st birthday party (she was born Sept. 8, '15). She really liked the crocheted doll I made, she squeezed it so much, I thought it would get all out of shape :lol .  I'll try to get here more often.

WTD: + 4  YTD: + 72

Glad to have you in the group, ambiekraftsreads! The first post will tell you all about this group and how to count your yarn going in and out. If you have any questions, just ask.

Glad to be here!! I used to be a part of this. My name was krazycrocheter.

WTD: +2, YTD: +111

 

This will be lower next week, as I just ordered 5 10g mini skeins (which i will count as balls) of a new yarn, some cotton merino for a shawl, some baby merino to try out, and 3 skeins of yarn for those fair isle socks I've been wanting to be able to make for years. Yay birthdays!

Hi ambiekraftreads!  Welcome to the fun!!

 

OK so this week I started a double strand blanket and used up 2 skeins on that (+4), bought 96 skeins at the tent sale (-192), used 12 skeins of bernat blanket yarn (that only cost me $15 total!) and made a throw blanket (+24), and bought 6 skeins for a project (-12). I also started a Batman logo blanket, the first of 3 that I'm making for a trio of siblings whose father is a Marine and the whole family is getting relocated to Japan after Christmas but I haven't finished any skeins on that yet.

Well, being in the hospital from Tuesday night to Thursday evening, I didn't get as much crochet'ing done this week as I would have liked, however, MIL did need some blue and red yarn and since neither of us could drive Friday, she came & got a couple skeins from me, so there's a +4 for that. I finished off a skein of Orange on another pumpkin hat/diaper cover set, along with a small ball of brown and another small ball of green. So 

 

+8 for the week. I would have been more I think however, I forgot to take yarn with me to the ER, because I didn't think they would keep me Tuesday night, and when Hubby brought the kids to visit me Wednesday evening, I didn't think to have him bring me any. Which is a plus, because I don't think I'd have gotten much done due to having surgery early Wednesday morning & being out of it due to anesthesia and pain meds Wednesday. Thursday, I could definitely have used some yarn because I was feeling better, however, they had me up walking around more so I could actually leave that evening. 

 

I'll just go ahead and leave my score here for this week because I've just taken some meds & I think I'll be heading to bed soon. 

WTD; +8

I made 2 white hats, a stuffed ghost, 20 pumpkin pins and a stuffed spider, so I used 2 balls, some scraps of green and rolled down skein (+ 3). I'm at my parents tonight and we're giving them a 60th anniversary party tomorrow, so no :crocheting tonight, only games with mom and my sis.
