I haven't been here since Thanks Giving. I've been making wreath pins and squares for a prayer shawl. I used up 2 small balls of green (+ 2) :cheer , but I sold all my pins and had to get more :yarn. I got 1 small skein (- 2) :sigh . I made 11 squares, but the pounder doesn't seem to be getting any smaller :shrug . I got my Christmas bonus Wed.  :yay (I'll try not to spend it on :yarn  :lol ).

Hi all!!  This week I made 8 beanies for my girl's Christmas stockings (2 per kid). I also made 4 other beanies that were supposed to be for the baby but all were too small so I'll be giving them to a few of the mommas at church who have daughters smaller then my 10 month old for their girls lol. So that completes everything I needed to make for Christmas!!  I have decided to make a Bavarian stitch blanket for my neighbor (the one who just lose her husband) it's her first Christmas without her husband and I invited her to join our family for our Christmas Eve celebration. I want her to have something to open that will make her smile, but I don't honestly know enough about her personal interests to get her something. I'm stashbusting for this blanket though! I grabbed all the random skeins I have and a bunch of cream so I'm alternating color, cream, color, cream until I run out of yarn or time! No clue how big this thing is going to wind up being!

 

All together I used a total of 26 balls and 4 skeins!

Jessie, I would love to see your blanket when it's done. That's a pretty stitch. I'm working on a blanket now where every other row is the bpdc shell, in a yarn that changes colors.

 

I sympathize with the draw of yarn, MalisaMeesa and Holly. It's hard to pass up good deals. I have negatives in my future. I caught RH's flash sale when they still had some holiday yarn in stock.....10 skeins maybe next week.

Here's what I've got so far on the Bavarian blanket I'm making for my neighbor. I've finished reds and I'm working on blues now. I still have pinks, purples & greens to go!

Wound 4 balls, finished 1, so

 

WTD: +5 YTD: +74

 

I don't know yet how I'm going to finish the year here, we are leaving for Uganda next Saturday, so obviously we won't have much internet there. Can I just post my year scores next Friday, assuming I won't get any higher scores?

Hi all!! I can't believe how fast this year has gone! I swear it feels like it should only by July to me...

 

So this week I made 10 messy bun/pony tail hats. I swore I was not going to jump on this bandwagon but a friend informed me she NEEDED one in her life and it kind of snowballed from there...on the upside, of those 10 I'm getting paid for 5 of them so that's a good thing. I also made 3 AKA colored scarves that a church friend ordered to give to family members as Christmas gifts. And I returned an extra skein of yarn that I wound up not needing to make those scarves...but I also bought yarn for these orders, as everyone wanted specific colors and I didn't have those colors in my stash....purchased a total of 9 skeins (-18) but used up 3 skeins (+6) and 18 balls (+18)

 

WTD: +6

YTD: +94

I finished a blanket last night, except for some end-weaving. I finished up a couple of skeins and I have several skeins that will get rolled into small balls this week, but that will probably the only score for this coming week.

 

WTD: +4 YTD: -89
