greyhoundgrandma Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Fixing to go crochet for a while but there won't be a change in my score. WTD -14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PBLKNP Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I managed to use up skeins this week working on my Seaside Striped Afghan and my other afghan. I also resisted the urge to buy any skeins at the Knitting in Public event today at our LYS. The store recently opened back up. You have to wear a mask and socially distance (only 2 customers in the store at a time), but it was wonderful to see my knitting and crocheting friends again! We all sat outside with our projects 6’ apart and chatted for hours. WTD +6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TexasPurl Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 I used up a couple skeins on blocks for a community blanket & finished out a cone of Sugar 'n Cream on Mom's dishcloths. Nothing came in this week.WTD +6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Inkked0317 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 This week I've made a baby blanket, a car seat cover, a hat, and started a second blanket. Used up 4 skeins. WTD +8 YTD +99 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

greyhoundgrandma Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Ellie, your garden sounds great! What kind of beans? We have tomatoes, eggplant, squash and red bell peppers. Lots of blooms but nothing to harvest yet. I dreamed last night that I finished up some skeins. Does that count?!?! LOL 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TexasPurl Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 I used up a little bit this week. I finished out some cotton yarn on a dishcloth & the last of some thread. Better than nothing I think!WTD +4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PBLKNP Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Well, I used up 2 skeins with one afghan, but then today I got a shipment in from Annie’s Attic for the Striped Afghan, so: WTD = -2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PBLKNP Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Oh, no...again!!! I’ll make a not to do the totals next week! I’m probably going to be in the running to shoot the moon NEXT week, too, as we had a “socially-distant” visit today from my stepdaughter, her hubby, and the grandchildren. It was lovely to see them (from 6’ away), but she’s been having trouble with her wrists and carpel tunnel, so she’s decided to give up crocheting for now. She just gave me 6 skeins of yarn! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My peppers are green and purple (yes, it's a thing). Lots of buds but the only thing really blooming is the rose bush. 5 beautiful roses and I counted 7 more buds so far . A co-worker liked my face mask and wanted one and now others are asking, so I'm making them now. I'm using the Sugar & Cream cotton left over from the pot holders and passport/wallet neck purses I made. I used 3 balls and a skein (+ 5) . It only counts if you wake up and the is gone .

PBLKNP Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I'm probably going to post the scores around 10:30 tomorrow morning. I was doing well until my step-daughter came by our place and dropped off yarn! She's been suffering from carpel tunnel, so she can't crochet for a while. I feel badly for her...but I got more yarn... So, I'm at WTD = -10, and YTD = -54 I believe this is the week we have to post our YTD scores as well? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

greyhoundgrandma Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I'm on the last two rounds of Jay's blanket but will have to make something else to use up all the yarn. No crochet time today. We have a double birthday pool party at noon. Hopefully any rain will hold off til later in the day. WTD 0 HAPPY 4TH! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
