Thanks Greyhound grandma I'm really trying to get this as you can see math was not my thing...🤔

No problem. It really doesn't take too long to get the hang of it.

I've hardly gotten any crocheting in lately. I'm struggling with an angry shoulder AND some mild carpal tunnel, so I'm trying to listen to my hand. Most days if I can do 50 stitches before it hurts, it's a good day. So it will be a long time before I use anything up!

[greyhoundgrandma]

Holly, I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. Definitely listen to our body and don't overdo.

[pineknott]

hope it gets better real soon Holly

I'm cleaning out a cabinet and found some yarn. Threw away 3 snarled skeins and rolled one into a ball....+7.

[PBLKNP]

Wow, bronze medal!  I’m hoping to use up a few more skeins this week. Still trying to determine who to give the afghan to. This evening I have a small helper.

I haven't been here since March 19th. I forgot a few times and I also had computer problems. I'm back. For a while I didn't do much . The last couple of weeks I used a ball and 2 skeins of white and rolled down a skein of brown (+ 6)  . I made a over 20 bunny pins and 4 stuffed bunnies (3 white and 1 brown). I need to get more pins, eyes and pom-poms. I hope to get 2 more stuffed bunnies and more pins done before Easter.

WTD: + 6   YTD: + 32

I got the material for the next three stripes of the Annie's kit, so....-6.

I worked this afternoon on the two homework pieces for an on line class Wed and Thurs nights (Oops How do I fix that), but no skeins used up.

[Ellie 13]

It was very busy at the market with the holiday rush so not much time. I did make 1 more stuffed bunny and some bunny pins though. I rolled a skein down (+1). Yesterday, I took the bus/subway to my parents for Easter weekend. I made a baby hat during the trip, another hat and 2 pocket prayer shawls after lunch (parents nap time ). I used 2 balls (+2). My mom and I are going shopping today. If I see , who knows what my score will be tonight.

WTD: + 3   YTD: + 35

This week I have been working on a bag project start off with a new skein.. frogged it three times roll the yarn back into a ball and start it again finally finished it 🙄.. still not impressed with pattern🤔... I haven't removed the stitch markers but here's a picture of it...

It's a granny square bottom bag...

WTD +2 but maybe a few more depending if we count the winding it up three times.

I like your colors. Glad it finally worked out. You are correct on the +2 for the skein used up. All the frogging and rerolling cancel themselves out.
