I was strong and stayed home from the yarn shop today!  🤣

I didn't use up anything, as I'm still slogging away on the projects, so:

I haven't been here since April 2nd, 0 points last week anyway. This week I used 3 more of the small balls (+3). I'm running low on pins, so I'll put magnets on the flowers instead of pins. Who knows, maybe they'll be a hit. I've been working hard on my diet/exercise and lost a pound  . I still have to lose another 7 to 10 before July.

I made some flower magnets and pocket prayer shawls and used 4 balls (+ 4)  . A co-worker saw the stuffed bunnies I made for easter and wants 2 brown ones. I think I only have enough brown for 1 so I'm going through all my stash to find more. I might have to get more  . I started on the ears, feet and arms but no  used.

I was at the yarn shop, but was strong!  We all sat around knitting and crocheting and gabbing. A good friend tried to tempt me by saying that yarn you buy and immediately use for a project doesn’t count as stash…  🤣🤣🤣

I didn't use up skeins AGAIN, as I'm still slogging away on the projects, so:

A friend of mine wanted a pink baby hat with flowers for a baby shower Fri. night. I made 2 styles and told her to pick 1. I used 2 balls  (+2)  . I went to Michael's on Wed. to get ribbon and a skein of brown  for the bunnies (- 2)  . So, I broke even this week  .

I was hoping to get a skein done, but no dice.  Perhaps next week!  Sadly, I've discovered that I grossly miscalculated with the sweater.  It's WAY too small for my spouse, so it's going to have to be my sweater, and I'm going to just have to make another one before Christmas.  The issue is that the gauge swatch was vastly different than doing the multicolors, which make the stitches draw in, so the whole thing is smaller. I was going to rip it out, but I'm too far gone at this point.   

WTD +0  YTD +6

Pam, glad you'll be able to wear the sweater but so disappointing that the gauge wasn't right. I always have problems with gauge so I stick to scarves and blankets and rarely venture into clothes. Gauge takes the fun out of crocheting for me.

I’m almost done with a skein, but not quite! I visited the yarn store today, and we all worked on projects outside, which was just wonderful!  Love this time of year!

I'm back. I had computer problems. Only had 1 point since I was here last time. I worked 6 days and was too tired to  , but I got the bunnies done anyway. I'm working 6 days next week too (more $$ for ). Now I have to make butterflies for a co-worker, but I can use scrap  for them.

I returned a skein...+2.

Still slogging away on the projects, so no new skeins used up!  On a different topic, I tried to look for some supplies and our local Michael’s and Walmart has next to NOTHING in the way of a variety of yarn and needles and hooks.  Does anyone find this, or is this our area alone that has this issue?  (I’m in northern CT)

Only Walmarts anywhere close to me and the yarn variety and quantities vary greatly from store to store around here.
