A long tiring day and I did three balls, so that's a +3. Which is awesome!

Another +1 for a scrap stash ball!

Does donating yarn count? I just got my Crochet World magazine, and a gal in there needed yarn. I'm sending her a box of yarn, 12 full skeins, and 1 partial.

Well, drats. I was doing so well but then I needed to buy some yarn/thread for some designs that I need to finish this week. So, while I finished another ball of thread last night for plus 2 points, I bought 6 balls today for negative 12 which gives me a total of -1o to add to (opps...I mean minus from) my score. I will use most of it today though...so I should be good. "should be"...

I decided to make a hat/scarf set for my mom for Christmas to go with her afghan.....my mom loves any type of novelty yarn (eyelash, fuzzy, furry, etc) and I had some in my stash....I used up 2 full skeins and made 2 balls so +6 for me.....off to update my siggy.....

Ebay order came in, so my week has started out poorly.

25 skeins. -50...argh....

Used 4 skeins yesterday. +8

[krazy-kitty]

Had to throw away 4 full cones, 2 full balls, and 10 partial balls, as they were left in the garage when we moved and have been water damaged and smell really musty. Was gonna use it to make my sister an afghan, will have to see what I have got left in my stash.

So, thats +22

[Lavelle26]

I finished a ball of yarn so that is +2 for me. (it was a sugar and cream ball...full one) I am gonna try to get back in the black today.

[angelfire]

I used up 3 balls making more donation squares and Circles of Hope for a total of 10 so far this week.

 

 

9:30 pm I used 5 more balls tonight making preemie hats and socks so now my total for the week is 15

[Krystal16]

I finished off another ball last night making scrap squares.. +1 for me!

[Bizzyboppers]

Mom decided that I needed to make more shrugs for her, so I've been blessed with 8 more skeins of yarn from her. Then 3 more came in the mail that I needed for something else. Another -22.

Currently working on about a bazillion projects. Hopefully one of them will start producing some points in the RIGHT direction for a change.

[Lavelle26]

Not good. Not good at all. I had to buy two more balls/skeins today. So that is negative 4 for me giving me a total so far of -7. But I WILL get it back by the end of the week. I just HAVE to!!!!

[Bizzyboppers]

It's one step forward- one skein down +2

And two steps back- needed white -2

[hseger]

I finally got through a ball of cotton. +1 more point.

[scc51055]

seems no matter how much i work, i am not going anywhere still at a big fat zero for the week!

[Nght]

I've used a full skein of cotton and a bunch of acrylic partials (but didn't finish them) for a few FBB's in the last few days. I'm waiting for the closures & handles to come, so I just keep making more until I can finish them

So just +2 so far. Geeeeeeeez, seems like it should be more than that!

Well, this week, I got the 6 skeins of Caron Simply Soft for a bolero for my sister. The original pattern is at Diane Langan's site. Since I've never used any of her patterns, and the free one was almost what I wanted (I shortened the sleeves), I'm using it. It called for 18 oz, but I'm on the last sleeve and am only on my 3rd 3 oz skein. I figured I'd use less with the shorter sleeves, but didn't want to run short!

I have to finish it today, the graduation my sister wanted it for is tonight. I do want to email Diane Langan, the pattern goes from one row with 48 sts, to the next row with one decrease at each end for only 42 sts. When I followed the rest of the rows, I was supposed to end up with 'x' number, but was 2 or 3 rows short, so I think she forgot to add a repeat instruction. Found my mistake...stitch count is still off (48-2 is still not 42)...but *I* missed a repeat further along. Right number of rows! Rather than rip...I ended up with 4 sts more than I needed but it doesn't seem to affect anything.

I'll post a pic when I'm finished if I remember to take one before it leaves my house!
