[loopy1]

Addey, they look great! I love the color! What is it?

Psstt... you can tell her any color you want ..she's color blind:P

Hey, I'm curious! Would you be so kind as to explain the Yarn Addict Score? Maybe I can start one of those! I need to.

 

 

There is a CAL for yarn addicts. It is the opposite of the Stash Busting CAL. We get 2 points for each skein of yarn we buy, and 1 skein for each ball of yarn.

Here is the link to the thread. Come and join us. The more, the merrier

I've been calling it teal, but I can't find the wrapper so I'm not sure what the 'official' color name is. It's a sligtly darker color in reality than my blue ipod nano.

:lol too funny!!

My guess is the color is teal, because that is the color mentioned in her post

Pssst! Lea's baaaaaaad! Isn't that mean of her to say that about my disability? I am horrified!

 

Let's see...lookin' for smilies...definitely NOT happy smilies!

 

Oh, well, think I'll go !

Hehe You're right.. But like I said, I can't find the wraper so I'm not sure if that's the "official" name of the color or not. I like it and am glad I found something to actually use it for.

What brand of thread is it? I am using Royale and I have a color that looks just like yours, and it is teal.

[Oh..please come play again with us one needlers ! the CAl is no fun with out you!!!!!! I would never on purpose hurt a hair on your head!!!

[loopy1]

Don't forget! Save your wrappers and STUFF 'EM IN THE CORE! Then you'll always know the exact color. Take that tip from a color blind woman! PARTIALLY color blind woman!

I believe it is Royale, since that's what JoAnn's carries usually. So, I guess it is actually teal and I wasn't just making it up.

I got mine at JoAnn's too! Plus I found some at Michael's.

Sorry loopy, I just couldn't resist that one. I'll go in my corner and have my time out now.

I've bought thread there too. My JoAnn's has a MUCH bigger selection of yarns and stuff in general (and is right across the street from Michael's) so that's where I usually buy stuff these days.

Did you know JoAnn's has Caron one pounders for $4.00 a skein this week? I have gotten 8 so far, and I'm going back for more tomorrow:)

I wish you hadn't told me that.......... I need to buy some anyhow for my FIL's afghan I'm making him for his birthday in October. I guess I have to decide on colors now....

Oh well... I'm off for the night. gonna work on little bear clothes for my niece for her b-day in April.

Do you keep getting logged off? Here's another tip! Learnt this one from Amy hersef! When you sign in, click "Remember Me". It's not like remember me on other sites. This one just keeps you from having to sign back in again. All's you gotta do is click the refresh button!

 

I love Caron yarn! Hobby Lobby has thread on sale this week...forget which kind and sizes. But I like the Royale, too.

 

Where's Brenda aka crochet_n_it? I know she was having some problems earlier with her can pants. Hope she got 'em corrected!

[loopy1]

Night, night, Addey!

[crochet_n_it]

Well, I think I've got it but my beginning of each round looks a little wonky. I'm ending up with the right number of V's and dc's in each round though. Here it is: :yay

 

 

Question: do you ladies weave in the ends at color changes as you go? I noticed that in crochet, vs knitting, the loose end slips and makes a noticeable gap that I keep tightening.

[AlyBlu]

I am all caught up!

[DreamsOfYarn]

I have never done a color change in thread, so I'm not sure of the answer to that.

 

When I change colors while using yarn, I pull the two colors tight, make a half knot, then weave in the ends one way, then the other.

[DreamsOfYarn]

Loopy, I learned the 'remember me' trick all by myself. I was reading different things here on the forum and stumbled upon that one.

 

Thanks for posting that tip too!
