Yes - where you choose the font size, none of your fonts can use a size larger than 3.

 

I rolled a POUNDER into a teeny tiny ball last night. I've got to figure out a use for that little ball, I want that last point!

 

Got it, thanks!!!!

I used up a ball and rolled a skein (+ 2). I thought I only had a large tub of pink yarns, but I found a small tub of blue and purple yarns. I think I'll make squares now that I have more colors to work with. I don't like working in only 1 color (or shades of one color), it gets boring. Unless someone requests it, I don't do it.

WTD Score: 9

I'm finally back online. Between moving and the 2 days of real bad storms, I did get some crocheting done.

Busted 4 skeins so far for +8

[Schmetterling]

I used another skein today on my camisole.

[basjordan]

The tiny skeins go a lot faster than the super savers or pounders. I finished another one. This brings my WTD to -28, and my YTD to -39. I finished my silky, soft eyelash scarf. Now to try for a matching hat.

Been looking almost forever for a pattern for my Blue Brilliant yarn, found one last night and started working on it. 1 skein down for a +2

5:

77yd ball-myrtle green

4.2oz-warm brown

+2

[clocke]

I got one and a half balls used up this week. So that's +3 .

[walker1021]

I got it all my stash into 1 large plastic tub . I've got mostly pinks and a lot of Christmas yarns. I used 2 skeins making 2 baby afghans and 3 balls making turtles and flowers (+7). Nobody wants anything in pink anymore . If any one here needs pink, just say so and it's yours . A.C. Moore is has RHSS - $1.99 and Caron pounders - $ 4.99. I think cotton is on sale too . I might be tempted, because I have to get stems for the flowers.

WTD Score: + 7

Congratulations Ellie!! I can only dream of the day that all my stash wil fit in one big plastic tote. Until then, I will keep plugging away at the stash on hand.

[Krystal16]

I have finished up the ball of suede on my bear claw afghan +1 more!!!

[Schmetterling]

I finished my camisole/tank today, using up 1/2 skein and rolling it into a little ball for 1.

[hseger]

I had to buy 2 skeins yesterday to replace the 2 that didn't match what I was working with so -4 more. oh well next week will be back to busting again.

[lpgeorge123]

I haven't been crocheting anything lately. I just can't get myself in the mood to do it for some reason. +0

[slksnell]

Finished the baby blanket last night and rolled the last 2 reamining colors into balls +2

 

Score for this week is: -5

[itzhunic]

I've felt better the past couple days in I can't remember how long.

Got up early on my own and crocheted up a storm before the family arose.

Used 2 balls :yarn for charity squares and finished a skein for the edging on shawl and matching lapghan. +4 sig updated

WTD +15

[Krystal16]

Might make some more points today, but not sure... WTD: +5

[hseger]

I probably won't make anymore headway with points today so just in case I'm going to go ahead and post.....

 

 

-9 WTD

[Ankh]

I got a care package from my secret pal with yarn in oh wait that means my score goes down oh well I got more pretty purple yarn so it all balances out

-21 WTD

-18 YTD

[HappyOldCro]

Another gentle (but pushy ) reminder. It is saturday and scores are due in by midnight, in your text (not just siggy line) in BOLD, BIG, COLORFUL digits.

Thank You.

 

As for me 1 more skein of Brilliant gone. +2.

 

WTD +3 YTD +348

[CLLinda]

Thanks for the reminder, HappyOldCrochet! We appreciate you doing this for us.

 

I worked on a small wreath yesterday and part of my afghan, so I give myself +5 for the week

 

I may get more done tonight but then I may forget to post. The guys are going to the sox game and I am going to the beach for a little relaxation. Watching the waves and crocheting is very peaceful. Whatever I get done, I will just post for next week. It will be a busy week because I am running the nursery for VBS again.

WTD=+5 YTD=+87

 

My goal is to break 100 by September!

 

I know it's not a huge score this week, but at least, it's in the positive.

 

Have a good week, everyone.

 

[darski]

And I have a new pattern that comes from my celebration of using up some skeins finally.

 

Yes... even pounders come to an end if you make enough doll clothes.

This week + 4

 

This year -90

[walker1021]

Slow but steady...

Weekly Total +2

[yarn_monkey]

At least I started off on a good foot, even though I still wound up in the negatives. I used up 4 skeins and a ball (+9), but then I wound up buying 7 for my afghan (-14), so for the week I'm at...

 

 

WTD= -5

I don't think I'll see positives again until after I finish this 'ghan!

[LegalWoman17]

Not much to report this week. A mere +6. But it's better than nothing.

[Needle Arts]

Last week was out of town and this week trying to catch up on household duties. Have been working on several projects but not completing full skeins.

 

WTD: 0 YTD: 29
