[itzhunic]

I busted a skein making 12" squares for CroShay's Cancer Charity.

+2 wtd for me

[Krystal16]

Wound a pounder into a teeny tiny little ball. I would have liked to finish it up, but considering I was on the LAST row of the afghan, I was thrilled that I didn't run out! I was worried for a bit!

 

+1

We could always have the winner :laughrollof shoot the moon award to do the next weeks total LOL:rofl

[basjordan]

I finished a skein on the shawl I'm working on. +2 for my WTD. -128 for my YTD. I wonder if I can keep from buying yarn long enough to get back to 0 in my YTD this year????

 

Probably not.:yarn:yarn:yarn:yarn

[Krystal16]

Just rolled a partial pounder into a ball, so +1 more.

[hseger]

Well I busted 2 skeins today but my parents got here tonight and my Mom informed me she has a box of yarn in the trunk for me don't know how much it is yet I'll have to add it up tomorrow. so +4 for now

[econ-nerd]

Busted one skein plus rolled another into a ball +3 so far for the week

[walker1021]

Back from a week's vacation. Took hook and yarn with me, but never had the opportunity to pick it up. Will see what yarn can be busted thru this week to make up for last week.

Great job everyone, mostly positives last week. Although I finished most of 3 hats over the weekend I didn't get any points yet, but I am very close on a few. My new goal is to have all 6 of my big project totes full by fall for craft shows/farmer's market sales. This means that there is a lot of crocheting to do.

 

I did sprain my ankle Friday night which meant that I had a great excuse to sit and crochet all night. Sadly I wasn't able to do that all weekend or I would be working toward my first medal this year.

[itzhunic]

appy lover, sorry about your ankle. hope it's not too painful and heals real fast!

 

finished another skein late last night and rolled a very stubborn skein of knots into a big ball this morning +3 added to score = +5 wtd

[Ellie 13]

Of the 4 skeins of yarn I'm using, 2 are pounders and 2 are 8 oz. (old RH). I a lot over the weekend and got to roll the 8 oz.'s (+2) . The 1 pounders are taking forever to use up. By the time I finish this afghan, 1 of the pounders will only 1/2 used (rolled), but the background color should be used by Sat. I just hope I don't need to get more.

WTD Score: + 2

[appy_lover]

Thanks itzhunic, it is getting better, but it is going to be a long healing process I think.

[hseger]

Ok let me see if I can keep this all straight.

 

I got 12 huge cones of various size yarns from my Mom for -24,

bought 2 skeins of "I love this Cotton" today for -4

 

total -28

 

I used 3 skeins +6 and I have +22 points in skeins of yarn to send out

 

total +28

 

= 0

[DreamsOfYarn]

Back from Florida and am back to crocheting.

Busted a skein making squares and busted a cone of cotton making a seat cover.

+4

[Krystal16]

OK... I lost the bet, but I have a REALLY good excuse for buying yarn! (No, really)

 

I came upon a HUGE lot (184 skeins) of awesome yarn-snob yarns (never used anything for acrylic) that I just had to buy. I'm SHARING some of it... because I am that kind of generous, so my points WILL go back... (not all of them). I unloaded all of this from a lady that just wanted it OUT OF THERE... and it was beautiful!

 

(BTW, if anyone needs Fat Quarters, yards and such for quilting, let me know... I've got a CONNECTION for you)...

 

So, 184 labeled skeins

6 unlabeled skeins

9 balls of yarn...

= 190x2 + 9 = 389 points I need to deduct...

 

Minus the 4 points I have in my WTD, and that leaves me with a WTD of -385

 

Where's NGHT when you need her?

[Schmetterling]

Krystal, I have been stalking ebay for fat quarters! I just started sewing the last couple of weeks, you may have seen my recent post or two. Anyway if you can please send me a PM and share the place/person who know of?

[KellyA]

Michaels (another one) had additional/different yarn on clearance

So I back in the negatives again for this week

Purchased 10 skeins = -20, busted a skein and rolled a ball

So far this week I am at -17 ......

Please no more Michaels

[hseger]

I busted a wee little skein yesterday for a +2

[itzhunic]

Krystal your score had me looking like this

 

rolled :yarn:yarn:yarn:yarn:yarn small balls and boxed up 9 skeins of "funky" yarn to RAOK someone.

 

so the total added to my +5 score is 24 leaving my WTD +29

I'm busy making any size teal squares for CandEsMom, 12" squares for Croshay's cancer awareness blankets, and Circles Of Hope for Angelfire, so I'm hoping to bust some skeins by Saturday on these quick projects.

 

Next week's scores will be from working on baby clothes, baby blanket, and a shawl.

DH just got off duty and is sleeping so I'm sharing with you.

5.1oz ball-royal blue

+1

[Ellie 13]

I found a partial (1/3?) skein of white and rolled it (+1). I think I'll have enough white to finish the afghan now. A friend wanted yarn for her grandmother's knitting group. I gave her a pounder of tan, a skein RH light blue and 3 balls dark blue (+7). I should have more points by Sat.

WTD Score: + 10

Ellie 13

[Krystal16]

I sent out 57 skeins of yarn today, so I can add 114 points back to my score.

[lpgeorge123]

Back to working on the afghan, and another skein gone. +2
