YIPPEE! I made gold

 

Now let's see if I can make gold in the Greek Games by finishing the afghan.

ME?? Shoot The Moon Award??? WOW!! Truthfully, I have always been trying for gold, silver or bronze. But I will take what ever award I can get! lol

Now I am on a mission to get my YTD to atleast -200 in the next month. Next week I will let someone else try for Shooting at the Moon. Any takers????:yarn:yarn

Thank you Thank You:bow

Aiming to get the Gold for this coming week. So far I am going strong. Watching the olympics last night I pulled out a bunch of small balls and made up some granny squares. Then I threw a few of the small balls away. Not sure what type of yarn they were, but they weren't anything I could work with (not even sure how i acquired them lol)

Congrats on getting thru a whole ball of thread. :applauseThat is an accomplishment in itself!

I had a long car ride, and time to sit so I made 2 scarves over the weekend, for a big booming +8. They were both from stuff that had been sitting in my stash...yeah!

It was a tax free weekend here in MA, so I did some shopping Sat. before the concert (bought no yarn ). I made 2 Christmas stockings going to/from and while waiting to see KC and The Sunshine Band. A man at the concert gave me $5 for a stocking . Sun. I made 1 more stocking. I used 5 balls (+5) this weekend . Now I only have full skeins of red, green, white and 1/2 skein of some Christmas yarn (called Candy Cane ?) left. It'll be a while before I finish those.

WTD Score: + 5

Random Acts Of Kindness. Some where at the beginning of the forum there's a list of all the abbreviations. I was confused in the beginning too.

 

I guess this is getting off topic, but thank you Ellie and Linda for clarifying RAOK.

 

Alas:(, The FAQ "Terms & Acronyms: Everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask" falls far short of "all the abbreviations." The only one that I didn't know from that very short list was WIM. No RAOK, RR, or saltine. Maybe that isn't the list you are talking about?

 

Nuf said. The weather has changed from :sweatto :stormand . Horrible for gardening, but perfect for returning to and busting that stash!

I think I can bust at least 1 skein every day this week. Does anyone else think they can meet or beat that?

 

I busted a skein today. My wtd is +4. My YTD is -182.

[hseger]

Marzee Saltines is a pretty new term started by the quilt making people in the Every Happy house CAL! Feel free to ask anything, there are no silly questions around here.

 

Well I finally busted that neverending ball of thread for +2 now I'm starting another one

Starting this week's numbers on the low side....

Used up another 2 and 3/4 skeins of yarn on the Greek Games Afghan...it's finally finished!

 

 

WTD = +5 YTD = +160

[dragonpuck]

seem to be making a purchase every time i use up a skein , but i guess it's better than being in the hole:D

WTD = 0

[basjordan]

I finished a skein yesterday. :hookThis brings my WTD to +6, and my YTD to -180.

Lynn - You are doing good if you are only buying one skein for every one skein you use up. Now if you start buying 3 to 1, that's when the trouble begins. lol:devil

[itzhunic]

my hand is taking soooooo long to heal

 

I couldn't wait any longer so I have been working very slowly but steadily to crochet anyway because I am going to get this afghan done to donate for my son's band silent auction.

 

Last night I finished up 2 more skeins and now I will let my hand get un-swollen again before I attempt the last 2 skeins.

Is this what they mean by a labor of love?

WTD +4

[appy_lover]

Busted yet another skein last night! That puts me at +10 for the week, and -128 for the year. Yeah! I am headed back from the dark side.

[Ellie 13]

In the last 2 weeks I've made 6 Christmas stockings and sold 2 . My full skeins (7 oz.) are going down slowly. I might use enough to get more points by Sat. I was told I should be making Halloween stuff, not stockings. I don't have any orange or black though. I might have to get some if I get an "official" request for Halloween stuff .

Been working off of cones and pounders and those take forever to get through. I grabbed a skein of cotton today and made dishcloths, so I finally have busted a skein.

+2

[CLLinda]

Finally busted a skein this week. Just no real time to crochet!

 

 

[basjordan]

I busted a skein today, but went to two yarn stores with my crochet buddies tonight. I was Soooooo good at the first store, but found exactly what I wanted for another round ripple at the second. I bought 8 skeins. I still think I was good. There was so much beautiful yarn calling me....
