I'm still crocheting but I don't think my score will change so here goes:

 

WTD = +7

YTD = +11

[bnhall]

I used up one skein this week but just bought four more today because I started two new projects. I so want to be in the positive. My WTD score is -6. My YTD score is -12. This does not bode well for me.

Hey Mindy,,are you actually trying to crochet, read AND carry on a life all at once !!! I'm really impressed. I cant seem to find time to read now... Im obsessively crocheting and knitting -- and hanging out here :rofl

I did make a resolution to get thru a book a month. We'll see how that goes.

So... I've been plugging away at my scrapghan and managed to clean out my stash, getting rid of all that Freecycled that I haven't touched or thought about in years... Here's the math:

 

GAVE AWAY

18 skeins @ 2pts = 36 pts

48 balls @ 1pt = 48 pts

 

USED

1 skein= 2 pts

balls, balls to skeins= 8pts

 

WTD = 94pts

 

Disclaimer: This is a fluke. I just happened to have all this yarn that I'm not using so I used the CAL as an excuse to Freecycle like a crazy person. Besides, I know I'm going to be buying yarn soon and I needed to get my totals up!! And no, I didn't count the ball that has run away.

 

SORRY I WAS A FEW MINUTES LATE!!! It would have been on time, but I kept getting confused on my math... I obviously need to figure this whole thing out on Excel or something...

[LegalWoman17]

I was just cmoing in to post my score, but see that I missed the deadline. My apologies. See my signature for my score.

I did make a resolution to get thru a book a month. We'll see how that goes.

 

I've discovered the joys of audiobooks, which seriously help with the reading while crocheting problem. If I hadn't found audiobooks, I would have come up with some other way....like using fishing line and small weights to hold a book open while I crochet.... . But then, how would I turn the pages????

 

As far as carrying on a life goes, work cuts into a lot of my creative time. But once I go home, my time is mine. I'm single, and the only roomie I have is my dog, so it's a peaceful existence. Well, most of the time, anyway. LOL

[coolhockeymom]

My score this week it +74

[laughlovehook]

I updated post 613 with the 2 people who posted. I'll wait a bit later to post next weeks scores. CONGRATS EVERYONE ON A GREAT WEEK!!!!

[HappyOldCro]

From the moon to third place...boy I really busted my buns this week. Current project is from scratch with an 11 oz skein, won't be doing much numbers for a few days, unless I throw in a couple of small projects, and figure out how to work with those yo yos....

Congrats to everyone, I know we all tried real hard...back to my shawl now...

[donnalynn2]

Boy, I was in 3rd place last week (or something like that) and this week I'm lost in the middle! I need to work harder on managing my stash to stay in this thing!

 

Actually, I think this next week will be good because I am gifting some yarn to a friend of mine and I'm also giving some yarn to 2 lovely Crochetviller's who tested a pattern for me back in November as a thank you! WOO-HOO! Not only will I get rid of some more yarn to make more room for new but I'll improve my score!!!!!!

 

Congrats everyone!!!!!

[Super Granny]

Sorry everybody.. I had a massive headache and went to sleep for awhile...

 

WTD... +54 YTD... + 87

[isserlie]

OK, just call me dense, but I am confused again. How do you count a wonder ball? Is it when you actually crochet it, and then it just counts as one ball? (even thought you may have used 5 balls to make it?) Or do you consider the scraps as part of the original skein that was used and take the point before hand? Not that it really matters, I was just curious as to how it would be counted.

 

Ummmmmm What is a wonder ball:think

Well, you would just yo, put hook into next stitch, use the end of the hook to turn the page, yo and pull through, then continue crocheting LOL!!!

[JennyBunny]

Argh, didn't get on the computer on time! Not that I would have won anything, but I note I'm not on the listings at all...

 

Anyways, finished up another skein tonight so another +2.

 

Final score: WTD: +8, YTD: +18

[tee-dee]

No change for me this week with the baby being born and all! Also, was unable to get my score up in time with family wanting to come meet the new baby:c9
