I was thinking today when I hubby told me I got 2 packages in the mail that the shoot the moon award was mine for sure. I opened one of the boxes and it was yarn I forgot I had ordered... so when I get 5 more skeins tomorrow, my score will definitely be big enough for shoot the moon. I've tried REALLY hard to use up some stash this week, but I've been knitting... and it takes forever to use up a skein when I knit.

[silvermoon42]

WooHoo! Finished another skein on my purse, and am nearing in on finishing that. So +2 for me!

[Lisaizme]

1 whole skein and two 1/2's used on comfortghan squares.. another +4 for the week..

 

Off to update my siggy.

[ScoobyDoo0811]

Well, I have been crocheting all week, and have only used 4 skeins lol. Seems like the more crocheting I do the less I use up. I have been making squares and have only used up 2 balls one today and one yesterday. I did get the ends weaved in on 20 squares, one scarf, and one Snuggle today . Weaving in ends is not my favorite thing to do, just glad that I got it done because it was beginning to pile up. So my scores now look like this:

 

wtd: +3 ytd: -18

[DreamsOfYarn]

Just busted through another skein. The end of the 2 strander is near!!!

+14

[hseger]

Thanks for the cheers! It was hard to put it back but I really didn't need it so I behaved. I really want to not get high negative scores this year.

 

I rolled a skein into a ball today and used up a tiny ball left over from earlier this week so another +2. I'm still way behind for my YTD though

[Nght]

Ok, so I finished 2 more full & 3 partials on WUA pieces... +7

Payment was made & I sent the cotton I had listed on ebay.. that's ummm.. ::coff:: 210 full skeins (the P&C weren't all full, but if you remember I counted them as full when I bought them, for ease) and 3 partial... for a total of +423

Don't worry, DH didn't say I couldn't order/buy more yarn!

[LegalWoman17]

A +2 for me -- used up a skein on my baby afghan and it is now finished.

[laurawithchild]

For those who were interested, I am posting a pic of my afghan in the home decor area. Oh yea, and started another afghan so will keep plugging away at the stash (which is getting smaller and smaller until saturday when i go blow my joann gift card! )

[Krystal16]

Now, now.... control yourself and keep in the positives!!!
