Received my yarn swap package last week. *cough* -12 *cough* Which brings my ytd to *cough* -19 *cough*

 

But that is good, because the yarn is sooooo preeeety! I will cuddle with it, and pet it, and sing to it.

I don't even look at those ads anymore. They really wreck my score when I do!

I would like to join, but I am a newbie, is that ok, ya'll might have to help me out on how to post my line though I not quite sure how to. I am working on two project that are using up alot of my stash. how would I count them I am using skeins and balls. haha that sounds funny.

You can add to your signature by going to the top of the screen, click user cp, and then signature on the left.

The rules are in the first post about how it works. You start counting your points now (don't go back and add the points from what you already have). When you use a skein, add 2 points, when you use a ball, add 1 point. When you turn a skein into a ball, add a point, and then when you use that up, it's one more point. Every time you buy a skein of yarn (or someone gives it to you) it's minus two points.

Good luck! I thought I'd have a super high score when I started - I'm making it back that direction!

[appy_lover]

Ok so my score for the week ending April 12 was -22

 

So far this week I am at 0, and I even went to wal-mart yesterday and got out without yarn. Yeah me :cheerI am also getting close to using up my first skein from last week's little purchasing fiasco yeah me again:cheer

[Krystal16]

Well, we must be doing SOMETHING right, because there are more of us above the line than below it!

 

Lisa - I can't figure out if your score was +20 for WTD or -60. You've got 3 numbers in your posting...

 

Also, Please remember to post your WTD scores in big bold letters IN YOUR POST. If you change your sig after the post (like if I'm late getting the scores), I won't know what your week was supposed to be.

Oops...I wasn't paying attention. Don't matter though, I am sewing together squares so I'm not using much of anything. I'm still at +3 YTD.

Should I be thrilled or cowering under the bed? I came in 2nd for the Shoot the Moon award , but that also means I got too much yarn last week. Trying real hard to stay in the positives this week. Must....work.....thru....this....stash.....

[CLLinda]

I did pretty good this past week. Finished 5th. Don't know how I will do this week.

 

Jiffy's on sale at HL. I'll try not to go there and stock up.

 

Really, I Will!

Made a doily & worked on a shawl & lap blanket,but didn't use up any balls or skeins.

[isserlie]

Well I didnt seem to have ordered enough green in the first place when I decided to do this 63 square afghan, soooooooooo

I ordered 3 more skeins of green, but I used up one so

 

WTD 0

YTD +7

 

at least its pretty

[laurawithchild]

Oh no! Another -14 today.......but at least its all for a good call! 7 skeins of homespun for the shawler and its going fast....nearly 1/2 way done the first skein already!

[Ellie 13]

I've been working 2 part time jobs so I didn't have time to do much . I'm almost done squares together. My rainbow skeins are down to 1/4 size and can to be rolled into balls. But, at 1 point each, I get + 6 . Does anyone else hate rolling floppy skeins into balls ? They always seem to get tangled at the end. Are they easier to work with not rolled ?

Score: WTD: + 6

[HappyOldCro]

Missed this past week, but no problem, I bought 5 skeins, used 5 skeins and wound up with a 0.

For the new week, I used 2 skeins, and received 6 lovely skeins today from a very generous fairy godmother, making me a -10 so far.

Depends on the type of yarn, I leave the fuzzy ones and bulkies as skeins, I roll up the worsted and sport and baby.

[Krystal16]

Rolled my first skein of suede into a ball. +1

[Nght]

I didn't place, I didn't place! Cuz we all know which end it would'a been on

 

So, I did finish that blankie, along with 2 more skeins for +4

Started another... this time the Aztec Sun ripple, which is why I bought that book anyway (almost a year ago!) Working on 4 skeins, but not finishing yet.

 

Also sent 5 bags of mill ends to Super Granny... forgot to count how many in each bag, I *think* there were 3

[Krystal16]

Nght - got any of the Lace or that darker color of tan in the Caron One POunders that you want to get rid of?

Hmmm... I don't think so, but lemme look & get back with ya!

[DreamsOfYarn]

I've used 1 partial skein and 3 full skeins on a RR I'm working on.

I'm taking a short break from the RR and I'm working on squares right now. I will post those totals when I am done.

+7
