I went to Michaels today. They finally have their new & improved yarn section up. I am a firm believer that bernat makes their brand of yarn. As those colors I recall being Berella 4. Anyhow I bought 2 skeins for scarves. I bought a skein of RHSS to finish a baby blanket next month... But I gave my mom a skein of yarn & rolled up a skein to a ball. :D I should be even this week if all goes well.

Well bought a skein of Caron Simply Soft Orchid since I'm working on my scarf for the month of August and it's a light purple so -2 there for me but it won't hurt my score too badly this week and who knows I just might get another skein done hmmmm guess we shall see

marzee, your square is gorgeous! I love how the black background makes the bright colors pop. And congratulations on posting your picture correctly. I was nervous the first time I posted with the new system. It's pretty easy, don't you think?

Thanks hon!

what kind of lapghan are you working on? I have a quiltghan and graphghan going right now. I have to do some digging in my stash for more yarn for the quiltghan............. I dont want to have to buy more.

 

 

:heart

:mug

 

I'm working on a simple rectangle one using LionBrand chunky, in two colors: raspberry and charcoal. It's where you work a square, then turn it and do a few rows on a side, turn it, do a few rows on a side, turn it, etc. until it's as big as you want it. :) Kinda relaxing to work; I like it. :hook

 

Speaking of stash, I totally fell down the other day, with the encouragement of dh. :oops So now, even having busted a skein of sock yarn, I am still 8 points in the hole for the week. :ohdear:lol

Thank you. :)

 

The black/bright colors combination is one of Krystal's charity square guidelines. I followed these since I plan to send it to her. It was also an opportunity to use up a ball of black yarn and to use a bit of hot pink, which I have way too much of.

 

At first, I was a bit flummoxed by the last part of posting a photo. I couldn't figure out why it wasn't appearing :think until I re-read step #7 to the end, about using the drop down arrow next to the paper clip to finally post the thumbnail. Otherwise, it was a snap. :photo

He's pretty crafty also; does some crochet, some leatherwork. I'm pretty happy to have him. :D

 

 

I doubt I'll bust anything today, so I'll go ahead and post my scores:

WTD: -8, YTD: -27

...I think this may be the first time I'm actually posting scores anywhere near on time. :lol

I'm putting in my totals now, as we're going away for the weekend, so I don't think I'll have time to be online much...

 

Well, I used up 5 skeins this week working on the Drops Crochet Cardigan, but had to buy 2 more for it, plus I ordered 2 skeins of sock yarn, so my totals for the week are:

 

Stashbuster Total: WTD +2 YTD +96

:D

Well, after three days in excess of 100˚ F. :hot , we are "cooling" into the 90˚s. We are working on a record string of 90+ days, now. Not the best crocheting weather, when you consider that I do not have air conditioning. (Generally not necessary here, since the average summer temps are in the low 80˚s, cooling off in the 50˚s and 60˚s at night.) I can find all sorts of reasons to post a zero :devil

Yippee:jumpyay, off the the Washington County Fair tomorrow! I love county fairs! get to see all the neat things people have crafted, get to win a ribbon or two for my jams, get to see all the farm animals, get to eat generally forbidden foods,....

Posting early. Lots of work to do today, and also having to drive my son to help out with someone's eagle project. I do have to drive past the McHenry Michael's store and hopefully my car will manage not turning into the parking lot!:lol That could be a disaster!:lol

 

I think it was a good week for me.

 

WTD=+9 YTD=+30
