Jain Posted September 13, 2009 Well I had a positive score all week until today. My grandmother gave me four skeins she picked up at the thrift store. -8 WTD: -6 YTD: -41 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Needle Arts Posted September 13, 2009 We have a few nice days in a row so have been doing some staining on the outside of the house and the deck (second story deck). With holding a sustained position on a ladder and a container of stain in one hand/paint brush in the other.....I ache all over. Tooooooo tired to crochet when I come in. Must keep going and maximize these nice days. My shawl swap if within three rows of being finished. Had hoped to get it done and in the mail today but it just didn't happen. WTD: 2 YTD: 170 (I have a yarn order coming in but not going to claim it any sooner than I have to.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegalWoman17 Posted September 13, 2009 A +6 for me this week. 2009 Stashbusting CAL: WTD +6 YTD +395 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArielManx Posted September 13, 2009 Crocheted like mad all week and still no skeins finished. I made a baby round ripple with a couple pounders but they're still both about half-full, and I had to start over on the hat I'm making my husband so a whole day's worth of crocheting got frogged. Oh well! Maybe next week I'll have something to report. WTD 0/YTD -25 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patterncollector Posted September 13, 2009 Crocheted for a few hours this evening and finished off two skeins so I have to change my score to: WTD: -32 YTD: -44 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crafty Witch Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) I forgot to post last week when I ended up frogging an old project that got ruined in the laundry. I went ahead and remade so I've effectively broken even. EDIT: I forgot that I'd found one of those bitty 48 yard skins that had gone missing and wound it into a ball, so it's WTD +1/YTD -182 Edited September 13, 2009 by Crafty Witch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeslieG Posted September 13, 2009 Last nite I finished up the 2 Strand Purple RR. That used up a good bit of yarn. I wound two of the leftover buff skeins into ball so I'm at WTD +19, YTD +44. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

basjordan Posted September 13, 2009 Hi, I've been your score keeper for at least a year and a half. I am finding it more difficult to do this. I would like to pass along the honor. If someone will not volunteer to take over, could we assign the duty to the "Shoot the Moon" winner each week? Let me know how you feel. Thanks, Beth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ladykats Posted September 13, 2009 Hmm, I like the idea of the shoot the moon winner, and I have received this honor on numerous times as you can see from my signature. I would volunteer, but my life is sometimes hectic and I am not always available on Sundays. Oh congratulations to the winners Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigPinkPolkaDot Posted September 13, 2009 I like the idea of passing the honor to the Shoot the Moon winner each week. I think we all have the potential to win that honor every once in a while. The old will just breaks down when surrounded by all that wonderful yarn, especially on sale yarn! So, not just one person has to shoulder the responsibility. Beth, you've done a fantastic job of keeping this up and keeping track for everyone. You deserve a break. Hugs to all the winners. Congratulations!

walker1021 Posted September 13, 2009 Beth - You have done a great job keeping up with all the scores. Thanks so very much for doing this. I think the Shoot the Moon winner of the week idea of yours is great. There were hardly any negative scores this week. YEAH to all!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jessicagil Posted September 13, 2009 Sorry all I forgot to post my score. The middle boy has the swine flu & I have been caught up lysoling everything. Yesterday took a bit longer then normal as he decided he needed to be everywhere in the house. But he hasnt had a fever since Friday so he's hopefully getting better. WTD: -12 YTD: +16 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
basjordan Posted September 13, 2009 Jessica, I hope your son feels better soon. What a lot of extra work for you, not to mention worry. I added your score to the list. Here's a big for you and your family, with wishes that your son gets well, and everyone else stays well!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He hasnt had a fever since Friday so I am really hoping he continues not to have one so he can go back to school. I might need to keep him home till Wed though I dunno. I will have to ask the dr tomorrow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jain Posted September 13, 2009 I like the idea of passing the job to the Shoot the Moon winner. I am also online most of the time and could take over for any Shoot the Moon winners who don't think they'd be able to get to it that week, if they let me know in time. I can be the fall back so we know we won't miss a week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeslieG Posted September 14, 2009 (edited) I can't believe I won the Gold medal. I'll tell you what, 2-stranded afghans really bust stash. Thanks for all the hard work and time you've spent on this Beth. You deserve a break. I hope you aren't going to disappear on us though. You have to stick around. I also think we are all doing really well. I know I've been trying to be really good about yarn. Even the DH has applauded my efforts. I'm sure I'll fall off the wagon soon though. I think the Shoot the Moon idea is great too. I'm sure I'm going to be in line for that as soon a I get to my friend's house to check out the leftover yarn.

jessicagil Posted September 14, 2009 Tonight I finished off 2 skeins of yarn on a baby set & enough to make a ball out of another. However its not in a ball so I wont count it yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jain Posted September 14, 2009 I finished a skein today on my floral cami. +2 And I've started a scarf so that should be an easy skein down pretty soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
