Nothing to report this week - been dealing with the stomach bug:fever, so no crocheting going on. In a way, it is a good thing. :yesLost some weight and there was no way to go shopping for more yarn. (my friends always tell me that I always look for the good in everything. guess they are right:flower)

WTD 0

[morna]

My WTD is +6. My YTD is +6.

i'm working on a king size blanket and it's just getting to that point of being to unweldly to carry arround.

[christinaparrish]

WTD -12 YTD -12

 

Off to a great start here. My dm and dd went shopping at JoAnn's and Hobby Lobby of course my dd felt bad cause I was at work, so she bought me 6 skeins:yarn. I have been working so much, that I haven't had time to . I have tomorrow off, so hoping to get a project done and more on my ripple done.

Too much cleaning to do to get much crocheting done, so I'll post my score now, and edit it if by chance I finish a skein.

 

WTD= -16, YTD = -16

I used one ball on my ripple afghan. I started a handbag last night so I'm hoping I can get two more points in a couple of days but I probably won't get any more finished off today.

I was so bad in 2008. I bought an incredible amount of yarn, and used almost none of it because I spent most of the year nursing raging CTS. Still have the CTS, but I'm being better about my crochet time.

 

Anyway, a few days ago, I did an inventory of my yarn stash, so I know exactly what I have, what colors, what amounts (I'm a total Excel geek, so I have it all organized in a nice spreadsheet).

 

It's nutty. I have 617 skeins/cones/balls of yarn (more than that actually, since I combined some of my unbanded yarns into 1 "unit") and 79 balls of thread (most of it size 10 most of it new), for a total of 696 units of yarn and thread. I need to make a dent in my stash! Even though I bought a lot of it at steeply discounted rates (seconds, mill ends, clearance), well, that's a whole lot of yarn!

 

I'll start my counting tomorrow for the new week.

I got busy with a scrapghan that uses double yarns so I used up a full skein and a bunch of smaller balls. But the yarn sale at Michaels called my name and I couldn't resist. So my total for the week is:

 

WTD: -3 / YTD: -3

I have a couple of hats in the works so that will help for next week. This is fun, thanks for the great incentive to keep busy.

[meganb]

so far, I am at

 

WTD: +3 YTD:+3

:cheer:cheer Yay!!!!! I am excited to be in the positive. Although I feel like it should be higher, cause I am crocheting up a storm, but all scrubbies, and my one little cone of cotton (so I thought when I bought it last month) sure lasts a whole lot....didn't realize that, now it's a never ending cone of cotton, and my scrubbies are piling up, but not my score. I should be able to add it in there next week though.

 

I have found the benefit of boing broke, :blushI know I don't have the money for yarn right now, hubby's tuition needs to be paid in the next few weeks, so I should be building up a nice poitive score before I have the money to go negative. lol just the positive side of things right now.

[allieliz]

WTD +2 / YTD +2

 

Thankfully I went through a full skein of RHSS making charity squares last night, so, I finally have a score. One skein down, several bazillion to go!

[basjordan]

Excellent post Beth. it does help us to know what you need to make your job easier.

 

I am truly hopeful that I can do better this year.

 

Seriously, on Jan 1st I felt like a large weight had been lifted off me. 2008 just seemed to be a bummer all round.

 

Happy New Year, darski! It will be better.

I hope you feel better soon. It is good to find the positive in everything. Congratulations on the weight loss.

Walker - I've been dealling with influenza, so lots of going on for me. I'm doing a lot of sleeping, but when I'm awake I can manage to crochet. I did go shopping, but that was before the new year.

 

I'd rather have ANYTHING than the stomach bug... You poor thing...

YTD -4 WTD -4

The new year just started and I'm already behind. Getting ready for a february display and didn't have enough of two of the three colors to complete one of my projects.

Had that stomach bug two weeks ago very :yucky thing. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks for the well wishes Beth and Krystal. Acutally starting to feel human again. Today I ventured out to do some much needed food shopping. I stayed away from the only place that sells yarn around here (Wal Mart). So I am still at a zero for the week!! Go ME!!lol

And Krystal, drink lots of water, take a couple asprin, crochet a few squares, then call me in the morning.
