2010 Stashbusting CAL - NOW CLOSED!!!

[jessicagil]

-6 so far for me. I must use 11 balls on my scrap afghan this week to break even.

I just finished off another pounder. Man those things take forever to use up. +2

I see with a lot of CALs that there is a list of all the participants in the first post of the thread...maybe it would make it easier to remember to look for all the scores if there was a complete list we could copy and paste into Word or Excel for score keeping? Just a thought, not trying to make any more work for anyone.

Hi everyone! Is it too late to join in??

 

My YTD score would be -23 (used half a skein on a hat) so far unless you count the little 1.5oz balls of cotton as 1 point, then it would be -19 (used three balls of cotton to make a teapot shaped pillow and one for a dishcloth) so my WTD would be +3

This is a good idea. I wish I had thought of it when I set up the CAL. I ran out of room in the first post with all the rules and explanations. The next place where I can post a list of participants is post #7. I made a hand-written list so far, but will have to input it when I have a chunk of time. That may take a while.

 

it's in there. Sorry for any mistakes. It's been a heck of a morning, and it's only 7:56 a.m.

Never too late. You get to start at zero, though, so you don't have to figure your YTD, unless you really want to!

I think I'm going to need to start putting my totals in again on Fridays...I always forget on Saturday.

[Braxxi]

Beth - you rock! Thanks for everything!

[PAndrus]

Oh, this could be bad....My son has requested a RR in Caron SS Brights and I only had four skeins in my stash! I have to go to Hobby Lobby today and get the rest I'll need....

Finished a skein working on baby afghan, so that puts me +2 for the week, and 0 for the year. What does HOFBD stand for?

Hats Off for Boxing Day (actually is just Hats for Boxing Day) is a CAL dedicated to charitable crochet. It doesn't have to be hats, it can be anything you make to donate. We set a year-long goal, and keep track of how many of whatever item we make, so at the end of the year, we get to see how many items were donated. Is that cool or what?

[PAndrus]

I did it....I bought six skeins! I'm officially a -12 WTD +23 YTD. Off to change my siggy

I hope you'll post a pic of the RR in those brights.

I just finished off a skein of yarn working on a baby project!!!

[hseger]

I finally got through a ball today. 1 point finally for the week.

 

WTD +1

[goofy]

I finally get a +3 I rolled two balls yesterday after finishing the main part of a baby blanket and finished a partial skein.

[fc1123]

well I used my yarn winder to make turn a skein of yarn into a ball so +1 there for me. Doing good at least trying to.

[Shellie_wnj]

I finally finished a project yesterday! I used one skein and rolled another into a ball. So that's +3, right? Hopefully I can use more before I buy more...

How do we count the little balls of cotton that are only 1 3/4oz - 2oz??? I just finished another two (half each of 4 different ones so I am counting it as 2 full ones used). Would they only be one point since they are full skeins but small ones?? So far this week I have gone through 5 of them.

A skein is a skein is 2 points, both coming in, and going out.

I finished a skein on hats today. Wtd -20, ytd -22.

I finished a skein today on a baby blanket. So that is -2 correct?
