2010 Stashbusting CAL - NOW CLOSED!!!

[dilyca2006]

well. I may be shooting for -1000 by the end of the year!LOL I have a kit coming with I don't know how many skeins of yarn and I just ordered more yarn for the sweater I started. I knew knew knew that I should have made the xl size instead of starting the l size. I always make xl and it is a bit large so I thought I would just go with the L size on this one. I have the body of the sweater done, ends tucked, ready for the sleeves and it is to small. So. I ordered the amount of yarn extra that I have already used. I will maybe finish the smaller sweater if I ever lose weight. or maybe finish it and give it away. I am just sick about this. I would rip it all out and start again if I didn't already tuck ends. Kicking myself on this one hard.

Putting in my totals, so I don't forget again...

 

Sadly, I gained skeins this week. In addition to buying yarn for the Special Olympics scarf, I also picked up one more skein for blanket squares for a friend, and a GIANT skein of James C. Brett Marble Chunky yarn! My LYS, which usually poo-poos 100% acrylics, had a big basket of this in the corner of the store. I picked up a skein, figuring I can always use it for a hat for someone for Christmas. It's a beautiful, soft yarn!

 

So...my totals are: :blush:blush

 

Stashbuster Total: WTD -8 YTD -34

[CLLinda]

[dilyca2006]

alright. Not getting the crocheting done today that I wanted to. soooo.... here is my score for the week.

 

WTD +5 YTD -301

[Ellie 13]

I made 3 and 30 pins. Used up 3 balls and rolled a skein down (+4). I ran out of ribbon for the pins, so I went Michaels to get more. I found the 3/4" plastic rings (which they don't always have) and got 3 packs. I realized I just used up all my green yarn, so I had to get a skein. The Fun Yarn (Lion Brand ?) skeins are small and were on sale for 99 cents. I forced my self to be good and only got 2 green ones (-4). It's hard when there's a sale and they all look sooo pretty, but I did it !

WTD: 0 YTD: 128

is 0 still even ?

Wow, I had a great week. Not that I crocheted a lot, I only used up a partial skein myself. But I gave away three full skeins to my mom, who is visiting me, to make a blanket with, and that meant big positive numbers for me! Hooray!!

 

score for week ending 12/4/10: +7

[CLLinda]

If you post early, and then have to change your score, just put in a new post. I continually look at the new posts and I don't go back to see if things are changed. Just thought you would want to know.

 

A lot of positives so far......

Thank you, Linda, for the great job scorekeeping! Good job, everybody!!!

[gshall]

Great scores everyone. Sorry I didn't post yesterday - but I stayed at 0 anyway. I woke up yesterday with pain through my wrist and up my arm, so knew I needed to stay away from the computer. Better today now that I have rested it.
