Pam are you trying to convince us or yourself? LOL.I'm going to check out a new yarn shop today....and next week is yarn swap at the new group I found. I am going to try to give yarn away as opposed to pick anymore up. hahahahaha

This SS Brights RR my son wanted - I decided to do it w/2 strands held together (three year olds don't have much patience while waiting for something they really want). I have finished off 2 skeins!

I'm 49 and I don't have a lot of patience to wait on something that I want.

I have been using Bernat baby stretch yarn and it seems to go on and on. I am making my third hat out of the same skein. I sure hope it runs out so I can count it this week.

 

Have you ever had a skein that just won't run out? This one is only 2.8 oz. but it seems a lot bigger.

I lost my mind sometime today and bought 2 skeins of yarn for $34. Apparently I am flippin crazy.

I guess I am still having trouble understanding. I thought buying made + and using was - . I will get it straight sometime before the year is out.

I rolled a skein into a ball today for 1 more point.

 

 

WTD +2.

It took me awhile to wrap my mind around that, too... but since the goal is to "bust" our stashes instead of build them, we gain points for using yarn and lose points for increasing our stashes.

+ is Using yarn.. - is buying, inheriting, stealing (kidding) yarn.

 

Just think of it as "I made something with my yarn, and thats a plus for me and whoever I give it to."

[dilyca2006]

What. You'll second me not having much patience or for yourself!!!!!!!!LOL

 

 

I'll second that!

Another one bites the dust! :cheer I just finished the last skein of LB Homespun on a small afghan for my wonderful landlord and landlady. Now to weave in the ends and deliver it, then it's back to the sportweight cocoon jacket.

[crocheting4mygirls]

I just finished a skein of Joann Sensation Classic and it wasn't enough for 1 baby blanket I should've bought 2 and I don't think they have that color anymore Now I have to improvise

Boy, we'd all love it then, stashbusting would be reversed in this system, it would be stashgrowing, and I wouldn't have a negative number half the time! Don't worry, TN, I think you're just thinking about it too much.

 

Like maritalblishaha said, if you USE yarn, you get a +. If you ACQUIRE yarn, you get a -. We are all trying to make inroads into stashes of varying sizes (ahem, don't look at me just because I have Mount Yarn in my spare bedroom), so we want to have + numbers. We want to use up yarn, not get more (getting more results in the - number). The bigger your + number, the more yarn you've used up and the smaller your stash has become. The bigger your - number, the bigger your stash has become.

 

Well, eventually we'll have to get more yarn to take the place of the yarn we've used up, right? But we're here to bust! (I should have another +1 tonight, but I don't want to jinx myself and add it till it's used up and the wrapper thrown in the recycling bin).
