I think I'll try this one! Put me on and I'll try!

 

You're on the list. Thanks for joining us. I hope you enjoy our game.

My stashbusting score will be low this week. I have 3 papers due in one class this week. Yuk! Plus I have my keyboarding class also.

 

I have about 30 more stitches before my ball of thread I have been using for my doily is finished. Hopefully, I can find the time this week to make it to +2.LOL

 

Hugz,

Just wanted to brag I went to both Joanne & Michaels last night and didn't buy yarn. I just got the ribbon trim I needed for a project I made and a few other goodies (beads, an extra size 7 hook, and a set of yarn needles with a screw top case). I looked at books etc, but didn't buy yarn. ( I did pet though...)

Guess what? 3 oz. skeins don't have as much yarn as 6 oz. skeins! Amazing what you learn when you pay attention to details! So i didn't have enough yarn for the afghans I'm making as Christmas presents. I bought 8 more skeins (6 oz ones this time) to bring my WTD to -15, my YTD to -20. And I was doing so well...

 

Well, at least you have a plan for it all! And we need to buy yarn as well! We all want to be in this CAL next year too.

 

Finished off two skeins last night and tonight, so I'm at +4 so far. It'll change, though; I scoped out the clearance yarn at work, and I know I'll at least pick up a few.... dozen skeins? It won't be that bad. (I hope!)

 

Oh, you lucky girl! Enjoy those skeins!

 

 

 

 

I'm crocheting a little bit at the nights in the hotel, but not much... And since the skeins are so big I guess it will be weeks and weeks with zero. I have started to learn tunisian crochet, and I like it so far!

 

We're in Los Angeles now, arrived from Santa Barbara yesterday. Now we're going to a shoppingmall, and I'm so exited! I hope I find something... Clothes or... Just anything. I'm not so good at shopping in other contries, I don't know witch stores to go to, and end up just wandering around without finding anything. I sure hope this isn't true for today, though.

 

Have a good day!

What torture! That's like going to Godiva and not buying any chocolates! :devil

I just kept thinking about my positive score, and I didn't want to blow it. But you know I do have to drive by the Joanne with the great yarn selection this weekend...you know with the new Debbie Stoller yarns that I can't find here. THAT will be hard.

[TNcrochet]

Well when I go back and read how much yarn everyone already has I don't feel so bad because prior to January I only had about 25 skeins in my stash. So even though I am buying a lot to do projects now I am using them as I go.

 

Now I feel much better

[130chris]

Well,,,I went to AC Moore, and while I did spend most of my time petting all the soft, fluffy yarns I did cave and bought 4 skeins. :eek At least I bought only what I needed for the 2 little projects I need to do before my visit with family at the end of the month. With any luck I'll get thru them this week :cheer:cheer I thought that showed TONS of willpower!!! It's my first yarn purchase of 2010:yes

[Graceylue]

Used up another ball tonight WTD+5 YTD-3 getting close to a zero score! Unfortunately/fortunately my friend is coming over tomorrow with my Christmas present...

That's called willpower! Very difficult to do.

 

[basjordan]

I finished a skein on a hat, so I am heading back towards the light! WTD -13, YTD -18

[candiwv_]

I finished up the ball/skein of thread for +2. I hope to get a few balls of acrylic used up this week too.

[Graceylue]

Saw my friend today and she didn't kill my score too much, just one skein of yarn and some knitting things. WTD +3 YTD -5

[TNcrochet]

Just used up a skein on a shawl I am making for local nursing home.

 

WTD +3

[PBLKNP]

Finally used up a skein! I'm making progress with the Ladybug Afghan.

 

[MouseCLP]

Finished a scarf late last night, so I'm +2 for the week. This CAL group has been a great inspiration to me -- THANKS everyone!!

[Graceylue]

Used a ball rolled a ball and regained what I lost this afternoon:cheer WTD +5 YTD -3:hook back to:crocheting

[sdeepthinker]

Well, I've been busy crocheting on my WIP Afghan and I've got another 4 skeins used so that puts me at a +10 for the week so far so we will see if my other skeins come in the mail this week or next. More snow here today so we now have 22-24 inches and for once I'm glad the mail delivery is slow. We have only had mail two days since last Fri. I thought the mail went despite the weather but apparently that is no longer true. Will get a picture of my WIP as soon as I get a nice day and enough light. Should have it finished by the end of the week if I keep it up at this rate.

Ok. This is what I need. My DBF will love this. He says I need to get rid of some of this "mess". Hope I can remember to post each week. Good luck to all. :clap

[patterncollector]

used up two balls thread on valentine gifts +4

[dilyca2006]

I'm so excited. I just finished up a skein!! first one this week.

[Marzee]

Not much crocheting this week, just a little work on "the blanket". The Caron Black Pounder #2 has hollowed out and flattened, but that's all.

Well I am pretty proud of how I've done this week, sitting at +12 so far...but since I had to change my plans for the games I need to buy yarn. Drat.

 

I plan to stop by Paradise Fibers in Spokane tomorrow on my way to visit my Mom. Hopefully I can find something divine to work with...maybe on a big fat cone that won't kill my score with the yardage I need. I'm so excited, because I have never been there but it supposed to be amazing. Now if I can just stick the the list....

[1wani]

I have lots of size 10 thread besides the stash of yarn. Do I get to use a ball of thread as 2 points when I use it up? And one point for finishing a partial ball? Since I am going to be making snowflakes and angels, this will apply. Thanks, Wanda:think:think
