Thank you!

 

I will be praying for your mother Diana. I am glad that doc is confident that he will be able to take care of it with a lumpoctomy and radiation.

[CLLinda]

Wow! That was some record keeping. Great job. Thanks for doing that for us.

I had your score with CLLinda's name. So I fixed it. I do apologize. You get the BRONZE for YTD end of June.

[Lady Rebel]

Just made a skein into a ball... another +1 for me

[fc1123]

Well used up a ball of yarn +1.

I'm sure you'd have a blast; I have lots of yarn to play with! I don't have a clue as to how much yarn I actually have. My first guess would be 500 skeins, but I'm sure it's way more than that! (I played along with this cal last fall and added over 200 skeins in four months- most of it on clearance or 50% off. That was my clue that I had to actually join the cal rein it in some.) One of these days I'm going to lay it all out on the floor just to see how much there actually is.... yep, one of these days....

 

 

So far, I've finished two skeins of cotton, so I'm at +4 for the week.

[Lady Rebel]

Thankfully I don't have that much...well, let's see...5 skeins of one color I swear I'm going to make into something one day, 2 skeins of another color I absolutely hate, 1 skein of one that I love, various skeins of white and black (perhaps 5 altogether), 1 skein that I haven't used that I'm eyeing for the ripple afghan I'm making, and about 6 balls of the various yarns I'm using for this afghan....oh, and don't forget the 4 skeins I bought the other day. Altogether about 20ish, not bad....

[gshall]

I am amazed at the volume of yarn that is going through the hands of the ladies on this cal. How far do you think the items made would stretch? Spent my holiday working on my afghan and made great progress. Used one whole skein, and rolled three others into balls (though I may end up using them in the border), for a total of + 5 so far this week.

I hadn't ever thought about how far it would stretch...makes you wonder, huh?

[CLLinda]

I used up my first skein of the week! Horray!

 

[fc1123]

I used up a skein of yarn today +2.

[basjordan]

I finished a skein on the other niece's Christmas afghan. So I'm at +2 for the week.

[CLLinda]

i bought 4 skiens. there goes my score!

 

[PBLKNP]

Well, I managed to go through another skein this morning, but there may be issues if I decide to go hog-wild and get more yarn for a friend's baby present. I should just be practical and take the yarn out of my existing stash, but I did find an ADORABLE pattern out on Herrschners that would be so cute...I'd need to buy yarn for it, though...

[Mollyanna]

I am frogging an unfinished afghan that I don't like and making a different one, so I don't think any of the yarn I am using is countable. Rats!

Which pattern is it? I love to see what everyone is working on. (NOSEY!)

2010 Stashbusting CAL: WTD: 0 / YTD: -3

I'm back from a week off. Too hot to crochet! Too hot for most everything. We'll make 100˚ F. today. I don't have air conditioning since summer average is 80˚. We just seem to have a few of these every summer, so I manage. At least we don't have the humidity of you guys back east! I know. I grew up in Virginia.

Yo Yo’s for Charity

Dishcloths of 2010

[CLLinda]

I had to go downtown Crystal Lake and of course I had to stop at the sidewalk sales. Picked up 4 balls of yarn! There goes my score!

 

[yarn_geek]

I bought a skein of cotton I needed to edge a dishcloth since I didn't have the right shade of blue on hand. I'm still +2 for the week.

[Lady Rebel]

I'm going to go ahead and post my weekly score, since I'm working on a doily right now and won't be able to work on any more yarn till the weather cools down a little.

 

So this week is +4

[PBLKNP]

I'm posting my totals now, so that I won't forget!

 

I managed to avoid the tempting allure of the yarn stores this week and used up a skein, so:

 

Stashbuster Total: WTD +2 YTD +29

:crocheting:clap

[Ellie 13]

WTD: + 5 YTD: + 80
