2010 Stashbusting CAL - NOW CLOSED!!!

[Marzee]

2010 Stashbusting CAL: WTD: +1 / YTD: +5

 

Busted three small balls (+3) on two 6 inch squares and 13 yo-yo's:

 

 

Honest! the squares are square despite the pic.

 

Lets see what I know...the dark is RH Shaded Dusk. Can't identify the bright. The light blue/blue gray/white yo-yo's are the last of an irregular mill end skein that I bought ~30 years ago for 59 cents. It had no color name or dye lot number.

 

After being happy with myself for getting three points, my knitting friend found a full Caron 1 Pound skein of lilac at a thrift store (still in the plastic bag) and gave it to me for $2.09. (-2) Don't know what I'm going to do with it, but I just had to have it. You all know how that is!

well I rolled a skein into a ball so +1 for a grand total so far this week of a 0 so I break even though tomorrow that might be negative because I ran out of Simply Soft Caron yarn in white so another trip to Joann's.

Marzee, thanks for sharing the pics! I love those colors!

[CLLinda]

I just had to go to knitting today, didn't I? I came home with 5 balls of yarn. There goes my score, again!

 

But, it's free yarn, so it's all good.

I have bronchitis, but the medicine has made me deliriously happy. I'm laughing and it sounds like I'm quacking and it makes me laugh more. I'm living in a sitcom. I think I need to go back to bed.

[dilyca2006]

today is our local walk to defeet als and i doubt there will be any more crocheting done. I am close on a ball though. will not count it till next week.

 

WTD +4 YTD -254

[basjordan]

I'm actually remembering to post this week!

[dragonpuck]

Bought yarn to make scarves for Special Olympics so totals for this week somewhat lower than expected

 

WTD +4 YTD +264

[gshall]

Still working on my cross stich, so score again is WTD 0. The piece I am working on is the hardest I've ever done, so will probably put down for awhile next week to go back to the easier (for me) crochet.

[DesertCrocheter]

And I've been knitting this week, and I am the world's pokiest knitter, so

 

score for week ending 10/16/10: +2

[lhasaapsolady]

I'm still working on my parents quilt. I did actually use about 2 ozs of yarn this week, as I needed a break from handstitching all these names. Just really not enough to count. So still sitting pretty at 0 but at least I'm remembering to post, and I haven't gained at yarn.

[fc1123]

here's my score for the weekending October 16,2010:

 

WTD:+1/YTD:-34

[yarn_geek]

Found a good clearance sale on some yarn this week.... ended up adopting eight skeins of LB Homespun 'cause, you know, you can't seperate the siblings (same dye lot)! I did manage to use two skeins, though, so my shoot the moon score this week is:

[basjordan]

Great job, PBLKNP!

[CLLinda]

Nice scorekeeping. Great job for your first time.

 

[PBLKNP]

Thanks, all!

 

The only bummer here is that I'm in the hole, stash-wise, and need to do the scores again next week!

 

I used up one skein this week, but one of the women at my Stitch 'n' B group showed up on Tuesday with 11 beautiful skeins of Di.Ve' Butterfly yarn. It's a wool/acrylic/alpaca blend in a sort of green brownish color, and not cheap. She declared that she didn't really like the color after all, and would anyone like it? Needless to say, I just about lunged across the table...it's just enough to make a nice tweedy-type sweater.

 

The shame...I will try to do better this week!

Great job on the scores! It was a little scary the first time I did it, but it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be.

And! I got gold! Thank goodness for this two strand cardigan I made LOL

Yesterday, I was so loopy when I reported my scores.

I had changed my siggy and then when I reported, I was laughing so hard, I took away my points instead of adding them. I actually worked two skeins into balls this past week. It doesn't impact anyone else, but I thought it was kind of funny.

Gee, I'm glad I wasn't driving or something, the way I was quacking, someone would have shot me for their Sunday dinner and I would have been too delirious to figure out what was happening! Hey, you just have those days!

Thanks PBLKNP! If you hadn't done such a great job with the scores, I never would have gone back to check what I did! Happy crocheting everyone and congrats medalists!

[yarn_geek]

PBLKNP- You mean you didn't lunge across the table? That's awesome. Great job with the scores!

 

 

 

Doh! It appears I couldn't properly subtract 4 from 16 last night. The score I should have posted was -12; not a big deal but a bit . Oddly enough, when I updated my signature after posting my score, I got it right.
