2011 Stashbusting CAL

[FrLopLady]

OK ladies you can all go yarn shopping now, I have been gifted 22 skeins

minus the lone ball I have used up that puts me at

 

 

-43

 

working on scarves so I should be able to take off a few points but I believe " shoot the moon" is in my future

 

She/he who dies with the most yarn wins!

 

I'm going to give you some competition for that crown...

 

Hobby Lobby..need I say more???

[pineknott]

I'm probably not using much yarn this week. Been reading "Kill me if you Can" by James patterson. Very good story. Too bad I can't read and crochet or knit at the same time.

 

 

thats why I like audio books,it frees up the hands for other indulgences

[PBLKNP]

I'm putting in my totals now, so I don't forget over the holiday weekend...

 

I managed to be somewhat industrious (made more headway with my cabled crochet jacket), so:

 

Stashbuster Total: WTD +4 YTD -17

HAPPY LABOR DAY WEEKEND, EVERYONE!!!

[TCarra]

And here are my weekly tallies, too!

 

WTD: +20

YTD: +79

 

Hope you all have a happy and safe holiday weekend!!!

My Weekly Tally

WTD +6

YTD -19

[CLLinda]

I bought two skeins and used two skeins, so I'm at a big fat

0 for my WTD score.

[TurtleLvr]

I've been crocheting some, but haven't used a thing up! So for the first time I have a zero for the week.

 

WTD: 0, YTD: -138

 

[cris]

wtd -10/ytd -63

[fc1123]

here is my score for the weekending Sept 3,2011:

 

WTD:+6/YTD:+25

[pineknott]

wtd + 10 ytd +162

[greyhoundgrandma]

I got the revisions for the mandala throw and finished the first skein, so I'm now...

 

WTD -26

[Shannart]

I'm on the moon and probably staying on the moon. Can I blame it on the lack of oxygen to my brain?

 

I worked on several projects this week including dishcloths, stashghan, baby gifts, and my rug...used 7 balls, turned 2 skeins to balls. + 9

 

However I took full advantage of JoAnn's 30% off yarn and free shipping, and then found cotton yarn clearance at Mary Maxim. About half the yarn I bought is for specific projects, the other half was extra cotton yarn since everyone seems to want dishcloths and potholders for Christmas. New skeins of yarn: 63. That is -126

 

Totals: WTD: -117/YTD: -167

 

I will be back in the morning to post the totals for the week.

 

NO MORE BUYING YARN...NO MORE BUYING YARN...NO MORE BUYING YARN...

[dragonpuck]

Wow my WTD -41 seems kinda weak up against that

 

but I bet you'll have loads of fun!!!!

[yarn_geek]

[FrLopLady]

Another big fat zero for the week. Busy doing beginning of the month errands, and had to get my gutters cleaned. They extracted a dead bird from a downspout.

[TCarra]

Shoot for the GOLD, Shannon!

[fc1123]

wow quite shocked to see a bronze for doing something good this weekend at work just hasn't been my weekend so to see that I accomplished using more yarn is a blessing

[fc1123]

well bought 4 skeins of yarn today -8 so far

[greyhoundgrandma]

Finished the second skein in the Mandala Throw. Hope to stay in the positive this week!

[FrLopLady]

Mona I'm doing a Mandala throw too for a baby blanket! just finished up one more skein on that one.

Now you don't really think i'd post it now before my partner got it do you??

[cris]

Should go to 0 tonight since I have to roll off 2 skeins for a new project I'm starting. Hopefully I'll get enough actual crocheting in to move into the positive this week.
