2011 Stashbusting CAL

woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gold....thank you.....gonna work hard this week too

[saffronangel]

You must have needed it. The 'powers that be' made sure she left her purse there so you'd have to go back for it & yarn!

 

It's just a shame that PTB had to use such a drastic measure to get her to go get the yarn she needed. :lol:lol:lol

A skein of yarn caught me today before I could get out of Jo-Anns. Went in to find micron pens and a sketchbook. Found the pens, got to the register, and in my cart was this poor skein of yarn looking up at me with sad eyes, a tear hovering at the edge of the band. What could I do? I couldn't force the poor skein to roll back to the back of the store. What if the other skeins picked on it? teased it? What if the next person who found the skein treated it horrible?

 

I did the only thing I thought was responsible, I brought the poor skein home to live with me and the other hundred or so skeins that I've "adopted".

 

On another note...my eyes are almost back to normal! Was able to crochet by this evening without too much strain.

[Graceylue]

Poor little skein, you did the right thing Shell Lee giving the poor thing a warm loving home.

[cris]

Awwww you are such a kind woman *nod nod* That poor lil skein needed you in its hour of darkness and you were there for it.

 

 

.... hooked through 1 ball and 1 skein tonight.... only 2 more skeins to get back to zero provided the PTB leave me alone!... daughter's purse is on the table so I'm safe on that front

[Graceylue]

Didn't quite manage to get my light gray skein rolled into a ball but perhaps tomorrow, and if I'm lucky the dark gray one will need rolling come the end of Thursday.

I'm laughing so hard, I think I peed my pants!!!!

Came really close to killing off 2 balls yesterday. I'll find something to do with those little bits, but what?

[kraftynkrazy]

Since I was at my mom's house again last night I was able to work on the project I leave there all the time (a 3sub). Worked my way through 1 ball. (Doesn't seem like much considering how long I crocheted...) Ah well, at least this week is positive so far!!!

Wrennie, Check out the thread, Yo Yo's for Charity, in the Crochet for Charity section. That's what I do with my left over bits.

I'm happy to report that yet another person needed some spare skeins and scraps for her child's school activity, so I unloaded yet more stash. I'm really hoping this is going to make up for my shocking indiscretion at the LYS sale this week...

[Shell Lee]

Do we gain points for donating yarn to other people? If we do.... be prepared for a huge positive score this week or next!

[Graceylue]

Rolled a skein into a ball today, hopefully have a couple others done tomorrow. +1 WTD

[FrLopLady]

Finished the little wings shawlette tonight. DIdn't have quite enough to finish the pattern as written but was able to finish a repeat so I think it looks good.

 

Yarn is Yarn Bee Enchantress..what a fun yarn to make something with!

[cshort]

Mary,the shawlette is beautiful.

Yes we do!!! You get points no matter how yarn leaves your stash, whether it's crocheted, knitted, crafted, sold, given away, thrown away, or stolen.

 

By the way, I used another skein on my wrap, so WTD +8

Oh, Lord, don't say STOLEN!!! It would be just my luck to have masked bandits make off with my stash! :rofl:rofl

2011 Stashbusting CAL: WTD: +1 / YTD: +3

 

I busted a ball of pale yellow on a panel for the homeless blanket. No yo-yo's because I ran out on the round and continued with a similar colored skein. (No small bits left over.)

Man...I gave away the HUGE box of yarn a week too early! Gave my co-worker at least 40 points worth of stash! /cry

 

But I have a young cousin who's learning to crochet and he's loving it (he's 9) and so I'm going to go through my big bag of yarn that I haven't sorted yet and pull out some to send his way.

Ok - I'm back in! I wasn't going to until I started organizing my stash....and saw how bad it really is still. Actually started loading it into Ravelry - Have half in and am already at more than 36 miles of yarn. EEEEEK!!!!
