2012 Stashbusting CAL

[greyhoundgrandma]

Well, it looks like I won't be ending the year under -100. I was gifted today with 8 skeins and 2 balls of yarn. Maybe I will have time to work some of it off after Christmas. -18 for now.

Linda, I'm wishing you all the best. You will get through it - just do it a day at a time. That's a platitude, but still true.

 

Ok. everyone has permission to go shopping. I'm obviously shooting for the outer solar system. The last JA orders arrived. I hadn't actually counted, and, um, it's a lot of little skeins that were on sale. A LOT of little skeins that were on sale. So the week to date for me is (pulls paper bag over head): -82. I could wipe out a bunch of those, but unfortunately, I'm working on some other things that need to be finished up. They included two or three wonderful new-to-me colors. I can't wait to get to play with them.

 

Ah well, I'll do better next year!

Used up a ball making Victorian texting gloves (fingerless gloves). I had just enough of a beautiful burgundy color and decided this was perfect for my gloves!

Those are very pretty fingerless gloves.

 

I was sooooo good on Monday I went to AC Moore and JoAnn and didn't buy any yarn. But....yesterday I was at Walmart and a skein of baby yarn found its way into my cart and then I passed the clearance area and 3 more skeins jumped into my cart. So right now I'm at -8.

[tnkycrochetnut]

I was expecting my order from Joann.com to arrive tomorrow. But when we got home today from getting my hair cut there it was. Six beautiful skeins of Caron One Pounders - 2 Royal Blue, 2 Red, and 2 White. My plan for them is to make some patriotic lapghans. Probably not anytime soon but sometime next year. Here is my first New Year's resolution for 2013 - I will not buy any yarn in 2013 or at least I will wait until November/December 2013 before buying any. We will see. Let's see with my new yarn my count for this week so far is -12.

[ddc]

tnkycrochetnut - I absolutely have to join you in that resolve. I'm ended the year with more yarn than I started with. The One Pound royal blue is a nice color. Yesterday I finished a round ripple with that, kelly green, iris, and white.

 

Those are really pretty gloves. I love the shell edging.

 

I used up some dark orchid in a lapghan. So now only -80!

[greyhoundgrandma]

Wal-Mart sale yarn got me today....-12. Now I'm at -30 for the week.

[FrLopLady]

bought 4 skeins, but use up one of those already. Made another hat that used up a complete skein and another rolled into a ball. -3..edit -1! I had to go back and see if I had counted the skein from a hat I didn't finish until Monday

 

working on another hat tonight!

[FrLopLady]

the -1 should have been a -2 as I didn't use up the entire skein..but I did use up another skein on santa hats so I'm even 0 right now

[BigPinkPolkaDot]

I worked a skein down into a ball on a prayer shawl.

 

For week ending Dec. 15, 2012:

 

WTD: +1 / YTD: +5

[FrLopLady]

made a hat in the middle of the night (darn allergy meds anyway) that took up 2 skeins.

Finished a hat that used up one more. Used up another skein on a hat and cowl. +8. And the morning is still young in the nw!

I was asked if I made Christmas stockings, so I got out 4 I had left from last year. My friend took them, but she needs 8. She wants 2 more with red/white stripes, 1 red/green stripes and 1 with green/white stripes. I had red and white I got last week, but I needed green, so she "borrowed" a ball of green from her grandma. I used the green, the white and rolled the red skein down (+4). I got 3 stockings done . Maybe I can get her to "borrow" some more green . I'm going to Michael's later, so I'll look for Fun Yarn (1.75 oz. skeins) in green.

WTD: + 3 YTD: + 100 triple digits!
