2012 Stashbusting CAL

[Jennifer seven]

Okay, put my name in. Maybe, just maybe, (but I doubt it) it will keep me from buying more than I am using:P But, probably not, as I work for a craft store chain and get a really good discount:blush

 

Will try to add a siggie shortly.

[FrLopLady]

welcome Jennifer! i think I'm jealous...

[CLLinda]

I'm at a plus seven for the week. Maybe being broke is good for the stash score.

 

It's just not very fun.

 

[Jennifer seven]

Good thing I don't have to add the 4 skeins I bought last night:devil

[marpan79]

BARELY finished another football [This one with braids in ARKANSAS RAZORBACK colors!!! WPS!!!] I was so afraid I wasn't going to have enough Brown, and I didn't have enough for the brown row of SC at the bottom, so I switched it out for Burgandy!

 

This puts me at +3 for the week.

 

Very cute

[marpan79]

I finished the skein that I started last week, so I finally made it to +1 for this week I sure wish I had more time to crochet than I do I double by tomorrow I'll get further, but we'll see

[sahm2g1b]

I've finished off 2 skeins today so far piecing together the afghan that I'm working on. So I'm getting closer to at least breaking even for the week!

[Shannart]

It's a very sad crochet week...I've done very little crocheting and finished up no balls or skeins. The "good" news is I haven't bought any either.

 

Sometime last Sunday I sprained or strained my wrist. It hasn't turned interesting colors or swollen up, but the side of my wrist aches like a sprain anytime I use it I've been putting stinky menthol stuff on it to make it feel better.

 

I NEED to crochet....LOL

[CLLinda]

Good thing I don't have to add the 4 skeins I bought last night:devil

 

 

Why not?

 

[dragonpuck]

Back to zero- I bought some yarn to make a scarf set- decided I didn't like the light weight- will work on it as it gets warmer, but finished 3 other cold weather sets:crocheting

[marpan79]

I hope your wrist starts to feel better soon Shannon. Use some ice on it, about 10-15 at a time. Might helpe a bit

[Ravenaier]

Shannon hope your wrist feels beter soon! I broke mine years ago and mine didn't swell up or discolor either, but it felt broken everytime I moved it.

 

Oh yeah...btw, I bought a skein of cotton thread today to start a doily with....I'm positive I don't have enough white thread as it was before I bought the skein. So I'm back to 0 for the week....*sigh*

[Amibel]

Ok. I'm going to be the shoot the moon winner for this week unless someone else has a huge haul this week. I just received the yarn I ordered for my mother's afghan, and I'm going to go ahead and count the skeins of cotton I ordered but will be here either tomorrow or Monday. Just kinda get it all out at once to ease the pain.

 

5 skeins of ILTY Peacock = -10

5 skeins of ILTY Agean Stripe = -10

2 skeins ILTY White = -4

2 skeins ILTY Black = -4

8 skeins of Bernat Handicrafter cotton = -16

 

Bringing my WTD total to a whopping -44 and destroying my YTD down to a -23.

 

I don't think I'll use anything up before tomorrow, but I'll wait to do my official weekly post until then, but I hope I don't sound pathetic

[tnkycrochetnut]

Well, bust my britches and call me droopy. (My English teacher during my junior year in high school used to use that expression. I always thought it was funny.) I thought I would win the "Shoot the Moon" award this week. But it looks like Amibel/Vanessa has beaten me. Monday my husband and I went out to eat to celebrate our wedding anniversay (January 14th) and stopped in WalMart. While we were in WalMart I was back in the Fabric/Craft department and 18 skeins of yarn jumped in my cart. So my score for the week ending January 21, 2012 is :

 

1/21/12 WTD: -36

Added you to the list. Welcome!

 

[CLLinda]

Making a bunch of baby hats for the hospital. Looks like a cold and snowy weekend ahead, so lots of crochet time.

 

[Amibel]

Well, I could just wait to count the cotton until next week, making you the Shoot the Moon winner But no, I'd rather just rip the band-aid right off, you know?

[Ravenaier]

Kathy and Vanessa, you're both shoot the moon winners in my book!

 

I've gotten to a color change point in my afghan, and can call the remaining yarn in the color A to be a ball, so I'm increasing my score to +1.

 

All I gotta say is....RHSS in Real Teal, and RHSS in Hot Red hurt the eyes when put together.....holy crud!

[cris]

Going to go ahead and post my scores now. The most I'll do tomorrow is roll a skein down so I'll just hold onto that +1 for next week (if it even happens).

 

WTD +4 / YTD +13

[FrLopLady]

Finished off o2 skeins tonight oworking on a round ripple

So +5 but there may be a HL trip tomorrow

[pineknott]

its going to be a busy day,so I'm posting early

wtd + 5 ytd + 22

[CLLinda]

Busy day here, too. DD home from college.

 

WTD=+9 YTD=+7

[Abigail1280]

Hubby got home last night from a 3 week trip and leave bright and early tomorrow morning for another 3 weeks, so I don't plan to be back on here today.

 

WTD +4 YTD -4

[BigPinkPolkaDot]

For week ending Jan. 21, 2012:

 

WTD: +2 / YTD: +6

[Ally]

Turned a skein into a ball this week so only a measly +1 so far. I'm hoping to at least finish that skein on the baby blanket today. On the positive side I stopped at the store yesterday and somehow yarn made it into my basket and right before I checked out I put it back. I guess I do have some willpower ...who would've thunk!
