2012 Stashbusting CAL

[lhasaapsolady]

I'm working on a double stranded ripple, and that uses up the stash. WTD+18

[prettywoman030981]

Well, crap. Instead of crocheting I went SHOPPING!!! lol. And now my score is shot. lol. I bought 2 cones of cotton, one skein of SS, one ball of some type of chunky yarn, and one skein of ILTY that I needed for the next blanket I'm going to start soon. (random, I know....but they all have a purpose) I did buy a skein of homespun as well, but it's one that my daughter had asked for last week and I was too broke to get it at the time, so I got it now to surprise her when she gets home from her grandma's house tomorrow!

SOOOOOO..............

For the week ending 2-4-12

 

WTD: -9 YTD: -5

[FrLopLady]

WTD: 0..I'd hoped to finish at least one skein on the heirloom stitch afghan. Not sure I've ever had a 0 before

[Amibel]

I think I only see 3 so far who are in the negative, and of those, two are currently tied for the shoot the moon at -9 Did ANYBODY get a really good haul this week? I see our resident turtle had a 0 for the week

[yarn_geek]

Thought I might finish another skein on the tassels, but it didn't happen. But I am through with the afghan now.

Wow, That turned out great! I haven't seen that pattern before; what a neat idea.

[yarn_geek]

Went to Michael's today with a 40% coupon and a $5 off a purchase of $5 or more coupon (e-mail)..... and I left with 4 skeins of Sugar 'n Cream cotton and a skein of RHSS. I only spent $1.79.

I also bought 4 skeins earlier in the week for a project and used 1.

 

WTD: -16; YTD: -86

I'm not sure what time I'll be posting scores tomorrow as I might end up working extra hours, but they should be posted before the Super Bowl starts.

[marpan79]

I almost forgot, but I made a ball today so another +1 for the week giving me a grand total of

 

WTD +8 & YTD +17

 

[PBLKNP]

The good news is that I went through 2 skeins this week. The bad news is that I forgot that I received 2 skeins from my coworker to make a baby sweater, so...

Stashbuster Total: WTD +0 YTD +12

[Amibel]

Can yarn_geek get it two weeks running? Anyone taking bets on if she's gonna be a medalist in the STM for 2012 as well?

 

Yes, I'm tired and making stuff up

[prettywoman030981]

Finished the star shell blanket I've been working on, but didn't use up the last ball.....The ball will be gone in a few weeks, though when I send off the blankets since I plan on sending the little bit of each color left with the blankets in case a repair needs to be made. I figure the few feet left will be good to have just in case! And the border turned out FANTASTIC!! It really makes the blanket!

That is absolutely STUNNING!!! Great job!

Pretty busy crocheting week:

 

WTD +6

 

Here's what I've been working on. Also I've gotten the afghan triangles joined and I'm working on the two border rows. Then just the tassels to finish it.

 

Those are gorgeous!! Love them!!

 

Duh! I told you it would be blindingly obvious! By the way, isn't there a smilie for a headslap? I could have sworn there was one, but I can't find it for the life of me. (Probably another flash of the blindingly obvious.)

 

 

 

It looks great! I'm sure you'll do great on the border! Good luck on finishing that next ball! :yarn:yarn

 

Looks like you found the headslap smilie!!

 

 

Finished an afghan yesterday so I'm actually in the positives!!!

 

WTD +23

YTD +19

 

had two full bags of assorted balls,happy to say from those 2 quart bags,I have one small cream color and one coral,all others have been used for hats for the homeless

wtd +18 ytd +54

 

Yippie! I had a great week of crocheting! I don't think I'll get any additional full skeins finished tonight; if I do, I'll just add them to next week's numbers.

 

For the week ending February 4th, 2012:

 

WTD: +44, YTD: +174

 

There goes more of my stash! :yarn:yarn:yarn:yarn:yarn:yarn Bye stash!

Wow!! What a beautiful afghan!!

I love this! I've been wondering all along what the heck a triangle afghan was, and I think I'm in love! It looks like a pinwheel!!

[crabby rat]

I did get some hooky time in this week, however I didn't manage to finish up any balls or skeins... so I get to join the BIG FAT ZERO club this week, too!!

 

WTD 0 / YTD +12

That's the name--Pinwheel Afghan--from Annie's Attic's 2010 Crochet Calendar.

 

Finished the star shell blanket I've been working on

 

Very pretty. That stitch is on my to-do list!

[kraftynkrazy]

Not much yarn used up this week, but no buying for me either.

DUH! Unbelievable, the "oops" smilie is the headslap! I need to preview the post before submitting it!

 

So, how many people are going to crochet through the entire super bowl tonight?

 

 

The shell afghan finished up great! You did a great job on the border!

I think I'll be screaming thorugh most of the game with the occasional pacing, while spending the commercials crocheting. Go PATS!:cheer

Yes, I'm tired and making stuff up

Why, yes I can and have in past years.

 

I'm just starting to make the list, so it'll be awhile before scores are posted.

[Ellie 13]

I didn't get back in time to post for last week. I only had +1, so I'll add it to this week (if I'm not too late). I made 35 heart pins, used a small skein of cotton and rolled down a skein of red (+3) . I used a ball of pink for another heart door/wall hanging (+1) . I did good this week.

WTD: + 5 YTD: + 8

I'm not a fan of either team (actually, I can't stand one of them, the other I don't care enough about to have feelings for either way), but I do LOVE football! Plus, watching the Super Bowl is my reward for limiting my television time since New Years. I hope everything is ready before kick-off!

 

The commercials really are one of the best parts of the game. Halftime, I'll run around grabbing the rest of the snacks, food, drinks, etc. Hopefully, I'll also need to grab more yarn! :yarn:yarn:yarn:yarn:yarn:yarn

Hooks were flying this week! Great job everyone!
