2012 Stashbusting CAL

[yarn_geek]

I finally got the ends weaved in on the RR. Had a little help from Scaredy Cat.

Great job: that's very pretty! You know they're good when they get the :catstamp of approval!

Missed a week or 2. I used a pounder, but had to buy another to finish the elephant. Used the baby yarn, but had to buy another to finish the solas caomh afghan. sigh. I did roll a ball, and I don't think I counted the last skein I finished on the baby blanket... so I am counting this week as a

 

Wtd: +3

 

Here is a picture of the baby afghan. I still need to weave in some ends I think.

 

 

 

 

Wow! I love the cables!

[yarn_geek]

I'm not going to finish off any skeins tonight, so I might as well post my score now. I got sucked into Michaels' yarn sale on L&T Impeccable and ended up with fifteen skeins.

 

WTD: -30

[tnkycrochetnut]

Almost forgot to post my score for this week. It would not matter if I did forget as this is my score for the week ending 4/21/12:

 

WTD: 0

 

I have hit a slow spot or a pothole in my crocheting as I have done very little crocheting this week. I have been working on a beanie cap this week and just 2 rows shy of being done. Also,I got out some yarn (what was left of 2 skeins that I had been making UBW caps with earlier this year.) that had tangled all up. I spent about 2 days getting this untangled. So I have nothing to count this week. Oh well.

I wound 3 skeins down to balls this week, so my totals are

 

WTD +3 / YTD +32

 

I will see about getting totals posted tomorrow, it will be my first time so go easy on me!!

I'm lucky I'm broke right now. Otherwise, I would be in the same boat, with lots of new yarn to play in. Enjoy the yarn, Yarn geek!

I've done a little hooking this week, but have been preoccupied with our puppy and house training him, keeping him from chewing up baby toys, keeping him and my youngest (18 months) from hurting each other. So not much hook time. AND I'm using pounders to make a baby blanket for my son's teacher who's due right before school ends next month with her first baby.

 

For the week ending 4-21-12

WTD: 0

Finally finished the baby blanket (Bernat Baby Jacquards) that's been on the back burner. But didn't finish off another skein.

 

Gorgeous!!

Beautiful

[marpan79]

Well, last week and finishing up on Sunday I made 2 baby ghans. One rr for a friend and one granny. The granny was supposed to be 3x3, but I downsized when I realized I wouldn't finish it yesterday before my parents left this morning and I didn't want to have to mail it But it's still a good size for a baby

 

I think I ended up making 3 more skeins into balls yesterday, so I'll have to +3 to my score for this week

[cris]

I forgot to post my score on Saturday I'll just roll that score into this week coming up.

[FrLopLady]

I was out of town and didn't get my score posted either. It wasn't earth shattering by any means... -4.. will add to next week

[greyhoundgrandma]

Finished up a skein last night and finished a project that was on a time limit. Positive for the week now, but tomorrow I'm going to some combination of HL, Michael's, and Jo-Ann's. It's my day out and I'm going to shop until I drop or I can't stand the city traffic any more, whichever comes first!
