I can tell thje stash busting is working, I have to keep getting yarn to finish projects. I started this week off well, but had to go shopping,finished the lapghan but ended the week

 

WTD -1 YTD +114

[Shannart]

I used up a total of 12 balls of yarn working on 12 inch squares for a baby-ghan and 8 inch squares for charity drive = +12

And bought 4 skeins of clearance yarn : 2 sk RHSS "Bon Bon" and 2 sk Bernat Baby Sport "Candy Baby": - 8

 

Total WTD: +4

 

Next week I could be in trouble--I ordered a bunch of yarn from JoAnn's and from Knit Picks.

[tnkycrochetnut]

Although I have been crocheting not using much yarn so my count for this week is a big fat:

 

WTD: 0

[CLLinda]

Updating my score.

 

I did manage to get a little crocheting done, despite all the craziness here. DD is coming home from school and I'm working on getting her room clean. (I have been using it as a craft room) so I now have to clean it up for the summer. Yikes!

 

WTD=+3 YTD=+45

[cshort]

My score is following the same pattern this week wtd 0, ytd +14.

[MouseCLP]

Sorry I've been MIA for so long; I've been on the west side of the country for the last couple of weeks, spoiling my 6 mo old grandson. (No excuses for the weeks before that.) I don't remember what came in and went out before my trip, so I'll pick up where my memory starts.

 

Just before my trip, I bought one skein of sock yarn to knit my son-in-law some socks. Then I bought three skeins on my trip; one for Mom's socks, one for my own "souvenir" socks, and a skein of yarn that says it's 100% sugar cane. It's soooo soft! Meanwhile, the only skein I know I finished off was a skein of soft cotton for a sun hat for my grandson and a dishcloth for my daughter.

 

So, as best I can figure, I'm at

WTD -7

YTD +52

[PBLKNP]

Sadly, I didn't use up a skein this week. I'm still slogging away on my sock class "homework," which means I'm still working on the same skein. No additions, though!

 

 

Stashbuster Total: WTD +0 YTD -16

[Izabelka]

This week

WTD -2 / YTD + 28

[crabby rat]

I'm still plugging away at the granny squares I'm making - so I'm still using up a bunch of small balls of yarn... I used up 10 this week!!

:manyheartGreat job on the Stashbusting scores, Mona. It looks great!

ok ladies. I haven't been posting because I haven't been finishing anything. On the plus side, I have resisted buying more yarn, so that's a good thing. I picked up my ladybug afghan to finish, so may score this week. Question - if you simply eliminate yarn (i.e. garage sale), does that count as a reduction? I'm only keeping scraps that would work for toy projects that I have planned - taking a break from scrap afghans.

That would be fine. They count any way that they leave your stash.

Yes. That's what it means! Any questions, please PM me and I will help you.

2 balls made +2

[CLLinda]

I used up two balls of yarn, but then bought a skein today at Hobby Lobby. I could have done a lot worse than one skein. They had a lot of yarn on clearance. But I was a good girl.
