2012 Stashbusting CAL

[FrLopLady]

Insanely jealous of those with tomatoes

'

home made salsa is exquisite

 

and all my good work in the past two week is up in flames

working on scarves and I do so like RH shimmer, but not using it up as fast as I would like. -21 as of this moment, hopefully I will use a couple more skeins before Saturday

 

also got some baby yarn to make preemie cocoons-- as long as I was buying yarn----

 

You may have saved my behind lol I have to go count

[pineknott]

well good thing I had a high score this week,so the 5 skeins didn't put me in the -

went from +22 to +12

[ddc]

I really find it hard to approve of all this yarn acquisition this week. Couldn't you have waited until next week when all mine will arrive???

[yarn_geek]

Hmm.... I'm only at a -4 so far. I may have to go do a little shopping.

[BigPinkPolkaDot]

Worked two skeins into balls crocheting comfort scarves (+2). Then finished a ball (+1) on one of those. Then finished six balls making fringe (+6).

 

For week ending July 14, 2012:

 

WTD: +9 / YTD: +41

Posting early. Lots of work ahead of me today. Got to catch up on housework so I can work on my fair projects. I'm entering 13 projects in the fair this year and I have only 9 completed.

 

WTD=+5 YTD=+42

I hope I did it right. Can someone tell me if I did? TY

It's 2 points for each skein. Have fun with your new yarn!

 

I going to try and finish a cone before the day ends.

I'll be crocheting this evening, but not finishing anything countable. This week, my yarn in balanced my yarn out, so:

 

WTD: 0 -- YTD: +9

Finally finished that cone.

I've been stuck in the kitchen. The garden is about to whip me. Butterbeans on top of the regular eggplant, zucchini, and okra. Peas, corn and yellow squash have slowed down. Tomatoes are coming in faster than I can do something with them or give them away. After several years of the tomatoes not doing much, we are just covered up this year. And now the figs are getting ripe.

 

My yarn is calling me, but it keeps getting a busy signal!

 

LOL...I hear you on the "busy signal"--not much time for yarn this week here either. However, I am very jealous of your tomatoes....mine are looking downright wimpy

 

WTD = 0 YTD = -35

[dragonpuck]

managed to use 2 more skeins on my scarves but still a healthy

 

WTD -17 YTD +144

[yarn_geek]

Went to JoAnn's and only came home with one skein. Bought five skeins this week and used two, so I'm at:

WTD: -6; YTD: -232

[CLLinda]

It looks like a lot of people were checking in this week. Can't wait to see all the scores!

 

[crabby rat]

For week ending July 14th, 2012:

 

WTD +2 / YTD 0

 

I'm back to zero for the year! I have been putting together my granny square afghan - I have 72 out of 80 squares hooked together in one direction, and managed to use up the skein... so I'll be pulling out another to finish getting the last 8 squares attached horizontally, then I can go through and connect them vertically, then it's just a matter of a border!

[FrLopLady]

used up a skein making 3 hats.

+2

 

8 new skeins in a yarn exchange... then I had to frog a project. Ended up with 3 balls so 11 total...

 

-22 for the week....

 

Remember all I am on the west coast and I have to be at church til 1:30pm PST so it will be late afternoon for me and evening for many of you before I get the scores posted.

[tnkycrochetnut]

My score for the week ending July 14, 2012 is:

 

WTD: +1

 

 

For some reason I am not getting much crocheting done but at least this week I rolled one skein into a ball.

[FrLopLady]

Mary, I'm going to enjoy my bare holding steady, because if my Joann orders arrive this week, I may be covering myself with glory of the lunar variety, and dethroning you. I ordered 36 skeins, in two orders. I placed one and had one of those oh-no! moments when I realized I failed to include this and that. I scurried around and found a coupon for free shipping on $25 so I shot off another. Of course I had to add more to get to $25, but shipping is a waste of money, right? When it could go to More Yarn? At least that's what this queen of rationalization tells herself.
