2014 Stashbusting CAL

[pliefeld]

Question - if I donate a half of a skein is that one point?

Question - if I donate a half of a skein is that one point?

That's a judgement call. If you started out with a full skein and used some of it (whenever) and then give away the rest that's 2 points. If you acquired half a skein and then give it away, one point is probaby fair. Is that clear as mud!?!?

Got it. Thanks. They started out as shiney new, store bought yarn.

I made a couple of squares for the CGOA yarn bombing and rolled a skein into a ball....+1.

Starting the week in the postive.  Finished off a skein of Homespun working on a prayer shawl. +2

[Bailey4]

+2 Finished another skein of Homespun.  The upside is I'm working through the stuff I bought.  Downside is I'm going to need to buy more bulky yarn because when I'm done with the stuff I bought, I'm out completely.

[Addicted2patterns]

Well needed some yarn to finish up a few projects but I am hoping to use some up before I post a final score for the week.

 

So far I am at a -8.

[greyhoundgrandma]

I'm back to 0 after buying a skein of yarn today--needed some with sparkle for a crown for GD's first birthday.

I would love to join this Stash-buster CAL since I have not done any CAL's before as I make & donated things to Hospice however every few weeks or so I get free donated yarn from Hospice to do my projects some weeks it can be 10 skeins or more...I think I would be in the negative all the time lmao...:O) shakes head in shame...

Glad to have you join us. I find that the CAL helps me to focus on using up my yarn although I still acquire for specific projects and when it's on sale.

Since I found more stash while spring cleaning I decided to sort/organize it. I haven't used any yet because I don't know what to make. I have crocheters block .

WTD: 0  YTD: + 45

Gave 4 partial skeins to my group and made one ball.

 

WTD = +9. YTD = + 10

 

But I hear Joann's is calling my name.

[Addicted2patterns]

Today I used up a skein of cotton, and rolled leftover yarn from another project into a ball. So then currently I am at a negative score of 5. I am still hoping on using up some more cotton but will see.

[greyhoundgrandma]

I've been working on washcloths the last couple of days and rolled two skeins into balls....+2.

[CLLinda]

WTD=+3  YTD=+83

 

I'm posting early.  Looks like a busy weekend ahead.  Did the "Relay for Life" last night with my friends.  It's very weird to see your name on a luminary as you walk around the track.  This is the 2nd year as a survivor for me.  It's very humbling.

 

[Ellie 13]

I have 4 skeins Monet so I'm starting an other afghan. No    used yet. Maybe next week I'll have some points.

WTD: 0  YTD: + 45

I have been crocheting this week but just not using enough yarn to count.  So that makes my count for the week ending 6/7/2014:

 

WTD: 0

 

 

[ladychris2010]

Once again I've been crocheting but not enough to use up any yarn really. So I'm going to see about rolling a couple skeins into balls before the end of the night

[pliefeld]

Finished a skein last night. Finished two more blankets. I feel so productive. But that means a trip to Joanns tomorrow.

 

WTD = +11 YTD = + 12

[BigPinkPolkaDot]

Bought three skeins for a baby hat and diaper cover and two skeins of cotton for washcloths.  Used three balls on a hat.

 

For week ending June 7, 2014:

 

WTD:  -7  /  YTD:  -102

[ladychris2010]

Rolled three balls so at least I got something done this week.

 

WTD=+3

[treetybird87]

No movement on my score this week.  I got rather distracted with sewing, I got two dresses finished, but no crochet time.  

 

WTD: +0

[greyhoundgrandma]

I won't be finished anything else today. I'm working on a bag from a cone of cotton.

 

WTD +2

[Bailey4]

WTD +4 YTD -64

Nothing for me this week - I know, you're all shocked!
