2014 Stashbusting CAL

[BigPinkPolkaDot]

Went to my church prayer shawl ministry meeting and came home with a bag of lonesome skeins that my friend brought in from her mom.  No one else wanted to adopt them, so I carried the 10 skeins home to frolic and play with the other yarn in my boxes and bins and bags,  I did work three other skeins into balls this week, so the grand total is:

 

For week ending Jan. 11, 2014:

 

WTD:  -17   /  YTD:  -16

[krazycrocheter]

My total is

 

WTD: +2 YTD:+2

[PBLKNP]

Well, I confess that there may have been some yarn purchasing at the LYS, during their big sale...the shame...        

 

I actually bought the yarn because I'm going to make a friend that Reader's Shawl from Crochet World - it's on the cover of the February 2013 issue.  She's not the type to wear a lacy shawl, but when I showed her the Reader's Shawl, she just loved it.

 

WTD = -12

YTD = -12

 

 

[greyhoundgrandma]

Used up a skein on a shawl, so ended the week with...

WTD +4

[Shining_Star]

I used up another skein today. My score for week ending 1/11/14:

 

WTD: +18

 

YTD: -6

[pineknott]

okay I had my yarn buying two wks in a row,time to buckle back down and get into the positive

 

wtd -1 ytd - 1

[Addicted2patterns]

Used up a skein of cotton.

 

WTD: +4 YTD: +4 week of jan 11/14

[Bailey4]

WTD-42 YTD -39 

[howieann]

Well, the Joann order did make it ugly, but it could have been worse... I finished 2 skeins and rolled 4 into balls for a +8. But, there were 18 skeins in that order, for a -36.

 

So: WTD: -28 / YTD: -30

 

But I shouldn't need yarn for a very long time, so it should just get better. And I have 3 balls that I probably could get one square out of, so they should be easy to knock out!

WTD: +7   YTD; +3

I finished off the red skein of yarn & am on a halt with my afghan.. Someone didn't make it to Hobby Lobby yesterday & they are closed today.. BUT I am over half done with the RR.

Sorry about the lack of color and size. I can change color and text on my tablet but not my laptop. 

[Bailey4]

I saw that one coming when my Herschnerr's order came in.  

[Braxxi]

You don't have a skein of Herrschnerr's Worsted Weight in Yellow do you? It's backorder until March and I need one to finish my afghan! LOL!

I thought I would share this picture with everyone. According to my stash program in Excel, I now own a little over 1400 skeins of yarn. Here is the pic I took yesterday when I had to get into the stash. There are 32 plastic totes here, each one is 64 quarts, and each is full to over-full! There is also the flatter totes in the lower left corner that's on it's side...that one has my cottons in it. My husband says I have a problem...

That picture looks a bit like my scrapbooking stash...

[greyhoundgrandma]

 According to my stash program in Excel, I now own a little over 1400 skeins of yarn.

The good news is you know how many skeins you have and have a list of them!

 

I just have containers (and a small closet) and haven't come up with a way to keep up with my list that I will actually update over time.

 

I used a skein today and then found out my package is at the post office, so +2 and -18 and now I'm in the negative for the year.

[Braxxi]

LOL! I have a list of how many, because I decided to count them one time I had to organize them, and I use my stashbusting list to keep adding/subtracting from the grand total. I DO NOT have a list of what I have though...rely on memory for that (doesn't always work so good).

 I agree - your problem is you don't have 4 arms to crochet 2 things at once!!  

[Shining_Star]

Brazil, I love your stash! I don't think you have a problem at all.

 

In other need I used up a skein today. Starting the week off right with +2.

Beautiful stash! Love your stash! I would always be starting new projects and never finishing anything. This is my newest square.

I made sure to show this to my husband to remind him that my 4 totes, 1 laundry basket and several shelf boxes (along with all the other randomly floating around) is not nearly as bad as he thinks it is!
