2014 Stashbusting CAL

[greyhoundgrandma]

I didn't get my score posted last week--it was 0, so it didn't matter. I hope to have some much needed crochet time this week! I have some yarn coming in, so everyone has shopping privileges this week.

 

The box arrived: 37 skeins of cotton = -74.

[crabby rat]

I will have a score this week!!!    

 

My almost daughter-in-law was here yesterday with my goddaughter, and she knits... well, she's low on yarn, and she uses the kind of yarn that I have a hard time with so I unloaded a few skeins to her.  Good for her, good for me!

The box arrived: 37 skeins of cotton = -74.

I used up a ball and a skein..+3 so now I'm at -71 for the week.

I was feeling  , so I left work early, took Nyquil and . I did a little  afterwards. I'm almost done with the c2c, I used up a skein (+2)  . It should take about 1/4 - 1/3 of a skein to finish. I have 2 more skeins, so I should have enough  to add a nice border. I still feel a little , so I'm going to  soon. I need to finish this afghan and some potholders for a charity sale in a couple of weeks.

WTD: + 4  YTD: + 141

This past week I had one visit from the home health care nurse instead of two visits.  Then this Friday I went to the wound care center.  Unfortunately there has been a set back with my leg.  Instead of little or no drainage from my leg this week, there was more.  It had soaked through all of the wrapping layers. So now I am back to two visits a week from home health care and one visit to the wound care center.  I am also on a second round of my antibiotic.  I was also told to buy a tube of an ointment for home health care to put on my leg.  This ointment helps to dry up the drainage and to moisturize your skin.  I have used it before and just love it.  Its called Calmoseptine.  It has calamine lotion in it.  Its good for quite a few things besides my open sores.  

 

WTD: 0

I'm crocheting another prayer shawl.  This week I worked two skeins into balls and used up a ball.

WTD:  +3   /   YTD:  -137

 

I will post scores early afternoon tomorrow.  Church is at 7:30 a.m. and then I teach.  I'll get home after that and then post, so you have a little extra time if you need it.

As I said earlier in the week, I gifted some yarn to a person in need.    She ended up with 9 skeins that I probably wouldn't have ever used.    {+18}

 

In addition to that, I used up 2 balls, used most of another ball and gifted the remainder to my daughter, and gifted another ball to my daughter for a total of 4 balls disappearing from my stash...  {+4}

 

Also, I rolled a skein into a ball!    {+1}

 

My grand total for this week is... *DRUM ROLL PLEASE*

Sorry to hear of your setback.  My best friend has a wound currently that will not heal as well.  Adding you to my prayers.  I was given Calmoseptine by a hospital a couple years ago after a surgery where I had a bad reaction to what they cleaned my skin with.  LOVE IT!

[Shannart]

I haven't posted in 2 weeks...but I have barely touched the hook and yarn. My mom was back in the hospital.  She is home again for us to care for here.  I have several projects I am trying to finish.  Hoping to make some progress on the stash this week. 

[Ellie 13]

The c2c is done   ! I forgot that when you decrease, you use less   on each row, so I had enough to make a border. Rolled the skein to a small ball (+ 1). Didn't need the last skein. I made 3 potholders from a pounder of cotton, will roll it when I finish 1 more potholder. I made some turkey pins and started a stuffed turkey. I used a ball (+ 1). I need more pin backs and some yellow . If I buy it on Sun., I won't lose my 2 points, but will start next week with a minus. 

WTD: + 2  YTD: + 143

I know I've been quiet as of late but so much going on... I've finally evened out though.

I got requests for a couple of hats so had to go to Joann's to get the right colors. Ended up getting 7 skeins (-14). One of my partial skeins was starting to collapse in on itself so I rolled it up in a ball (+1). 

[BigPinkPolkaDot]

This week was an active crochet week.  I got to crochet during two hockey games and a football game! 

I received three free skeins from my prayer shawl group:  -6.  I finished five balls doing motifs for a baby blanket.:  +5.  I worked two skeins down into balls on a shawl:  +2.  And while working on my son's afghan, I rolled another skein into a huge ball because every time I tried to get more yarn out of the middle, out came a huge glop of yarn barf!:  +1.  So that's all a +2.

 

For week ending Nov. 15, 2014:

WTD:  +2  /  YTD:  -135
