2015 Stashbusting CAL

[greyhoundgrandma]

Rosie, condolences on your loss and hopefully things are settling down soon.

[Ellie 13]

My co-worker brought me a bag of  Mon. and said she would bring more on Tue. After I counted it all, the bad news was, 1st bag had 43 balls, the 2nd bag had 10 balls and 7 skeins. A grand total of - 67   my worst score ever! The good news is, I donated 47 balls and 5 skeins to the senior center for the knitting group (+ 57)  . I only kept 6 balls and 2 skeins, so I  every spare moment. Some of the I kept was 2 balls of a multi red/white/green and a skein of white. I made 2 Christmas stockings. I used the 2 multi colors, a ball of green, a ball of red and rolled the white down    (+ 5). I finished 3 turkeys and used the skein of 2 tone tan (+ 2)  .

So, my score is - 67 + 57 + 5 + 2 = - 3

WTD: - 3  YTD: + 113

[crabby rat]

I got rid of some yarn this week!  Not by hooking it, unfortunately... but I did use up a tiny partial skein and a tiny ball by making a pinata for my son's birthday party and then hanging it up.  I *almost* feel guilty counting the full 3 points since the amounts were so tiny... almost!

I went to Michael's yesterday to look for more multi tan  but couldn't find any (discontinued maybe ). So I only bought pin backs,   I was good, no . Last night I worked on another    with a plain light brown, not the same, but it works. I have to finish 2  this week and make as many pins as possible before Thanks Giving. I better get  so I'll get a + score by Sat.

[greyhoundgrandma]

I'm not often reduced to mumbling to myself and yelling at my computer, but that's been my last several hours while trying to create a photo book on shutterfly to use the joann coupon for a free one. At least next time it will be easier (I hope).

The new one starts Jan 1st, but there's no need to wait. You're welcome to jump in anytime. You just start with 0 with whatever stash you have and start counting what goes in and out.
