Thanks to all those (and their families) who have served and sacrificed to keep our country safe!!!

[darski]

working on this let me use up 2 skeins so I'm WTD + 4

I need to make a hat but that won't use up a skein... and trust me on this - it is a baby buggy.

 

 

 

[TexasPurl]

That's beautiful darski! And yes, it looks just like a baby buggy! 

[greyhoundgrandma]

Cute set, darski! The baby buggy shows up really well.

I finished a skein yesterday......+2

[darski]

this is totally unfair...

how is a person not going to buy yarn when yarn like that is on the planet

I will be strong... and besides they don't have it at Walmart

 

[greyhoundgrandma]

It's easier to be strong when you can't see and feel it. LOL

[darski]

so.... I want major brownie points.  went to Walmart and did not go near the yarn aisle

 

[darski]

I'm pretty sure this would not improve our scores but it seems so very wise eh

[greyhoundgrandma]

I love it!!! And I definitely need to spent more time with yarn than with junk food.

Yeah, seems like there should be an extra point category for resisting. LOL

[greyhoundgrandma]

I've used up two more skeins....+4  = +6

[greyhoundgrandma]

And another....+2  = +8

[darski]

used up a skein so it's a + 2  i.e. + 6 for the week.  Hope to finish another skein on a hat but will post tomorrow night as usual.

[darski]

got the hat done and finished a skein...

 

WTD + 8  YTD + 16

Wow, Mona & darski are knockin 'em out this week! I've been in designer mode all week. Work a row, write it down, rip it out, erase, repeat. Not much used up.

WTD 0

Sorry I didn’t weigh in last week, but I hadn’t used up anything or gained anything.  NOT the case this week.  A dear friend just gave me a present of two skeins of Ella Rae Lush Merino in “Seagrass” (a sort of blue-green).  I’m not sure what to make with it, but it’s beautiful!  So:

Stashbuster Total: WTD -4  YTD -46

[pineknott]

wtd +7 ytd + 168

[greyhoundgrandma]

Debbie, mine is not as big an accomplishment as it sounds. I'm working on a blanket with, I think, 15 colors, and I'm at the halfway point where I'm finishing with some of the colors.

WTD +8

Have a fabulous week everyone!

[PBLKNP]

Oh, dear!  Well, I’ll make a note to do the scores next week.  I’m still working on my granny square tree skirt, so I doubt I’ll be using up a skein this week, as I’m using multiple colors. 

[darski]

these pillows might use up some yarn... Love these but do I have the patience? 

 

[greyhoundgrandma]

Pam, the tree skirt is looking good .

Darski, I like the pillow but I think it would drive me crazy.

[darski]

 found an interesting new pattern on Pinterest so I used up a skein making hats.  Nice to get 2points this early in the week

 

WTD + 2.
