Closed--2018 Stashbusting CAL

[PBLKNP]

Well, there were a few purchases!

I plan to make the Red Heart Granny Tree Skirt for this year, and I’m determined to start it in time.  Every year, I wait too long and it’s too late.  As luck would have it, Michaels was having a 30% off yarn sale!  I got 7 of the 10 colors I need. I think I’m just going to have to order the other 3 colors online. For the life of me, I can’t find SS Lavendar, Claret, or Blue in any of our local stores. 

WTD = -14

Hi! I'v been working on a wolf graph baby blanket for a friend for a while and I'm finally finishing skeins! !!! I did have to buy 2 skeins (-4) of a contrast color for the border, but I used up 3 skeins and a ball (+7).

WTD: +3

YTD: +87

I've been getting very frustrated with how long it's taking me to get this project finished,  but we're also in the process of clearing out a decade's worth of miscellaneous stuff from my house, cleaning and painting to hopefully get a loan to build on a mother in law suite and that's been takingup the majority of my crochet time. We're nearly done though, so I'm very happy about that. I'v also been doing a bunch of preliminary appointments with various doctors to be approved for gastric bypass surgery, and the approval has come through. I'll be having my surgery this Friday,  so I may post a score Thursday night just in case I'm too loopy on Saturday lol. Enjoy your week everyone! !!

WTD -1

I'll post the scores when we get home...probably late afternoon.

Forgot to respond before!  Looks like I’ll be doing the totals next week! I just ordered the rest of the skeins for my tree skirt, but they haven’t arrived yet. I’m hoping they’ll show up soon, as I’m itching to get started!

Glad you were able to finish the blanket! I'll keep you in my prayers for a successful procedure and a speedy recovery. 💐

[greyhoundgrandma]

Thinking about you today, Jessie! Hope you have a fast recovery.

I'm on the last border round baby blanket. I'll be glad to move on to the next project.

Hi!  I'm through the surgery and in my room. Thank you for the well wishes and prayers!

Hi everyone! 2 more Shelter Cat mats done. Used 8 balls. Then we had a fast & furious trip to San Diego to see our nephew graduate from Marine Corp boot camp. Great to see him achieve his goals, but I am tired! Our flights were so turbulent I couldn't crochet a thing. Oh, well. Back home safe & sound and working on the tree skirt again. 

Jessie - I hope your recovery is going well!

Mona - Glad you're nearly done with that blanket!

So, here we go! Heading out to our local fiber festival in a few. I'm determined to resist impulse buys. On the other hand, I'm totally prepared for my stash to take a nasty hit today. Have a great day everyone!

Sound like fun, Debbie!

Reminder: This is the last week of the month, so please post both your WTD and YTD scores today.

[TexasPurl]

The fiber festival was fun! I got to touch and gawk at the pretty new yarn. Most far too expensive for my budget, but it's nice to get acquainted with the finer fibers every now & again. I didn't do too terribly bad. I finished 1 Shelter Cat mat and continued on the tree skirt. Have a great week everyone!

I'll wait until middle of the afternoon to post the scores. I have the GDs for an hour or two at noon, and should be able to drop in after that.

[PBLKNP]

Oh, thank heavens I’m in time!  I bought a skein of sock yarn at the CT Sheep, Wool, and Fiber festival yesterday, but I used up a skein last night, so:
