STASH BUSTING crochet-along GAME!! ****CLOSED FOR 2007 ****

[angelfire]

Since May 1st I have received 23 skeins (+46) and 100 balls of yarn from a member here @ Crochetville. She is kind enough to help me with scraps to make granny daughters. I have used 2 skeins for making squares to donate. so that makes a total of -142 so far for this month. That will change as I make up those granny daughters though.

I also bought 10 skeins to send to a friend but since they are already on the mail that even out to 0

Thank you my friend.

I bought 3 more balls of thread for my fancy fans stole, but used up one ball of yarn on my American afghan... -6+1 = -5 overall..

That is sooo cool! It looks like it's glowing. How do you do that? Can I get the pattern?

Thanks Ellie, on my blog I've described how I did it. It's just a plain granny square. Also the Van Gogh CAL is using this technique.

I used up a ball of rug yarn on a crated mat for my new furrbaby kitten. -1 point.

Well I finally finished my vintage cardi. I already scored for the final skein of yarn, but when trying to lengthen the sleeves I found several swatches I had made from a partial skein of this yarn, frogged them and used them in the sweater - since I never counted this yarn when I made those swatches, I think this deserves a point!

 

The finished sweater can be seen in this show & tell post as well as on this blog post which has all the details inclucing pattern link and my pattern changes.

 

I also used another skein on my Twyla sweater! But now I have to put that down to pattern test some letters and work on another project!

[Mermaiden]

Very cute cosy, Mermaiden! What color flowers will you put on it?

 

Thanks! It is going to be just like these

I have more points coming soon... I am working on a beanie cap...

[furball1234]

Finished another skein of yarn today so that is another two points for me.

[CLLinda]

I used up another skein in bright purple for a trim on a hop pink dress. It is looking pretty amazing. So that gives me 4 for the week. It's just so hard with the end of school projects, sick kids, etc. to have much time to crochet.

 

[hseger]

I busted a skein and a ball of yarn today for +3 points.

[RoseRed]

Ladies - as much as I hate to drop out - i think it's time.

 

I like my stash right where it is. The only stash I plan on using will be to finish up some things that I have on the hook and a few others that I have in mind.

 

For some reason - i'm really getting into thread and a mile and a half of thread just does not get used up that quickly!!! lol

 

But...I have to admit...I LIKE MY STASH and I don't wanna bust anymore.

[Krystal16]

YAY!!! We have another graduate! RoseRed - go forth and prosper!

 

I used up another ball of off-white on my RW&B afghan last night! +1

I finishe a giant granny square ghan to give to PRA. and that counts as a +2, and i am making a tote for my daughter using 3 strands and that will be +6 as i finish them getting close, not there yet!

[Krystal16]

Another skein bites the dust!

 

+2 for finishing off another spool of thread on my fancy fans stole.

[KnittinMitchie]

Dang see what I get for not reading this for 3 days. Anyway I finished up the ugly granny square using up 2 more balls. I also did a scarf and a hat. Used a skein in the scarf and then finished most of a second skein on the hat so I made a ball there. Did a pot holder, wash cloth & trivet set using up a skein. So lets see that is 2 skeins = +4 and 2 balls = +2 and skein to ball = +1. My weekend total is +7.

[Mom w/a Motif]

I haven't been posting lately. I have used up six skeins on my shawl I am making. I also sent two skeins out today from my stash. So I am finally getting close to being at zero again. 16+ points!

 

I am also starting a ball of scraps I think they are called 'Magic Balls'? Out of greens...

[Krystal16]
