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

[scc51055]

Way to go everyone! off change sig. and to start at 0 for the week!

[tamugrad02]

I joined the "crochet with plastic bags" CAL....how do I account for the "plarn" I'm making out of the bags? Any suggestions?

[Krystal16]

Tamu - I would say that the "balls" of yarn that you make will count as "1" and as you use up a ball, you count it as "1" again.

 

If you're cutting and making your yarn as you go, I wouldn't count it either way. That's what I did with my fabric strips for my rag rug - if you use it as you go, you're not creating stash, so no points.

I was able to use up 35 small balls of yarn last night and today making Circles of Hope and 2" squares. I was lucky that some were only enough to make 2 Circles of Hope...but I counted as balls so I will accept them as balls:devil . there are some coming up that are half a skein and then I will slow down.

Krystal16, I didn't see my name on the list. Is it because I missed the post again (the library was closed Sat.)? Even monthly I mess up - LOL. I'm o.k. with weekly scores. My dad is going to try and get my computer on line so I won't have to use the library or his any more. I got 5 skeins from my mom (-10), but used 2 up, plus made 4 skeins into balls (+8). Total -2. I'll try harder to keep up the scores.

Ellie - when I tally scores, I usually only go back to Friday's posts to see who's posted. If I go back to earlier posts, then it takes me forever and a chicken's foot. So, if you can post on Friday or Saturday, then I can get your score in there.

Yes, we're going to go back to weekly. It is better on those weeks where we have to purchase, but I just missed hearing from everyone so often!

My month of May topped out at -48, but I squeezed +8 points in two weeks, so my overall total was -40 for the month. ! Good thing my order from Webs hasn't arrived yet; thank goodness for back order! Sorry I'm late posting Krystal, but with the holiday I couldn't get on the internet.

+2 for me, I used up one of those little skeins on a baby hat and booties! They are pretty cute, plus a decent start for me for the week!

[angelfire]

I used up 6 balls last night and this morning making 2" squares ...have to love them... they are made with a bean stitch and a F hook.

[yarndiva]

I used up 2 skeins for my bolero last night, er early morning I should say!

[Moonlightbliss33]

Man i forgot to post =[

[hseger]

I made a skein into a ball yesterday so +1 for the week.

[Lavelle26]

I agree with the weekly posting. Somehow when it went to monthly posting, this cal got put on the back burner for me. I haven't been around at all this month. My total for the month was 12. Anyways, I will try to get more done this week so I can BUST THIS STASH!!!

[rlanto]

I'm glad we're back on week posting. It'll be especially useful when i go to order all my yarn for Christmas presents this year. I have a lot to order.

 

With that said, I purchased 1 skein on Sunday while I was at JoAnn's. I could have bought more, but I settled on the one skein. I'm going to make a few kitchen sets with it, so it's not a travesty.

 

Also, I don't see myself getting terribly far this week, as I'm working on a one pounder. Arg.

[KellyA]

used up the rest of a skein so plus one for me this week:hook

[Krystal16]

I'm working my way through pounders AND thread... but I think I might actually score some points this week. But once the thread is gone, I have to replace it anyway!

[KnittinMitchie]

well for the week its -10 for me. I bought 5 skeins yesterday, 2 of then are 1 punders, to make hubby a sweater and me some summer weight cotton socks. I'v reset me WTD to 0, but its now -10

[Krystal16]

It's like the song, just different:

 

I'm getting closer to my score....

 

I can see these little balls of the pounder getting smaller and smaller and smaller... but they never seem to go AWAY!!!!

[Krystal16]

 

I finally SCORED a POINT! (And it's ONLY Tuesday!)

 

I wound my maroon into a ball for my RW&B afghan! +1

[coolhockeymom]

MY WIP are growing so hopefully I will be using up my Stash .

[renegade]

I'm starting off the week at -8. I had to buy a ball of thread to complete the doily for the doily swap - I needed only about 18 inches, so I now have a virtually full ball of thread.

 

While at Michael's getting the thread, they had a display of giant balls of Sugar n Cream (12 oz). In lots of nice, pretty colors! I'm doomed, doomed, I say. At least I only purchased the 1.

 

Then, I received a packet from my SP, with 2 skeins of yarn (but I love the yarn so yay for free yarn!).
