[Breger3]

I used up a skein yesterday on a comfortghan I'm making, so this week is off to a good start!

Great job everyone on busting the stash, and thanks to scc51055's hubby for keeping me off the bottom of the list two weeks in a row

I am off to a good start on this week - square CAL is still going on

Some how I always do great for that - figures after all the yarn I have acquired

[krazy-kitty]

So far this week Iam -24 again, only went to the shop to buy some more white that I needed and ended up getting a pack (4 balls in a pack) of blue, pink and peach:devil

I finishes a skien so that puts me at 0 for the week. Been working on a 30" doily and need to go fine more crochet thread lol.

While helping a neighbour pick up something she'd purchased at a yard sale, I mentioned never finding yarn at yard sales, and she mentioned a yard sale she'd been to that morning.

On the down side, the yarn was priced not much lower than retail. There were even a few bags of a skein of yarn, originally marked $1.99 and obviously several years old...priced at $2.

 

On the upside, that meant I wasn't as tempted. I did find some yarn, and talked her down a few dollars, so wound up bring 13 whole skeins and 1 ball of something. The something looks like it's baby yarn, but it's black, with a multicolour metallic thread throughout. I'm seeing either fashion doll clothes, or dolls...or both!

 

So...after counting that in, and also counting the last of a ball that I used in an amigurumi style doll...I'm at -26 so far this week. Hoping to use up more before Saturday and this time actually having something to post on Saturday!!

[rlanto]

Well, my christmas present yarn started to come in. Right now, I've received 69 skeins of yarn. SOOOOO

 

-158 for me so far this week!!!

[tlisley]

Plus 2 for me today. Got another preemie blanket done. Small Skeins, but hey, they count!

[hseger]

Well I made a skein into a ball but I bought 3 skeins for my graph ghan so -5 gotta change my score.

[KellyA]

for the monthly square CAL..... I managed to bust through 32 points. I can only hope to continue in this postive way

[knitncrochet]

I've gone through 2 balls so far this week, but I'm getting a little itchy to binge on some yarn. It's been a good long while since I've bought any. I'm holding out, but I'm not sure how long I'll last!

Nght will be tallying up the scores for me for the week - I'll be back to tally up next week, though!!

 

See ya!

[rlanto]

Have a good break Krystal!!!

 

I finished a skein last night!! So, that's +2. Slowly, but surely, I'll get my score back up!

[scc51055]

we will miss you...........

have a great week!

[renegade]

I was a naught girl, yes it's true. I saw on the Hobby Lobby flyer yesterday that they have Sinfonia on sale this week for $2.66 a skein! That's almost half off, and better than the clearance price usually is. So I bought 11 skeins. I would have bought more, only I didn't like the other colors that much.

 

I also bought 3 large pounders of some cotton yarn for my summer cotton swap partner, which I'm going to mail probably next week.

 

So, this week so far, I'm at -28, mostly because I haven't been doing that much crochet this week.

 

As punishment, I forgot to take my wallet out of the Hobby Lobby bag last night when I got home, so I came in to work today with no wallet, meaning no cash, no debit card, no ID. I do however have my checks with me, so I was able to get breakfast and I'll be able to get lunch pretty easily.

I used up a ball today edging a blanket. +1 Then I used up 1/2 a skein on a little girls skirt. I may use up the rest tonight but not sure. And if I don't post now I'll forget. +1

 

Yesterday I used up a ball plus another skein on my friends comfort shawl. So +3.

 

+5 total

[rlanto]

Over the last two nights, I've been able to knock out 3 skeins, so that's looking like +6 on that one, which is good, since I got 5 skeins in the mail yesterday as well, so that gives me -10. So, alas, -4. Ah well, I received all almost all of my holiday gift yarns, so I should busy enough for the next 6 months!!

[Nght]

I sent out the last 27 skeins from last weeks eBay sale, +54

Used up 7 more partials working on the squares & daughters the other day +7 - +61 total

Can I use any more before the deadline? Remains to be seen....

[scc51055]

i am at a -6 for right now i have a few skeins i know will be gone by saturday! hopefully i will have a + for this week!

[hseger]

I rolled a skein into a ball tonight for +1 I might get through another ball yet tonight don't know.

[rlanto]

Knocked out another 2 skeins tonight at work. It was easy going without clients up and about. Not to mention, I'm done with my end of the month statistics (which is convenient only if a client doesn't get put out for behavior or something), so I've got smooth sailing for crocheting until Sunday night when I actually have to open the new month. I might get some damage done with these presents. It won't be so easy when I start on the sweaters. I really am not good at sweaters, but I figure I won't get better if I don't try!

[scc51055]

i finshed another so that is another +2 leaving me at a - 4 so far this week
