I agree Nght. I'm curious about your great buy. Have you ever taken a picture of your stash?

[Nght]

Ok fine... but it'll hafta wait until tomorrow, when hubby's not home... I found places to stash before he got home today!

(and that's only becuz I have like 100lbs of misc. yarn listed on eBay & have cleaned out some tubs!!) Will take pix for ya too.

 

Other topic.. does anyone have the Magic Crochet magazine, Issue #76??

If so, can you tell me why ONE mag is selling for THIS much on eBay???

Got me...

Sorting and organizing stash today. It's been long overdo. However I got 6 points from having to throw away some stuff. A skein of boa yarn got wild and engulfed several partials who had a duel to the death and by the time I found them, sadly, all hope was lost. Little boneheads... they ought not play like that! So a very sad +6 for me...

[rlanto]

That is insane (about that magazine). I hope it's worth it. I haven't finished anything in the last two days. I had to take a break from crocheting because my wrist was killing me. Silly arthritis + amazing thunderstorm weather = no crocheting.

 

I expect I'll get a lot done in the next few days as I'll be laid up after my surgery for a few days without the ability to really walk around a lot. Renee + Couch + Lots of Movies = Lots of Crocheting!!!

 

I'm going to try to tackle my stash tomorrow and organize it a bit. I need to figure out what I have and what I need to finish WIPs and Planned WIPs for holiday gifts. I get my living allowance again soon which means yarn buying time!!!

I agree Nght. I'm curious about your great buy. Have you ever taken a picture of your stash?

 

 

I tried to post this last night, but alas, my puters a POS & quit before I could.

 

Anyway, I've got a few pix of buying over the last few months.. the only thing I didn't take pix of was the stash that I had before. But, if ya click on the sub-folder *Moved Out*, you can see some of it... it's stuff that I've either sold on eBay or have listed currently.

There's some other stuff in there too, but definitely some yarn.

 

Maybe later, I can grab pix of some others when I take the newest loot, we'll see

[scc51055]

i sure do l;ikeyour smiley's lot...it looks a lot like the things i would buy!

[Krystal16]

oh... my......

[laughlovehook]

Nght can I come play at your house???

 

:cheer :yay

[angelfire]

Yes, I think a play date is definitely in order.

 

I have be crocheting away this week. I finished 2 skeins on a petticoat, two skeins making golf iron covers for prizes for a golf tournament and a ball making a new stitch marker case as my is MIA, along with my stitchmarker:( but I have + 9 this week

[rlanto]

I think a playdate at Nght's is in the future! That's an amazing stash. Really, a thing of beauty!!!

[Nght]

Absolutely... yarn party at my house this weekend, hubby won't be home!!

[Krystal16]

ooh, you're not TOOO far away from me. I could make it there in a few hours. (I think?)

[tlisley]

Michigan is only 5 hours from New York... definately worth it...lol.

Alas, while I am not Nght, I did buy 11 skeins today. So that's minus 22. But I was mourning over those 6 points I had to throw out and...and... and...

[Krystal16]

Yeah, I know - that sorrow is just enough to make you buy, buy, buy!!!

 

So, I haven't worked with ANYTHING that I could score in a long, long while...

 

I finally have some news to report, not all of which is good.

 

I bought 1 skein of yarn at JoAnns a while back (and didn't score it), AND I found fun fur at my Dollar Tree and bought (ONLY) 6 skeins. So, that's -14. However, I hope to make that up with the schoolbag I'm making DD, which I've already used up a skein on. So, a net of -12.

 

[Krystal16]

oops, forgot that other 4 skeins of yarn that I acquired. -20 net...

[rlanto]

If only I was allowed to move, I would SOOOO be headed to Nght's house!

 

I went to a LYS I hadnt' been to yet - local for me is within an hour. Unfortunately, Dayton isn't really up on the yarn thing. I picked up 14 skeins of yarn!! Whooops. 4 Noro 100% wools for a holiday gift, 5 cottons for SP gifts, and 5 alpaca/silk blends to make a scarf for myself.

 

I realize that I hadn't made anything for myself in a really really long time, so there's no time like the present!! -28!!

[Krystal16]

Used up another ball of blue! +1

[Krystal16]

Another ball bites the dust... +1

[Nght]

I had too much to do after work today to take those pix for ya before hubby got home... so hopefully I can get them tomorrow after work. Otherwise, he won't be home for ½ of the weekend, I can definitely get them then!

[stargazingirly]

+2 i finally used up a skein on a scarf, and +4 from earlier this week, making a baby blanket for yet another baby shower!

[hseger]

Wow Nght I sure wish I had that kind of stash I finally used up 1 ball on my graph ghan. I do some more baby hats tomorrow so hopefully I can knock out a few more balls then.
