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

[Nght]

Uh oh... I don't think I have ever gotten the shoot the moon before... Where's Nght when you need her?

 

 

USING stash to try & help that *almost* -3000 YTD score!!!

Of course, I'm not getting very far but it's a start!

 

If it makes ya feel any better Krystal, I did TRY to buy some the other night, but all we have here is a Joanns, Michaels & Walmart & none of them had anything worth while Besides, your -12 sure beats some of those more than -500 I've had!

 

I couldn't access the 'Ville last night to report my 0 score, but I don't think it mattered

[KellyA]

Ok I thought I was the only one who was confused as to why Nght wasn't the shoot the moon award winner....but I guess there is nothing wrong with sharing

I also notice that it has been quite a while since the postives were higher than the negatives great job everyone and less bust some more stash

[craftytoo]

Linda~ I think the deadline is 8 pm saturdays central time. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

 

That's okay because I didn't bust the ball of black after all. Oh well, I guess I'm starting the week with a -2.

[rlanto]

Wow!! I can't believe I got a gold medal. I thought for sure someone else would have busted more then me! Nothing new to report. I am not feeling well today, so I've been lazing instead of crocheting. Hopefully I'll be back on the wagon soon enough!

[DesertCrocheter]

I missed posting yesterday too, but I had a big fat 0 again, so it doesn't matter. I did finish the scarf, but not the skein! Dang one pounders! Patty

[hseger]

I busted that skein of bamboo so +2 but I may be in trouble again tomorrow. I see HL has the I love this yarn on sale and I need some for some more graphs for Christmas presents.

[krazy-kitty]

Have been AWOL for a while, busy with work and SP stuff, so not really keeping track of things.

 

3 8oz skeins of lilac = 6

3 3oz skeins of mocha = 6

Gifted with 100g of sugar and cream = 2

100g of skin colour = 2

Small ball of violet for my rainbow ripple = 2

2 balls of peach cotten = 4

 

-22

 

Used 2 small balls making a yarn needle case = 2

2 partial balls making hook and stitch marker case = 2

3 full balls of white, 2 balls of mint, 5 partail balls of apple green, 2 balls of sage green, 1 partial ball of dark green making a lapghan = 20

 

So total so far this week is = 2

[laughlovehook]

Last weeks points and this weeks points so far.

 

I bought 3 (3oz) skeins of PINK Caron simply soft -6

I bought 6 skeins of sugar and cream -12 Maybe for my Fall Harvest swap partner!!!

I brought home 3 skeins of Bernat Camo from my shop -6

A total of -24

 

I used 1 skein of Caron simply soft on a baby set +2

I used a skein of black and one of the above 3 oz skeins of pink making myself some slippers +4

I used a skein of RH Grande to make my daughter a purse to match her coat +2

I've used a skein *so far* making my daughter a dress. *1/2 of the skein went to making one for her doll first* +2

I used a ball *1/2 skein* of LB wool-ease making a pair of doll pants, 1/2 a skein making a doll shirt. +2

Then I used up a ball making a 2-strand baby hat +1

A total of +13

 

So right now I'm at a - 9

[Ellie 13]

I used 3/4 of a skein, had to wind the rest into a ball, it was starting to tangle. I have 8 more squares to go on the afghan. That should finish it off. I have 1 more skein, which I hope is enough to make the border of the afghan. I used 3 balls making Christmas stockings during breaks/lunch at work. 4 points so far this week. Hope to finish the afghan by Sat.

[Lavelle26]

I used 3 skeins today for a plus 6.

[hseger]

Well HL didn't do me in yesterday I ended up leaving there without even 1 skein but then I went to Wal-Mart today and while a lot of what they are clearancing isn't anything I want they did have some caron ss tweed for 1.50 a skein so I thought I'd try that in a shrug so I bought 16 skeins of it -32 Oops now I need to add another 16 to my score, only put down 16. I'm trying to sneak it in

[laughlovehook]

Well my yarn order came today...

 

3 skeins of pound of love in teal -6

3 skeins of bernat camo in Pink Camo *hubby thinks I don't need anymore pink yarn, but I didn't have THIS color! * -6

1 ball/skein thing of thread I'm putting it up for sale in the Sale thread, as I needed to order it for a customer and I had to buy in groups of 3's -2

 

So another -14 on my score. This is not going to be a good week. Hopefully I can send off the jiffy from a yarn trade and try to get back some points.

[rlanto]

I finished off a skein yesterday working on my sweater and finished a ball today. Moving slowly this week, just too tired to think about counting stitches!!

[Lavelle26]

Finished 3 more skeins yesterday. Plus 6 for me. Have plans to finish 4 ore today so we will see. GOtta finish as much as I can because I have an order coming in soon.

[tamugrad02]

I finished up a skein of orange yesterday making a scarf (+2)....will probably use up another skein today finishing the scarf and making a matching hat.....slow start to the week so far, but hopefully I can get a decent amount of points.

[Lavelle26]

Well, the bad news is that some lovely yarn made it in the mail today. 5 skeins of it. That makes negative 10 for me. The good news is I worked on a sweater today and used up 4 skeins so a positive 8. That leaves me with a grand total for the day of negative 2. Not bad...not bad considering how bad it could have been. I can get it all back tomorrow.

[hseger]

Well HL got me today I bought 6 skeins for a Christmas present I need to do. I figure since my score is blown for this week I will try to get all the yarn in for the gifts I have to make and work it off in the upcoming months

[angelfire]

I received 11 (-22)skeins for my b'day on Monday and 3 (-6)skeins were gifted by my daughter to use to make purses. I used half of each of those three skeins. for a grand total of -25 so far.

[hseger]

angelfire!! my birthday is Sunday

 

I rolled 2 skeins into balls so +2. barely a dent but at least it's something

[rlanto]

Well, I busted 3 skeins at work and waiting at the doc's, but I got more yarn in the mail today. 24 skeins, I was trying to soooo hard!!!

 

So, that makes +6 - 48 for a grand total of -42 for today.

[Nght]

Finally, I have a few *legitimate* points to report!

+6 for three full skeins on Wiggles on a RR

+6 for 3 skeins of cotton for dishcloths/washcloths

+4 for two full balls of thread for 2 *Mother* filet pieces & another doily almost complete.... for a whopping grand total of +16

[rlanto]

I made it through another skein and that's pretty much it. I doubt I'll get through anything else today. It's Girls Day Out Shopping today, so we're headed out to the outlet malls. I'm not supposed to walk around a lot, so I'll probably bring a project bag and work while they do more shopping. Everynow and again.

 

So, that brings my week score to -37

 

I think that's it!! Have a great weekend everyone!!

[craftytoo]

I've been working on my afghan's but it seems like my skeins' don't get any smaller. They're not pounders, I guess it's because they're 8 ounce skeins. Well hopefully I'll be able to bust my pink today, it seems to be getting smaller. I have a black that I was hoping to bust on my other afghan, but I haven't made it back to the black yet. Oh, well, if I don't bust the pink today, I guess I'll still be at -2 going into next week.:worried:shrug:cry

[DesertCrocheter]

Got rid of 1 skein and 2 balls for a total of +4 this week. Not bad. I'm two-thirds done w/ the second panel of my sister's Christmas tree skirt. Three more (and three more skeins) to go! Patty

[krazy-kitty]

Used 6 partial balls of cream making squares yesterday, so that's another 6 for me this week.

 

Total of 8 so far this week, not sure if I will use any more by 2nite.
