[scc51055]

thanks for doing this angel fire.....i have been slacking in poeting my weekly points in an easy way for you to find them! i promise to do better next week!

[hseger]

Thanks again Angelfire! I've been slacking too I'll get it up next week! We just got done with our Christmas with DH's family.

[Nght]

 

I really hope Nght went shopping! I need someone to save me from Shoot the Moon!

 

 

Nope sorry, I started my Xmas shopping after work yesterday... ::coff::

not quite done either, heading back out sometime today. Other than that, I'm just working & working & WORKING! (real work, not crocheting, unfortunately!) I seem to be a lit'l *off* this year.

[DesertCrocheter]

I did it! I finally finished that dang scarf! So I'm beginning the week +2. But I'm more excited about finishing this scarf; I made it for the Vets and I've been waiting to send off my scarves till I finished this one. Phew! Patty

I've been making purses for my coworkers all week and some little wreath coasters for another friend, but I'm not using up yarn real fast......but, I finished all I could before Christmas on the coasters and gave her back the excess yarn so +5 there!! That was the easiest +5 ever.....

 

Do y'all realize that in about 8 days we get to reset our year-to-date scores!?!?!? Are we going to keep this going into the new year?

I used up 2 skeins on a last minute Cardi for DD, which she didn't end up wearing anyways... little stinker. +4

[Warrior Maiden]

*looks around desperately with her head just peeking over the stash of yarn* Help?!

 

You know, I've been watching my stash grow higher and higher lately, especially with the holidays happening. I think I need some encouragement to get rid of it somehow before adding to it. C'mon who's with me? Who's my cheering squad?

[Super Granny]

received 4 skeins of yarn as a christmas gift... -8 used up a couple of balls and rolled one ... + 3 ...for a total of -5 for today... I better get some more squares made....

[Ellie 13]

It's Christmas eve and I got all the penguins and snowmen done - 1 skein, 2 balls (+4). I got out a plarn ball I made a while back. I'm making a tote bag. I made one before and gave it to my mom, this one I hope to keep (LOL). Does a large plarn ball count as a skein or a ball?

I've finished six skeins tonight. I'm making good progress on my roommate's sweater. I've had to refab a lot with it, but I think it'll be really interesting and unique.

[hseger]

I finally finished off a skein tonight so +2.

I'm definately in for carrying on next year. After this year my stash grew by 300 skeins I need this more now than ever

[Warrior Maiden]

Started the finish up work on a baby blanket I've been making for charity. Got a skein down to a ball, so +1 for me. Yay!

[Super Granny]

well I think christmas has put me in the hole... I received 17 skeins of yarn as gifts... I don't care it is all beautiful yarn that I wouldn't buy for myself anyway.. I did use a skein of yarn yesterday I'm making a baby blanket for the doll my grandgirl got yesterday...

[angelfire]

I used up two more skeins making 6x9 rectangles for charity, these are going for soldiers as I think they are great colors for them. I plan on working on some more on the trip home tonight, maybe I can finish off another skein. +4

[Adriann]

Yes i wonder if we can start a 2008 stash-busting CAL/game for the new year? It helps too because this thread is getting a bit unwieldy AND so many people got an avalanche of yarn this Christmas!

[econ-nerd]

I'm game for starting from scratch in 2008. My score this year wasn't too bad (or good ). I did manage to use up quite a few skeins and balls over the past few days and am at +13 for the week (so far!) and +33 for the year.

[Warrior Maiden]

I'm all for starting fresh for '08.

[tamugrad02]

I would love to get out of the negatives before next year, but it's not going to happen.....I got one skein of yarn for Christmas (that's it!!!!!??? ) so -2 there.....

[scc51055]

i am going to ask in this thread too....

does anyone have mainstays pounders in green multi that they are willing to sell? i will gladly pay the shipping!

 

I want to continue on in the new year as we have been doing...see no reason to change...want to get to 0! hahaha!

[DesertCrocheter]

I started stashbusting when Krystal started this last January, so I was only planning on participating until my 'anniversary' date of Jan, 22. But I think it's a good idea to start over in 2008, why not? That's only 3 weeks early for when I was going to end anyway, and it's a nice, easy-to-remember date for those of you who will still be on the quest to tame the stash! Patty

[laughlovehook]

I dont see why we wouldn't start over from Zero at the new year? Seeing as we have WTD *week to date* and YTD *year to date* scores. Wouldn't that mean that it would start over yearly? And since we all didn't join at the same time, everyones "year" would be different. So starting over Jan. 1st would keep it from being too confusing.

[Ellie 13]

I used up 2 large (almost bowling ball size) plarn balls. I have 2 smaller to go. since they took me 4 (+/-) hrs to make, can I count the large ones as skeins?

Starting over is O.K. with me. You can always keep your YTD as final score '07. Then you can try to beat it in '08.

I understand that starting a new thread would be good for the newcomers. If we want to start over on January 1st, maybe we should not post scores this Saturday, but New Year's Eve instead as a celebration.

[HappyOldCro]

I would like to join if we start new in Jan. Do we take inventory of what stash we now have (oh boy!!!!) or start with 0?

This past year ('07) we started with 0, I assume that's how we would do it again, but I could be wrong. I'm all for posting on New Years Eve instead of Saturday.....
