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

[Nght]

Started on a 2 strand *****-ghan after work today to try & redeem myself, at least partially. So far so good, I think. I've used 10 partials so far & have MANY more to go Hopefully I'll grab some pix tomorrow.

Good thing tho, DD has already claimed the *****-ghan as hers... and hubby has the *nerve* to say, "Hey, I really like that hook you're using, you can use 2 colors of yarn... and use up more at one time"... surely I don't know what he means by that!

Can't wait to see what everyone else tallies in at!

Another slow week, but I used 3 skeins of boucle, working on scarves. 6 + 8 from last Sunday = 14. MINUS the 6 skeins I bought last night @ Ocean State my net score for the week is +2. At least it's positive & I'll keep hooking tonight & tomorrow. Oooh & Monday is a holiday, more hook time for me:cheer

[KellyA]

Well I did better this week than in the past, I think I am just in under the wire

I have been working on charity blitz for Feb. I am on the last blanket

Next month is the scarfs, mittens and hats

I have a head start on that, I should be able to do some bustin

ALSO: If you don't post for 2 weeks in a row, I will be deleting you from my list. That doesn't mean you can't come back in later, though!

 

Congratulations to everyone! We've made it into the black again!

[Krystal16]

A little bit of business here:

 

NOW that I've posted the awards, please reset your weekly score back to "0", and tally up your YTD score to include everything up until now.

 

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE make your "STASHBUSTING SCORE: XX (YTD: ) easy for me to figure out. A couple people are adding things "+ + +" and I'm not quite sure what's the total, what's YTD, etc." You can keep the "+" in there, but make the WTD total so easy that a caveman can read it.. Thanks so much!

[KellyA]

I am happy to hear we are back in the black.

Congrats to all who placed this week!! :cheer

Lets really rock the totals next week!!!

[lilybean31905]

a bit late but I am at 0 i used 1/2 of 2 skeins and bought 1 today so wtd=0

[squish_52]

i hope mine is a-ok for you kyrstal

[andip470]

Since posting my weekly score I've finished 2 more skeins of boucle. Gotta love the extra bulky yarn & a BIG hook. I'm going to hunt for more yarn that works up this quickly.

Ummm, I guess now's not the time to mention that a friend and I are going shopping tomorrow!

[tlisley]

Got here late sorry, I ended up with a +9 for the week.

Changing my sig to make it easier for you to read...lol.

And I'm starting my week with a -4...

[DesertCrocheter]

Sorry, with working on Saturdays and the time change, I couldn't post by the eastern time cut off. I actually wound up minus for the week, since I attended my Project Linus chapter's Make a Blanket Day. I picked up a kit to crochet a blanket there, and it had 4 skeins, so my +2 for the week turned into a -6. Sorry I'm messing up the totals you already tallied for the week, Krystal.

 

Two weeks in the red in a row--go, me! patty

[gavinsmom]

I just realized I reported mine wrong.... woops sorry .... i was at -7 for the week and 2 yearly .... i think i have my head on straight now

[Krystal16]

ooh, I didn't mean to sound PICKY, it's just there were a couple I couldn't figure out and I wanted to give people the right credit!

 

I finished that little ball of white that I was working on with my Blue Star! So I get to start off the week with a point already!

[Krystal16]

We did great this week!! Go us!!

 

I have to share this, cause I'm very proud of myself...I was out last night with a girlfriend of mine...and she's a crafter too, so of course we wound up in AC Moore...and we walked through the whole store and we were in the yarn section for a while cause she was picking some yarn out...and I touched, but I did not put ANY of the yarn in my basket...and she asked me if I was not buying yarn to avoid the loss of points LOL!! But I made it out of the store without ANY yarn or hooks or patterns even!!

 

I'm off to eat breakfast and then it's back to the hooks!! DH is pointing out to me that if I keep going this way, I'm going to run out of stash and then I'll just blow all my YTD points by buying a new stash...but I'm okay with that!!

3 weeks in the black - I guess that's worth something:D

 

Now if I could just increase my productivity.... I have so many WIPs going

 

My dh sweater is on hold, as I wait for the designer to get back to me about a pattern problem...

 

So I started a vest for him - 6 days til his bday

 

But I'm still working on my CAL vintage motif sweater

 

and I started swatching for a sweater for my 5yo dd for a wedding...

 

Why can't i finish any skeins?!?!?

[Breger3]

I know I'm WAY late to report my totals, but doing for the sake of it. I got 18 points for using yarn, BUT! I went yarn shopping on Friday, and bought 26 skeins. Sooooo My total for the week is -34. I'll be on the plus side next week!!!

[Krystal16]

Breger3 - it's a good thing you didn't report in! You would have had the SHOOT THE MOON award....You'll have to ask Nght if she'd like to surrender the title or display the award proudly...

I went into my LYS friday night to pick up my newest Brittany hook (they had ordered me a G/7 4.5mm hook)... there was sign on the door saying Dale of Norway was 15% off and the sale loft was 25% off. I never left the front register. I paid for my hook and left to meet dh & kids for dinner.

 

Why can't I have this much willpower when it comes to chocolate?

used another ball making a 12" square for a fellow villager for her comfortghan, maybe i will do a few more and use a bit more and then will have a bunch to send her!
