[jollyrancher418]

I'm at 5 for the week. I haven't bought any new yarn, but I didn't crochet that much either.

[angelfire]

Last night I made a dishtowel and dishcloth to match for a neighbor using tow skeind os Sugar and Cream...+4 and then today I made two yes two Nordstrom bag Knock-offs using two skeins each of Lion Brand Jiffy+ 8 with that 8 points I did have that puts me at a

WTD 20

[Jimmie Lu]

Pheww!!! I did up some stuff and finished enough skeins to have my weekly score at 0 thats right 0!!!

[scc51055]

my total for the week is 15.....

[Breger3]

My total is -51 I gave in to temptation.

[KellyA]

For me this week is one yes that's right one point

I guess I'll go update my siggy

[Nght]

I know I'm a lit'l late, but we were car shopping & just got home!

I added 8 new skeins to my collection today, but I realllllyyyyy needed them! So -16 more for me for a whopping grand total for the week of -210

[AngelFairy]

So my score for the week is -17

WTD-17, YTD-29

Now off to watch the version of Superman and to make a

dent to my stash and score. See you later.

[kellyrox]

Well my score for the week is 17, woohoo! The most it's ever been. Sunday I'm going yarn shopping though, so I'll hafta dig myself out of a hole, but I think I can manage. Someday, I will get another drawer cleaned out...

This picture is for crap but I just got a new cam and haven't figured it out well yet.

[hseger]

I only had 2 points for last week hopefully I'll get more this week at least I was in the positives this week lol.

[KnicKnac]

Gosh, I was nowhere near a computer last night to post my score. Oh well! Can you just post me anyway so that I didn't miss a week Kyrstal?

 

26 for the week.

[Krystal16]

I got you in there KnicKnac!

 

I've been trying to go back to the previous week's post and make my way forward to the end of the posts and pull scores off of sigs.

 

I'm HOPING to keep in the positives this week. I'm not making ANY great strides, but if I can bust through a few skeins each week, I'll be doing OK!

[Nght]

I'll really try better this week

But when I work so many hours, it's just easy to buy more than it is to actually use yarn

[Doula4U]

I know I am late. My hubby decided we were going up the pass last night (into the mountains) so I had no time to post. But thought I would let you all know I did really bad anyway.

 

I think yesterday alone I picked up 6 skeins here and there. And I know I didn't "take care" of any this week at all. So that is -12.

 

I don't have to count the yarn my 11yo daughter picked up for herself right?

 

~LL~

[scc51055]

gave away 2 more skeins....+ 4 to start the week

[Krystal16]

OK. Someone here posted pictures of their stash last week. I thought this was a good idea. I have a "closet" that is devoted to my yarn. Only because the room used to be a bedroom with a 2'x4'x8' closet, and it's really for the computer and stuff. Well, the problem is that I can NO LONGER close the door! Every last corner of this closet is crammed with yarn - including the corner that you can't see - it's stacked to the ceiling with boxes of yarn!

 

I'll be in this thread a while.... I am NOT buying any more yarn. If I get some as gifts, that's OK - I'll use that up, too. And I just can't, in good conscience, give any of this away!

 

Oh, and I probably have a good tote full of yarn in different places around the house - all the stuff that's associated with my WIPs!

 

[MrsCrochetPants]

I have a RIDICULOUS-ly Large Stash - I've accumulated this over the past TWO YEARS! I believe my Shed is about 10 foot by 8 foot and there is barely enough room to walk in there!

 

I have a tote for each color of yarn -

• 
  Brown/Black
  
  Blue
  Pink
  
  Red
  
  Purple
  
  Yellow/Orange
  
  Green
  
  Ombre (2)
  
  Sport Weight (2)
  
  Neutrals
  Cotton
  
  Miscellaneous that hasn't found it's home yet!
  
  

A lot of my crochet thread I also wound into balls and put in containers by Color

 

I've also got a Barrel Drum Size Trash can Liner full of yarn that's been wound but there is no room in my Totes! Also a Ziploc XXL? Bag and a Few L Bags that have no place to go!

The thought behind my shed was nice but I've just out-grown it!

 

Hopefully when I get my new house in April/May I'll have a way to get it all organized!!!

[Krystal16]

Mrs. CrochetPants - do you enjoy seeing all of your yarn, or have you gotten to the point where you're thinking "I need to USE this, and stop buying! What am I buying for?" That's where I'm at. It will bring me joy to bring my stash down to a manageable level! I don't like it all over the place, and knowing that I haven't gotten to some of this beautiful stuff, and then I buy MORE beautiful stuff!

[MrsCrochetPants]

That doesn't include the 2 totes I have of specialty yarn and all the new balls of thread I just got last week! I have a Serious Problem!!!

[MrsCrochetPants]

I LOVE seeing my yarn but I need to get it down to a more manageable level! I have a problem with using it though, I forget that the point of having it is to make stuff with it, not just to Have it!

 

My husband is really patient with me when It comes to my yarn, even though he tells me ALL THE TIME, You don't need any more yarn, but if something goes on sale, or If I go to a second hand shop and they have yarn at a reasonable price I have to buy it, I can't let someone else have it!

 

I am also the same way with my Crochet Library!!! I have over 600 crochet pattern Leaflets, Books and magazines!!! But yet I still go online and print out patterns lol! I will not pass up the chance to buy a new crochet leaflet if I find one on sale!

 

When I finally get my new house it will be soooo much better! I have a room that is Floor to Ceiling Book Shelves on one wall (should be more than enough for my Crochet Library)

[scc51055]

i love seeing all that yarn i thought i had a lot but it only fills 4 wicker laundry baskets!

[Vibey]

The way you have your stash organised by colour is fantastic, Pamela!
