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

[Lavelle26]

Oh My. I forgot about the two weeks thing. I still have time to up my score!

[tamugrad02]

I've been slacking a little bit on the crochet....but I have been sewing....good thing I don't lose points for fabric and patterns.....Well, I used up two more balls on my scrapghan so +2 for me!! I'm focussing on summer clothes right now.....I've gained weight (ugh ) over the winter, so I'm making a buncg of clothes to wear......I crocheted one tank top last week and I'm going to crochet another one and sew a few more. Then, if the weather ever gets nice again, I will have some clothes that actually fit!!

YAY!!! +3 for me!! I finished my blue and yellow ripple! Well i still need to weave in the ends before i post a picture, but it turned 3 -1 lb skeins into balls! and it looks pretty great if i do say so myself:D

 

I'll post a picture when I have the ends in!

[Lavelle26]

I finished another ball of thread today so that's another +2 for me. Yay!

Hi Stashbusters, Just wanted to let you know that I have decided to drop out of this group. I have busted most of my stash :clap and just have too many things going on right now. I will still be stopping by to see how everyone else is doing and I will still be active on the other threads.

 

Thank you all for helping me get rid of my extra supply of yarn. Who knows, if it starts growing again, I may be back!

[Bizzyboppers]

Hey Jackie- good luck with your other projects! Who knows, you just might need this CAL by the end of the year?!?

 

I have received 0 points again. I purchased 5 balls of cotton..and used 5 balls of cotton...

I'm working on getting rid of some today but I bought another 8 skeins today for another -16 I think I'm quickly getting out of control.

This isn't until the first week in May, but for once I thought ahead. We'll be away at a wedding the week before and then my dd's 5th b-day is that week.

 

In anycase, I've been stash busting to do these quickie gifts. The kids helped a LOT in picking both pattern and yarn (story here)

 

First a shawl for one teacher 1.5 skeins = 3 pts

(clickable)

 

And a scarf for another teacher 0.5 skein = 1 pt

we're still working on the mittens for teacher #3

I've been doing pretty good this week. Although a lot slower then the last two weeks. Haven't been posting everyday, but I've done a lot of more stashbusting with those lovely lovely scrapghans. My kitten, Amber, has adopted the newest one. I'll have to take a picture of the chubs sleeping on it. She gets possessive whenever I pick it up to work on it.

 

But just to update a bit before I change the signature, I've done 5 more balls and 1 skein today! I'm sure I'll have a lovely score to post by the end of Thursday. I will be at the hospital most of the day waiting for my roommate to get out of surgery. She's having a cyst removed from her wrist and I am driving her home.

[Lavelle26]

I am gifting someone with 5 balls of my thread so that is plus 10 for me.

Went out to Michaels today to pick up something specific. Now, while I was there I mozied over to the yarn section. I had two skeins of yarn in my hand. Guess What?!!!!!!

 

I PUT THEM BACK!!

[jollyrancher418]

Well AC Moore was having a 20% off all yarn sale, and I needed to pick up 2 skeins to finish 2 blankets and some yarn for a baby blanket. I ended up buying 6 skeins for -12, but 2 of them happen to be from the 1lb mill end bags. One of the skeins looks like a football its so big!

 

Hopefully I'll rack some points up these next few days and at least get out of the negatives and maybe even finish a few projects.

[tamugrad02]

Well, stashbusting is going VERY slowly this week.....I've only used 1 ball since the last time I posted (+1), but I'm working on another skein of the same yarn now, so hope fully I will have some more points later tonight.

[KnicKnac]

It's been one of those weeks again for me...

 

Crocheting up a storm, and not finishing any skiens. UGH!!!

[coolhockeymom]

I have used in one way or another 20 skeins of yarn ,but I have very little to show for it but a empty tub yay for me ..

 

 

20 points so far

[jollyrancher418]

I just threw away 19 balls of yarn that somehow got tangled together (I blame the eyelash yarn). It just wasn't worth trying to save any of it. I guess my ball winder doesn't work as well as I thought. So that counteracts all the yarn I bought today!

[hseger]

I used up 4 balls and 1 skein today and yesterday finally all that crocheting I've been doing this week is starting to get points.

[stargazingirly]

+2 more for me! I made three wash clothes experimenting with peaches and cream cotton! I think they look pretty neat! This one is my favorite, just because the red kinda striped rather than being random.

[rlanto]

I was a bit busy again today. I took care of 4 skeins and 3 balls. Felt good too!!!! So that's 11 points for me!

[MrsCrochetPants]

I've been working on a pillow cover to match my 3SUB - I went through 20 balls of yarn yesterday! I want to make another one too, I probably won't do that much today, I've gotta go to the other house, and help pack GG things.

[renegade]

Not so much crocheting for me this week. Also, my score won't go up between now and Saturday, since I'm driving up to Ft. Worth first thing in the morning for the weekend.

It was a light rain when I got to the library, now it's SNOWING!!!

I made a dress for the doll and a pig for a Chinese friend (year of the pig). She wants me to make a moose. Does anyone have a stuffed moose pattern? I made afghans for my sisters when they turned 45. My brother was reminded he'll be 45 in Oct. so he asked "do I get one too?" Could be a great stash buster (he's large) if I have enough yarn. LOL. Hope I don't need to buy any.

I used one more ball for +1 but bought 2 more skeins today for -4. I hope now I have all the yarn I need for awhile.

[CLLinda]

And more stash used. 3 balls and four hats made! Yahoo! 3 more points this week. And after last week, with only one, this week is going great!

I finished the Shunky bag & earned 3 more points. Now off to work on the baby afghan. The baby is now overdue by 4 days:eek
