2008 Stashbusting CAL Game (winners posted #1835)

[itzhunic]

I've been a crocheting fool this week! 2 more skeins hit the dust and 3 became balls :yarn:yarn added points to score for this week: +13

[basjordan]

Finished another skein, and rolled one into a ball; WTD - +17,

YTD -85

[Needle Arts]

Ooops

 

WTD: 0 YTD: 29 -- I'm in a slump, nicer weather and have been gardening

[hseger]

I'm going to go ahead and post my score in case I don't get anymore done so I don't forget.

 

 

WTD +2 at least I got out of the -4 hole this week!

[Schmetterling]

I've been crocheting like mad this week though it's hard to tell from my final score...but I worked my way back from a start of -19! I've been crocheting all day and now that I finally got out of the negatives I'm going to give my arm a break.

 

Final score for the week ending 6/21: WTD +1 YTD +72

[CLLinda]

I finished up some hot pink yarn making another bonnet, so that's another 2 points to the positive.

 

I have to see how much I can get done tonight.

 

[LegalWoman17]

Did quite a bit this week, working on a baby afghan. So here is my total for this week.

 

2008 Stashbusting Game: WTD 10 YTD: 366

[sahm2g1b]

Since the only thing I have accomplished this week is to buy more yarn I'm just going to go ahead and post my score for the week:

 

WTD: -189

Yep ~ you read that right! I have 85 new skeins of yarn in my possesion, and I'm proud of it!

 

From now on, my score is going to be positive and I'm going to dig myself out of this very deep hole!

[DreamsOfYarn]

Busted 2 more skeins today. I"m going out in a little while, so I better post my score now in case I'm out too late tonight and miss the deadline.

 

WTD: +20

YTD: +166

[darski]

This week + 20

 

this year -65

 

This was a great week because I got to get rid of all that nasty Simply Soft. I have packed off 8 full skeins and 2 partial skeins of that stuff. My apartment feels better already. finished a couple of my little balls as well. I have to get those patterns written up or else

I have every confidence in you. With all that lovely yarn to play with you won't want to leave the house.

 

I'm expecting great things from you.

I'm glad somebody is!

 

Seriously, I have lots of things planned for Christmas presents! Plus, I have started work on the one that a lady is paying me for! I'll start next week on a postive note!

[Krystal16]

Wel, I hit the JoAnn's clearance. Michael's only had ONE single skein of choco cherry in their clearance basket. One LONELY skein! I think I'm going to hold those points until tomorrow until I can count them all. I'm tired!

[CLLinda]

I worked on my basketweave scarf for the county fair. It's in black, so it's hard on the eyes.

 

I used up another skein tonight, so I will post my score for the week.

 

WTD=+8 YTD=+106

:yarn Thank you!! Thank you!!:manyheart

I had lots of fun unpacking it, running my fingers through it, and then hiding it away for future use! Now I get to have fun working it up!

 

:yayBeth, if you were here, I'd let you come roll in it, too!!:yes

 

Now, onto a new week and positive numbers! I plan to be smokin' this week!

[Krystal16]

Nearly hit that shoot the moon. Thanks, sahm!

[sahm2g1b]

You're very welcome!

I would join in but I have a really large cabinet filled with yarn. enough for five years if i crocheted everyday

You can join. The object is to see how much you use up from your stash. You would get lots of points with a huge stash like you described.

Oh, this is not reason to stop! I started the first Stashbusting CAL in 2007, and I've STILL got a huge closet full of yarn that has spilled out into my other closet as well. After a while, SOME of us actually do start using more yarn than buying... sometimes.

Rolling in yarn sounds like a lot of fun!:yarn:yarn:woo:yarn:yarn:yarn:yarn:yarn

Having a stash to start with is actually an advantage in this game. You don't have to count what you have, just what you use (+2 per skein, +1 for ball) or what you bring into your home (-2 per skein, -1 per ball.) So if you have a bunch to use up, you have the opportunity to score well.

 

That's why I won Shoot the Moon two weeks in a row (not this time, thanks SAHM2G1B!), so I'd have a good starting place to get positive scores! You believe me, right?

[hseger]

Beth you forgot to award yourself the Bronze!!!

 

I'm about to finish another skein.

 

Oh and Krystal I think it's 14 skeins I had to buy for the free shipping

[130chris]
