2008 Stashbusting CAL Game (winners posted #1835)

[CLLinda]

I read last night so no points for me.

 

It's kind of a balance. Do I crochet or read? I love both!

 

[Krystal16]

LInda - Audiobooks. Then you can do both!

[zeropixie]

Either I just don't crochet enough to get rid of it or I forget to keep track as I use it or maybe it's just this new less is more lifestyle but keeping score is not as fun as it was in the begining to the point were I was starting to avoid crocheting ,so I think it would be a good idea for me to drop out of this game for now. Good luck to everyone, keep it up

:cheer

haven't posted in a bit but here are my numbers for this week:

 

5 1/2 skeins of Moda Dea Cheerio in Amethyst - used for bottom up pineapple shawl

2 1/2 skeins of Jaegar Roma yarn in Leaf - WIP tank top

 

WTD = 15 YTD = 109

[CLLinda]

LInda - Audiobooks. Then you can do both!

 

Great idea. I'll try that.

 

[Schmetterling]

Gifting some more of my stash for +4.

ILTY is 7 ounce solid and 5 ounce variegated skeins.

It is softer than RHSS, but I have had some problems with it pilling and fuzzing after using it for a short time. Washing it didn't help.

 

Just so you know, each skein is worth 2 points, so if you bought 15 skeins, that would be -30.

 

Each skein bought is a negative 2 points, and when you use or give away a skein, it is positive 2 points.

Check the first post of this thread for the scoring.

 

Have Fun!! We are...well, most of the time

 

Rats, you weren't supposed to catch that

[alwayscrafting]

Oh yeah, I forgot I was gifted a skein in my summer scarf swap! Have to subtract 2 more points!

[Krystal16]

OK, so finally counted up the skeins I bought on saturday... 11... -22

[CLLinda]

So far, i'm still in line for the "Shoot the moon" with my -24. Someone has to beat this. Come on now!

It's not gonna be me this time! Sorry!

 

I'm still at +2 for the week. I have not had a lot of time to this week!

[Krystal16]

It depends on how fast my craftsetc.com order comes in... there are 14 more skeins in that bundle!

[CLLinda]

And the prices on the clearance rack were so good, that I might be tempted to stop back in on the way home from the Y this morning, after my workout. Hobby Lobby can hinder my score this week, that's for sure.

My evil, evil daughter HAD to go to Joann's for something. And she can't drive yet, so I HAD to take her, and four skeins of yarn followed me to the register, so I HAD to buy it....

 

WTD -8, YTD -93.

[hseger]

busted 1 ball finally it's been hanging around for what seems like forever!! +1 more points.

[Krystal16]

I'm with you, Heather - I haven't made ANY points yet this week!

[CyM]

Why does Big Lots do this! They have such nice pretty yarns that I can't buy at Michael's and Hobby Lobby - and only a dollar!! -8 for me, but at least I didn't spend much money!

[CLLinda]

I was so good. Even though the clearance rack in the store was calling my name as I drove by, I stayed out of Hobby Lobby. It took real willpower. I just don't know if I can stay strong for the rest of the week.

 

[alwayscrafting]

I wish my Big Lots had yarn (or do I?) I had to take some Amish ladies to Goodwill to day and I found a bag of some kind of wool blend something. Haven't taken it out yet, but figure when I get it frogged it will be some cool looking stuff. When I frog it I'll add it to my score.

Boy, good thing I'm not Krystal!!! I'd be losing to Wendy. That's 2 weeks in a row now that I bought yarn.

[darski]

Ok folks, we need to get our story straight in case anybody should ask.

 

Did Darski really come in here and admit that she bought 4 more skeins of yarns today.

 

There is no way that she is going to have a score of minus 30 this week, just couldn't happen ... right

 

 

the minute I looked into that silver cup something happened to me that I just can't explain

 

 

Edited to add: The good news is that I just finished a skein and two more are likely to go by Saturday

 

[CLLinda]

I sure hope Darski beats me this week. I guess that's the problem of shopping on Mondays. No one wants to take the honor away.

 

I sure hope someone buys some more.

 

[basjordan]

Am I still doing scores this week? I hope HappyOldCro isn't going into Crotchetville withdrawal. I'd be a wreck going without this long!!!

[Ellie 13]

Good news: I did a lot of over the last four days. I used 3 balls during my trip to Boston on Sat. (+3). It Sun. Mon. and Tue. afternoon, so I . Used 2 balls and rolled a skein (+3) . Bad news: my friend brought a bag of yarn Tue. 5 skeins, 2 half skeins and 10 balls! - 22 . Good news: I only kept 2 skeins brown and a 1/2 skein tan (good for teddy bears). I donated the rest to the knitters at the senior center . So, 6 + 17 - 5 = + 18

WTD Score: + 18
