[clocke]

I finished up a bath rug (used up 8 balls of yarn).

 

And we'll see how long I can stave off the desire to visit the yarn store. Lol!

[dragonpuck]

used two skeins and a ball on scarves for Special Olympics:woo:woo:woo

 

i am plus again!!!

[Ellie 13]

I found a ball of orange and used it up making pumpkin pins (+1). I also found some spiders (the crochet kind ). so maybe I won't need to get more . My Christmas yarns might be used or balled up by Sat.

WTD Score: + 6

[basjordan]

I finished another skein today. These 1.75 oz. skeins go so fast compared to the RHSS. MY WTD is -6, my YTD is -192.

After reading about Baby Bear Hugs accepting yarn donations in the Crochet for Charity section, I saw the opportunity to de-stash a bunch of baby yarn that I seem to have accumulated: 5 skeins and 5 balls. In addition I used up two balls of red on a five round granny square, a fourth round and a saltine. (They were really small balls .) So a little math puts me at:

 

Stashbusting CAL Score:

WTD: +17

YTD: +9 :jumpyay

[CLLinda]

I busted through a skein today. +2

 

I am posting early because I have a busy day tomorrow. Taking the kids to Six flags for the day. I'll bring some crochet and find some nice places to relax at the theme park. Maybe ride the train and other wimpy rides. Not much of a rollercoaster fan any more. But the kids will have a great time and that's what's important.

 

+6 wtd +76 ytd!

At least I am in the plus side this week!

 

[DreamsOfYarn]

I finally finished off a cone of cotton.

+4

[angelfire]

WTD 29

My daughter took 100 of my misc balls and "caked" them for a scrapghan. She has now made 15 cakes, which I gave to her, so that takes care of 15 points, I used 4 skeins making rectangles for another 8 points. for a total of 23 today.

[basjordan]

I finished another skein on RHSS last night. I'm at a WTD of 0, which makes me very happy.

[basjordan]

I got a couple skeins finished this morning. WTD +4, YTD -182.

[angelfire]

I recreived 11 skeins in the mail for a total of -22 and used 1 skein and one ball making rectangles for +3 = -19 for the day and

+10 WTD

[walker1021]

Last week my score was so terrible (-262) which made my YTD score look hopeless (-285). I was determined to get it looking a little better this week. So I dug out partial skeins and little balls to use them up quickly by making granny squares. Now I am feeling better. I may still be in the negatives for my YTD score, but that is o.k.

WTD Score +34!!!!!

[walker1021]

I finally finished off a cone of cotton.

+4

Doesn't it feel like such an accomplishment to get to finish one of those cones off? Kinda reminds me of the old Tootsie Roll commercials with the owl....How may licks does it take to get to the center of the lollipop? lol

[JennyBunny]

About halfway done with my King size blanket and I've busted 3 balls of yarn.

 

But some of the yarn I ordered for Christmas socks arrived, so my total for the week is

 

-1

[appy_lover]

Well I got to +11 this week!! Yeah!!! All of that was used up in my crochet games quest to fill a tote with items to sell. I am pretty happy with my progress. Currently there are 18 items in the tote...5 scarves, 10 hats, and 3 baby bassinet purses. I have another scarf on the hook and am moving forward.

[jeannie1205]

Add another 2 points for my weekly score (TLC cotton for slipstitch scarf)

 

WTD = +7 YTD = +167

[hseger]

I'm about to bust half of this 2nd big ball of thread finishing up my filet for the games. Then I can put it away for awhile I'm going to go ahead and add the point to my score and post it now so I don't forget later tonight
