2008 Stashbusting CAL Game (winners posted #1835)

[angelfire]

I used three skeins making rectangles, then I frogged an afghan I had 70 rows into and gave the yarn to my daughter ( I hadn't count them as used yet) so I will count that as two "cakes". +8 more for a total of 73 wtd

[JennyBunny]

Another cone down! another +4 for this week.

 

Have along commute to a job interview tomorrow, So I wouldn't be surprised if I can manage another skein or two. (Have a couple of pairs of socks I should get started.)

[CLLinda]

I rolled another 2 balls while making my scarecrow.

 

I'm doing pretty good. Even went to Wallyworld and ignored the yarn trying to jump in the cart.

I think I will have to sit out this week as I would get the shoot the moon .

 

maybe if I could that I am not home yet so the yarn is not in my house do I have to count it yet?

I had a terrific morning at my crochet/knitting group. Something I look forward to each week. Used up the rest of the skein working on a burial gown. So add another 2 points on the positive this week.

Many thanks Ellie & Krystal!

 

I really appreciate the suggestions that you gave about what to do with these WIPs/UFO's/Booklets that came with the stash I was given. Not to mentioon the information as to when/how to count the resulting yarn from modifications.

 

I think I will whip stitch four of the squares (x2) into 10" blocks and add to make two 12" squares. The remaining two I'm not sure...maybe increase to 6" using yarn from the "learning" squares.

 

I've never been to the "For Sale, Trade or Free" section or the "RAOK" section, so I'll have to go find them. Something new to peruse.

I was gifted two of the 12 ounce skeins of Sugar N Cream.

A friend went to Michael's and they were marked down to 2.99, so she was getting 4. When the cashier rang them up, they rang up at .79 . So she ran back and got them all .

+3
