2008 Stashbusting CAL Game (winners posted #1835)

[hseger]

One more ball finally busted. +1 point! Now it's going to slow down some

[DreamsOfYarn]

Just busted a skein on a shawl I just finished.

+8

I started crocheting again! It's good therapy. So I will try to get it to a positive number by Saturday night. It felt good to get back into my normal routines today. It's going to take a while, but I know my Dad wants me to go on with my life. It just will take time.

 

And I crocheted at the swim meet, just like I always do.

 

It felt good.

Welcome back to crocheting! I most certainly agree about crochet being therapy. A group of us stitching moms get together once a week. We either call our group "The Guild" or "Therapy" depending on our week.

 

My boys swim, too. Swim meets and practices are a great place to get some crocheting done.

 

I busted a skein today. I have a good start on one for tomorrow, too!

 

WTD +4, YTD -151.

Wow! That's gorgeous. My daughter says it reminds her of a dream catcher.

[CLLinda]

I used up a skein today. It feels good to be back in the swing of crocheting. Now I'm only at -8.

 

[JennyBunny]

Bought yarn yesterday for gifting and crocheting (-6)... almost through one skein already though.

[basjordan]

I finished a skein today. My WTD is +6. I'm working with boucle now, and having a time getting it right.

[itzhunic]

Oh Tia, that afghan is gorgeous!!

I'm bouncing back and forth between so many projects right now that I'm not making much progress with yarn busting.

However, I did use up 3 small balls for circles of hope to send to Angelfire!

+6 + 3 = +9

[Tia]

Thanks basjordan & itzhunic!

 

I bought 5 skeins today so I could remake that afghan to figure how much yarn is used, recheck the pattern and see how long it takes to make. Then I will have it tested.

 

So -10 for that.

[econ-nerd]

I'm spending most of my time attaching squares to my quilt-ghan and have not used up much of anything except for one small ball for +1. I doubt I'll be in the running for any awards this week but at least I'm not buying

[angelfire]

I used up two skeins and three balls making a graph ghan for an auction, and a pounder making rectangles,along with a skein assembling an afghan for FA awareness, for a total of +11 WTD

[dragonpuck]

not much happening - i am working on three projects all using BIG skeins

 

hope to have a couple busted out by this evening:hook

[hseger]

Well so much for staying on track this week!

 

I went to HL and came home with 11 skeins of yarn Granted all but one skein is spoken for on a project so that will get used unless I change the colors on the one project before I get to it.

 

-22 + 4 = -18

[DreamsOfYarn]

Just used a skein on a baby blanket

+10

[Ellie 13]

Tia, I'm glad the yarn was what you needed Very lovely afghan. I made 2 spiders, used up a ball (+1) . I made some pins, but the orange is not going fast (about 1/8 skein used ). I have to make a hat out of plarn for a friend. If I make the plarn, do I count it as gained stash ?

WTD Score: + 1

I met with some friends to crochet tonight, and left my current project at home. I had yarn for a two-strand purse in my bag, so I started on that. I managed to finish a ball and a skein. And it's much more fun that working with that boucle, so I may stick to it! My WTD is +9. My YTD is -146.

[hseger]

I rolled a skein of cotton into a ball for 1 point! I'll take any points I can get

[dragonpuck]

YEA:cheer

three more skeins down WTD +8

[Marzee]

Still can't get over those of you who go through whole skeins in one day. Simply amazing!

 

This week I busted a partially used skein of RHSS Windsor Blue (+2) and a small ball of generic black (+1). Rolled one ball (+1) of varigated/ombre [dark reds, greens, blues, shading in between with white/off white, have to find out what that is called. Do I risk taking it to Jo-Ann to find out? ]

 

Stashbusting CAL: WTD: +4/YTD: -3

[hseger]

used up a little ball +1 Will get to add another little ball soon!

[CLLinda]

Used up two skeins on my baby blue afghan. It's a simple dc pattern so it uses up a lot of yarn quickly.

 

[hseger]

finished off that 2nd little ball another 1 point down

[angelfire]

finished off another skein and a ball making rectangles for the troops +3

WTD +14
