[DreamsOfYarn]

My dh and I had a huge fight over yarn taking over the house. SO I had to get rid of a bunch of balls. Bagged them up and took them to the nursing home for the ladies to use up.

 

wtd=+128

It was so hard to part with some of this yarn, but I had to.

 

Still working on cleaning up. I'm sad about having to get rid of so much yarn.

 

Linda, I'm so sorry to hear that.

You must have had a huge stash to have to give up that much yarn.

I hope they were small balls of yarn and not big skeins.

WTD -15

my second silver

i am starting to see holes in the racks on my walls- now if i can just resist the urge to fill them up again

i have avoided the clearance at walmart -as i don't really like simply soft and i am good, for a while on border colors ,but this will be a busy month -hoping to stay at least +100 YTD

[basjordan]

I finished a one-pound cone of cotton today!!! I'm still in a bit of shock that I actually found the end. +2 for this WTD!!!

[hseger]

I'm starting off the week with 2 skeins busted! I found and won an ebay auction for the 4 skeins for my Mom's shawler but as soon as it comes in it will be gone pretty quick and that's all I plan to buy this week.

[Mollyanna]

I just discovered your game. I have become a stasher for the first time in my life, so this sounds like just the thing to help me regain control. Is is OK to join this late in the year?

[DreamsOfYarn]

I had a great crochet day today.

Made a 2 strand rectangle shawl and busted 4 skeins of yarn.

+8

[Tia]

I'm having a great crochet day too...those 3SUB's really bust some stash!

 

+9 so far today.

It's fine to join now. The directions are in the first post. On Saturday before midnight, please post your weekly total in big, bold, colorful numbers so it is easy to see for the scorekeeper. If you have any questions, ask away!

[clocke]

I'm hooking along but it doesn't look like I'll be making any changes in my score this week... Unless I get a whole of lot free time in the week.

[dragonpuck]

-6 today:( had to get some border material but stull have the rest of the week to get ahead again!

[hseger]

I rolled a skein into a ball finishing my spiral afghan! +1 more point. Now if I don't get any yarn this week I should be well on my way to a positive week

[econ-nerd]

I needed to buy some more white to do a bunch of squares and the trim on baby afghans I am making - bought four skeins (-8) so far.

[hseger]

all I can say is -22 today.

HL was putting out some more yarn that I just had to have on clearance

 

I rolled a skein into a ball for +1 more point.

[basjordan]

I busted a skein of wool on the scarf I'm making, so my WTD is +4, my YTD is -168.

[dragonpuck]

just HAD to get some of the new RH fleck-

 

so now -16 this week- guess i'd better get busy:crocheting

[Ellie 13]

After all the last week I was on Fri. I stayed home and . Did the same on Sat. I used 5 balls . Sun. I went shopping, but only got the pins, no . The last couple of days were nice enough, so I went biking after work, not much . A lady at work wants me to make a baby afghan, so I'll be busting some skeins soon .

WTD Score: + 5

Well I was plugging away on my 3SUB and adding points to my score all day. Then I decided to take a break and go through and organize my stash.

 

I found some wip's-gone-wrong and decided it was about time I frogged them. So doing that and winding them up into balls means I must subtract 5 now.

[jeannie1205]

Used up 10 skeins of Bernat Ping Pong on a half moon shawl. Ran out of the yarn so had to end it shorter.

 

 

 

WTD = +20 YTD = +267
