[130chris]

I finished my puppy blanket today,,,one ball gone YAY +1 for me but I bought those 10 skeins yesterday -20 WTD now -11 eeeks Better get that hook smokin' tonite !!

[HappyOldCro]

So far I'm at a big fat +0 for the week... C'mon motivation... where are you???

 

:cheerGo thru some books, and see if some of the patterns help you, I'm cheering for you, go nikki go....

 

but now I don't want to because several of the yarns I would have given away are the ones I used last night! If I had done that, I would have had to go BUY more yarn to make this scarf and been right back where I am now, only I would have been out more money.

Some one talk me down PLEASE! I want to keep all of my stash! It's mine and you can't have it! I just need more bins and I will be fine....

I just did an inventory of all my stash today, with thoughts of selling or giving some of it away. I'm not the one to talk you down, cause I came up with the same conclusion..."Just another tub, I'll be OK, I really like this one, I don't want to part with it...."

HELP!!!!!

:(

[HappyOldCro]

Oh, I forgot, did a little on rug, finished off another skein. Rug yarn goes fast!!

+1 today.

[angelfire]

I received a swap packagetoday with three skeins of yarn, one is banana silk, another angora/alpaca blend and then a skein of wool to dye. -6.

I did use up two balls though +2. I was really trying to get out of the negatives.

WTD 30

My mom, being the helpful person she is, brought me the AC Moore flyer for the 25% yarn sale this Saturday. Along with that, she brought me the coupons from last Sunday's paper. Does this mean that the amount I saved clipping coupons goes towards the yarn? hmmmm...

I suppose I should have told her about this Stashbusting CAL. Too late now. Suppose I had better go find some little balls to make yo yos with to help my score get closer to zero.

[Warrior Maiden]

Oh yes, don't forget the sale on Saturday.....BTW, I got a skein of cotton today to work on the kitchen swap with

[basjordan]

I'm trying very hard to use up a ball on the scrapghan every evening. I don't post until the next day, though. Yesterday, I used a large ball. So that adds +1 to my WTD score. Now it's +5. There's a yarn sale at a discount store nearby with brand name yarns for $.99 or $1.99/skein. I think I may be in the negatives soon. Somebody hold me back!!!!

[Addey]

Well, I managed to get the next 5 rows on my barely started large granny blankie while watching Finding Nemo. Unfortunately, baby weight yarn has about a bajillion yards, so no real dent. (Although, I think I'm finally almost back to where I started with yarn use on these two skeins...)

I found several small balls last night lurking in strange corners I should be able to use up quickly though...

Still at 0 for the week though, not bad really all things concidered.

[goofy]

I get to add two more points to my score. Worked some more on my giant granny.

[LegalWoman17]

Just used up four left over balls of yarn to make a hat. So +4 for me today.

 

I'm doing pretty well using up yarn, but every time I look at my stash, I don't see any dents being made. Hmmmmm. :hook Could it be that I have WAY TOO MUCH YARN !! :lol

[ldyer1]

Finished another never ending pounder. That gives me another +2. Shame about yesterday! I think that puts me at ytd -9.

 

Soon I will be out of the negatives (by soon I mean May)

[hseger]

Well I bought a skein today to finish up my cat tunnel but used up 2 balls finishing my cat tunnel so that's a wash but...... 2 bags of yarn walked in here this afternoon and there seems to be quite a lot of skeins in there I haven't counted yet so I'll wait to get it all spread out and organized to count and add to my score.

[Carousel]

Well my score took another spectatular dive today as I got my yarn for the Catherderal Window cal and then I also got some for an afghan pattern that I was looking at called Monet's Pineapple. So my score is now

-58

[jetty56]

I have to put my little total in today as I will be away for the weekend--going to spend time with grandkids.:cheer

 

WTD+6 YTD +35

hopefully I will get more done next week, just too much life going on. LOL:hook

[rlanto]

It's been a busy week for me. However, I've managed at work (between the projects and issues) to take care of 4 skeins. That makes me happy. So, hopefully I'll get a bit more done, but we'll see.

[walker1021]

Instead of using up scrap balls last night, I started a scarf using a pounder skein. Like that is going to help my score this week. What the heck was I thinking??

[Addey]

Well, last night after I posted, I managed to get another 2 little balls used up on a scrap granny. Not sure who or what it's for... probably only have enough to make it big enough for a doll blankie for my niece... (pinks and purple and white...) So, I actually get a +2 for the week!!

[FelixLake]

So far this week I've used one skein on my ripple, and made 4 balls from finishing my Prairie Star, so I guess that gives me a +6 so far this week. I'm sure I'll do more later today and tomorrow, so I'll hold off on posting until then.

[KellyA]

I am going to post my score today as I have computer issues at home (currently at work) My score for this week is +5

[econ-nerd]

I'm off to a really slow start this year. First we were away for two weeks and now I am busy with work and catching up on everything after travelling. I hope to get some crocheting done this weekend. My score still stands at WTD 0 and YTD 0 If I get anything busted before tomorrow afternoon I will update.

[sammimag]

I'm +2 for this week and don't see getting more. I might try. If I would just finish up on my dd's sweater I'd get through 2 more skeins.

 

I did use up thread and yarn this week but didn't manage to get through skein or finish up a ball when I did.

[HappyOldCro]

Well I bought a skein today to finish up my cat tunnel but used up 2 balls finishing my cat tunnel so that's a wash but...... 2 bags of yarn walked in here this afternoon and there seems to be quite a lot of skeins in there I haven't counted yet so I'll wait to get it all spread out and organized to count and add to my score.

 

How did you train them to walk in on their own? What a great story to tell DH when he asks where did all the yarn come from.

[yarncat]

17-

Nothing added,nothing taken away.Worked in thread,so didn't use up anything.But,also didn't buy any at the thrift shops!

[mis1110]

didn't get too much accomplished last night, spent too much time cleaning the house, hopefully tonight I can make some real progress and move those numbers of mine

[Minerva76]

Drat...note to self: Do NOT, under any circumstance, go to Walmart and look at yarn when bored on lunch break! Came out with a skein of black RHSS....don't really need it. I think my mind takes a vacation when I look at yarn...best to avoid the temptation entirely.

 

I'm now at a big round 0 for the week. But, maybe I'll make some progress tonight.
