I finished two skeins making dishclothes only +4 for this week

Laura - I am right there with you. I have an been working on my hubby's afghan, a yo yo lapghan, a couple bookmarks and a scarf. So far this week, I have gone thru zero skeins. Maybe if I concentrated on one project instead of a couple days on this afghan, a couple days on the lapghan, etc then the skeins would start to disappear.

I used 1 ball and finally got the rainbow skeins down to "useless" (under 3 yds.) . I'll add them to my wonder ball I started in '07, if I can figure out where it rolled to . + 13 so far this week.

18 skeins mailed & 1 full skein and 2 1/2's used on ripple for a total of 20 skeins.. +40 so far this week. woohoo.

Crocheted all night and most of today. Trying to clean out the balls that are building up again. made another teddy, clothes for winter bear, a bunch more donuts, and started a cap to match a scarf I made a while back and the cotton shawl, plus put some more squares together. +12

I've been working on a small baby afghan, and no matter how much I do on it, those skeins are not going down. Yikes !! Well, I guess my score for this week won't be much. Perhaps it will be better next week. I'll work on something other than a baby afghan.

Well I didn't get much ILTY at HL today but did get 1 skein of ILTY and 12 assorted skeins on clearance for .55 and .97 that I just couldn't pass up though I didn't buy all that I could have I stopped myself from buying some that I've wanted to try but since I didn't know what I would make with it or what color I would want I didn't get any of those. So..... -26 added to my +13 just had to put a - in front of my score Now to try to bust some more balls on 6 inch squares to make up for this days purchases.

Walker- Well, I am right there with the both of you. I just haven't had time to crochet this week.School is keeping me busy, but spring break is the week after next and I know what I am going to be doing:hook the whole week If I could find the time to work on my mom's afghan which is a double strander, I could bust thru some skeins. Plus I have 2 scarves going, a couple of Snuggles, and another afghan for my cousin. I have almost gone thru one skein tonite, and this is the first nite this week I have actually got to crochet. Maybe I should take your advice and concentrate on just one project and I might get somewhere.

Another two skeins added to my multi colored ghan

I just finished a skein on my latest Ripple Ghan.

I cant answer this poll as AZ has its own time zone. It changes depending on the time of year. We could be in Mountain or in Pacific. It just depends on the time of year.

[hseger]

I finished up 2 balls tonight so +2 more toward getting out of the hole I've dug myself today.

[econ-nerd]

Oh rats... I went into town yesterday and put myself in trouble... I came home with two huge Sensations Rainbow skeins, four little skeins of cotton and four skeins of Caron Simply Soft. -20 for me And I think I may go shopping with a friend on Saturday afternoon (so there is more danger ahead!)

[MrsCrochetPants]

I finished off 2 skeins yesterday so I am at +7 for the week so far.

[CraftyJen]

After 2 weeks of not accomplishing anything...I've finally finished 3 balls! I'm making a snake for my DS using scraps (after seeing one in another thread on here) so hopefully I can finish off quite a few balls over the next couple days.

[walker1021]

I was a good girl yesterday. Went to the LYS at lunch to buy only the 4 colors needed for the comfortghan. And I walked out with only 1 skein of each color. Nothing more! The urge was there, but I squelched it.

As I was checking out, she asked the usual question "Would you like some wine, a cup of tea or some coffee?" If I didn't have to go back to work, I would have taken her up on the glass of wine to relax those brain cells. Once that would have happened, who knows how much yarn I would have walked out with!!

[LegalWoman17]

At long last, I have finally got a score to post. LOL A +2 for me, finally using up a skein on the baby afghan. WHEW !

Wow, I wish I had seen this thread at the start of the year!

 

I probably won't join, since it's already mid-February, but I'll check in every so often to get encouragement to decrease my own stash, if that's cool with y'all.

[Krystal16]

clocke - you can join in anytime. We reset our scores for the "challenge" every Saturday. Our YTD (Year to Date) scores are for personal use only.

[Tia]

Yes, please join us Clocke!

[walker1021]

We would love to have you join us, Clocke! The more encouragement we have from fellow yarn addicts, the better.

I don't blame you for buying, I could never have resisted the items you bought, especially the Sensations Rainbow, it is one of my favs. As are the cotton and SS. I applaud the fact that you didn't buy even more of them,

[HappyOldCro]

Hi, did more rows on shawl, connected more squares and made more donuts from small balls. 1 skein and 3 balls, +5
