2008 Stashbusting CAL Game (winners posted #1835)

[walker1021]

The doctor put me on bed today for the next 3-5 days, so I had to pick up some yarn today for my next RR.

I bought 3 skeins, so that puts me at -4

At least I will have plenty of time to crochet and bust some stash

OMG Mel!! Hope it is nothing too serious. Have fun getting rid of your stash while you are following the doctor's orders.

I still consider myself new to crocheting, since I learned less than a year ago, so I'm quite proud that I was asked to make leg and arm warmers for a costume for a ballet adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. (I'm making the stripes on the Cheshire cat.) Well, I needed to get some yarn, didn't have any hot pink in my stash. So I bought 2 skeins of RedHeart SuperSaver in hot pink. It looks stunning against the burgundy. (She says with a shudder.) This brings my total WTD down to +4, and my YTD to +12.

Hope you are running around again soon, but enjoy the quiet crochet time!

Dreams of Yarn, hope you'll soon be feeling better. (With non-stop crochet time, what am I saying? LOL)

 

 

I'm about 1/8the of the way through a sweater pattern, and finished off two skeins already! +4

Hey there Mel, hope it's nothing too serious. Take care of yourself.

 

Working on a couple of slow projects at the moment, so as much as I'm using up stash, the points aren't doing a thing.

Thanks ladies for the kind words. I am on bed rest for my back. I have degenerative disc disease (among other things wrong with my back), and 2 of the bottom discs are just about touching now. The doctor has me on steroids, muscle relaxers, pain pills and lots and lots of rest. Right now I am camped out on my new couch with my laptop nearby...along with lots of yarn and hooks.

 

I had to go to the pharmacy this morning to pick up a prescription that they didn't have last night, and while I was out I stopped at Big Lots. I found some yarn that I just had to have. I bought 11 skeins of Paton's Bohemian. So that brings my total for the week so far to: -26.

I better get the hooks flying

[krazy-kitty]

Bought 10 balls of purple yarn, was gifted 2 balls of pink yarn by my SP

 

So that -24

 

I have used up 1 full ball of cotton, 6 full balls of pink yarn, gifted 3 full balls of yarn, so that makes my total

 

-4 so far this week

[hseger]

I used up another skein so +2 more. I WILL get out of the negative for the week,

[Cesa]

Just thought I'd stop in and post an update. I slowed down a bit because I was trying something new (not a pure rectangle). I didn't post last week because there was no change in score. I finished a pair of mittens, which used a full skein and a bit of scrap yarn, so that's plus 2. I've started a shrug with Homespun, which seems to working up rather quickly. That or I'm spending lot of time on it. Hmm, maybe. Anyhow, I hope to finish another skein before Saturday night.

[HappyOldCro]

finished cotton shawl, and bam it is gone, claimed by someone, . Started another shawl of my own design using spider lace on a background of ch 5 arches. It is shaping up nicely. Only about 1/4 of the way through the first skein, so no points to claim.

[hseger]

Well I lied. I came across a pile of RHSS and SS at a thrift store that was just too good to pass up. At least is all yarn I'll use and I didn't go overboard and buy the thread and other yarn they had too. So there was 16 skeins and 7 balls for -39 points. Guess I'm not getting out of the negatives now.

[krazy-kitty]

I have used up 4 partial balls of purple making a bag, so that brings my score back to 0

[laurawithchild]

Another 2 skeins down for another +4.....maybe I'll be outta the hole by the end of the week!!!

[laughlovehook]

+4 on my ripples

[basjordan]

I finished my first Cheshire cat leg warmer, and used up a skein of burgundy in the process. That brings my WTD to +6 and my YTD to +14.

[LegalWoman17]

Another +2, using up two balls of yarn on a round ripple afghan. Almost in the positives !! :cheer:cheer

[DreamsOfYarn]

Being on bed rest is helping me bust some stash. I have used 4 skeins so far on an afghan.

-18

[Addey]

Well, last night was the first time all week I've been able to pick up a hook. Finished off another skein of Homespun on the baby blanket. (It just needs eding now...) It looks like this week will be a small numbers week, but at least in the positives this time... +2 for now, probably a little bit more by tomorrow night.... I hope.

[DreamsOfYarn]

Had a hard time sleeping last night and I've been up since 6:00. I am sitting here watching the snow and crocheting. i've busted through 3 more skeins.

-12
