Posting early because I am going Prom dress shopping with DD at Woodfield. I'll be dead tired when I get home.

 

I am jealous I haven't been to Woodfield in years. Have fun shopping. I remember shopping for prom dresses with my youngest...took weeks.

 

I am going to crochet today so I hope to update my score later but in case I get busy and don't get back

+10 WTD

[hseger]

I'm still working on some balls that I hope to get finished before the deadline but I'm going to go ahead and put my score so far up in case I get sidetracked and don't get back here today.

 

I got one more ball done last night for +1 so my total for the week is.....

 

WTD +8

[Krystal16]

Oops, I know I'm going to get sidetracked tonight. Better post.

 

WTD: +1

[walker1021]

Hey, guess what? I got me another point:

 

WTD: +2

[DreamsOfYarn]

I have busted through 2 more skeins. 1 on my RR and 1 on a new 2 strander I've started using a size P hook. I hope to have at least 1 more skein used up before posting time.

+14

[raelynn]

My totals for the week are below. Posting early. Will be gone later.

[KellyA]

Did that color in honor of DD

[hseger]

Good luck! I'm not too fond of Woodfield because I feel like it takes forever to get from one store I want to visit to the next. However, I can see why you would go there for this task.

 

Anyhow, I finished one skein of yarn this week on my shrug, so that's +2 for the week for me and puts me into positive territory for the year!

 

WTD: +2 YTD: +2

[LegalWoman17]

Had a pretty decedent stashbusting week.

 

+33 for some skeins and scraps given away

+6 for a magic ball swap

+2 for a thread doily

+1 for the start of a round ripple

+2 more for the same round ripple

+4 for a baby afghan

+2 for two dishcloths

 

So, for the week:

2008 Stashbusting Game: WTD: 50 YTD: +206

[Addey]

Well... I finished off two skeins on the seemingly never-ending blankie, but.... I bought two new skeins yesterday. This puts me at a grand total of:

 

0 WTD

 

I don't feel guilty about the two skeins purchased though. I was in Minnesota the tail end of the week (just got home actually...) and wouldn't ya know it... but one of the two Hobby Lobbys in Minnesota was only about a 20 minute drive from where I was. Wait, 20 min to go to Hobby Lobby? Why? Well, I live in PA and don't have any! I picked up two skeins of I love This Yarn in the crayon colorway. Very bright and soft and wonderful! I'll add some white to it and make a niffy blankie for Project Linus (or my own kiddo...) And it was on sale! 2 skins for only $5!

Ok... Off to try and finish the blankie... I'm soo close to done it's not even funny....

[slksnell]

Bought 9 skeins for a Ripple for my Baba's 80th birthday present, my score is WTD: -18

[econ-nerd]

I'm not likely to finish off enough of anything else this evening to change my score so I'll post my score now:

 

WTD: +6 (-4 YTD)

[HappyOldCro]

Just finished making the last of my flowers, +3

WTD +27 YTD +174

[laurawithchild]

Just posting my humble score of +2for the week....would have been more but had to do some MAJOR frogging....

[basjordan]

Hi,

 

I have adopted a skein of yarn from my daughter. It brings my total WTD to +2, and YTD to +18

[DreamsOfYarn]

I was only able to use up 1 more skein before posting time, so that puts me at:

 

WTD: +16

YTD: +56

[laughlovehook]

I haven't used any yarn this week, with everyone sick and sock madness starting, I haven't done much busting of the stash. 0 for the week

 

------------------

 

 

Wow not many people have posted scores, so this will just be a starter list. I'll update it in the morning if anyone else posts after this.

What a week!!! So yesterday I found out tht if I want to do the farmer's market this summer I need to have my stuff ready fot the jury deal in 2 weeks!! So I bought the yarn & thread that I will need for the projects I have in mind last night...15 skeins...yikes...

 

Never thought I could dig out of that hole, but then I remember that I had this dingy yarn that was gifted to me over a year ago, it has still not lost the smell of smoke from previos owner. So I tossed it. I have never in my whole life threw away yarn like that...good for + 28 points

 

so that combined with what I crocheted this week...

 

WTD +5 Ytd +5

off to correct signature....

[Krystal16]

:rofl I like that, Overachiever Award :rofl

[ScoobyDoo0811]

Yikes!!!!!!!! I haven't posted for the last two weeks. I have forgotten plus I have been busy with school work (mid term exams and projects and papers) and I have been sick. I barely had time to pop in here and see what was going on and a couple of days I didn't get to pop in at all . I haven't busted through anything nor have I bought any yarn so my scores have been the same now for 3 weeks. I need to crochet and relax for a while. Maybe this week will be better for me.

 

Have a great week and bust through that yarn. :crocheting:hug:manyheart

[Cesa]

I love the overachiever award! While I doubt I'll ever place with finishing one or two skeins per week, those huge weekly scores are a bit disheartening. Putting them in a different category is a great idea
