2008 Stashbusting CAL Game (winners posted #1835)

[Ellie 13]

I finished my 2nd doll and 2nd tortoise. Used 1 ball and rolled a skein to a ball (+2). I'm not sure what to make now . I have lots of brown (3 or 4 shades) and 2 pinks. Maybe some teddy bears or an afghan .

Score: + 2

[yarn_monkey]

Well, I started a big rebound from the other week's -33...

 

Last week, I used a bunch on a baby blanket, shopping bag and a dishcloth, and returned one skein of baby yarn... Total for 3/9-3/15= 10pts

 

So far this week... +2 by using up a skein of sport yarn (part of that -33) on squares for a sweater I'm "designing"/"making up". :crocheting

 

Might not get back to post this week's final tally, but I'm keeping up everything. I swear, as soon as I get a spreadsheet for my points, the computer's power cord dies and I'm back to doing it all on paper...

[Nght]

Have used 4 skeins on the new blankie so far... helped that the puter finally died and I couldn't sit here Fixed that tho, Office Depot was having a good sale Might I mention, I don't think I like windows Vista?!?!!!!!

[hseger]

I busted 2 more balls on baby hats today.

[hseger]

finished a skein and another ball for +3 more points.

[KellyA]

Finished up with a friendship hat that I started on Sunday, also doing Cancer squares so between all of that this week I am sitting at +9

Hoping the week gets better

[hseger]

rolled one more skein into a ball +1. That's probably going to be it for awhile the rest of the week I'm doing slow going stuff.

[Lisaizme]

Used up 3 more skeins. +6

 

WTD= - 58 YTD = 127

[Lisaizme]

Might I mention, I don't think I like windows Vista?!?!!!!!

 

I've heard that from quite a few others. I'm starting to look at a new system and thinking I will get one with either dual boot or the windows XP download option.

[unicorn37757]

Well, not much but I used one ball!

[Nght]

Used up another skein... and still don't like Vista

[econ-nerd]

I won an auction for a dozen skeins of yarn on ebay and it arrived on Monday (-24 ). It included one RH soft (never tried this before), two Caron ss, one Lion Brand wool, one Lion brand woolease (which I think will become a one skein scarf) and seven Vanna skeins (also which I have never tried). I think I may combine the Vanna yarns into an afghan - they are mostly different colors (except for three in linen which may become a scarf or stole for me). I'm looking forward to working my way through this stash.

 

I did use up two and a half skeins of cotton on potholders (+5). I hope to get more done this week to get me back to positives

[krazy-kitty]

I used 1 full ball and 1 partial ball of brown/beige and 2 partail balls of cream making a blanket for one of my cats.

 

So far this week = 5

[slksnell]

I sent out 6 skeins yesterday for +12.

Another ball down +1

[HappyOldCro]

Used up one skein making towel toppers and ring clips for towels.

As for Vista....

[Krystal16]

Finished off that ball of earth & sky.. +1 more!

[Nght]

Ok, so I sent out 5 more skeins, sorry

 

AND... honestly not trying to help me or hurt any of you... but I have 5 bags of caron mill ends that are looking for a home.... anyone interested in them?? For charity work, or any other work for that matter... they just need to leave.. let me know!Look here: http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=74030

 

Ok, with that said... going to see if dinner's done

[Krystal16]

OH, I was SOOO ogling the mill ends.. they were CALLING ME like a siren's song. I was justifying buying them for using in an afghan for BIL and his soon-to-be-wife... but at the last minute, my finger clicked the little "X" in the corner and the spell was broken... WHEW! that was a close one.

[laurawithchild]

Another one bites the dust!! Another ball of yarn that is! +1!!

[DreamsOfYarn]

3 more skeins of yarn used for dishcloths, washcloths and potholders.

+18 for the week so far.

[yarncat]

19-

25yd ball:tan loopy wool

+1

[DreamsOfYarn]

I've used another skein of yarn on dishcloths.

That puts me at +20

 

BUT.......I went to Hobby Lobby to get the rest of the Susan Bates Bamboo hooks to complete my collection since they were 40% off, and made the mistake of walking past the clearance aisle. They had 2 colors of Sugar 'N Cream yarn for .89 a skein, so I got 11 skeins. Then I used my 40% off coupon for a cone of Sugar 'N Cream.

 

So, +20, take off the 12 skeins (-24), and I am now at -4.
