2009 Stashbusting CAL

[CLLinda]

Wow! There's a lot of people playing. Lets see how much yarn we can go through this year! Great start so far.

 

[HollyzHobbyz]

WOO HOO! I just finished the last square (35 total) for the afghan I've been working on! Now to start putting them together!

[CroJulee]

WTD:+6

Ok, I used 3 skeins of simply soft up last night (the 6 oz variety) so that's 6 points in my favor. Actually, technically I used some up last night and some this morning. I used 2 skeins between 8pm and 1am last night and the last skein between 1am and 4am this morning. That's 8 hours non stop crocheting last night. I also did some crocheting earlier that day. Oyy, I love crocheting.

Julee, shouldn't your WTD be +6? We started a new week today. You get to wipe the WTD slate clean. I love Sundays!!!

[CroJulee]

Oh, Ok. I guess I missed the memo. I'll change my wtd. Yay!!

 

Thanks

I just realized I'm very late posting my score, but that's ok because I'd rather not remember it. I'm -5 for the week because I used up 3 balls, but then I realized I didn't buy enough yarn for the one afghan I'm working on, so I bought 4 skeins.

[lilmiss]

i also forgot to post yesterday. i used 3 more balls up, but i also bought 1 skein.

 

so that puts me at 8 YTD.

[Mollyanna]

Well, my +6 for last week got wiped out by a trip to JoAnn's today. I bought 6 skeins but already used 1 for a current WTD of -10. I have also won several items on e-bay (that place is dangerous!) and have 3 other skeins coming that I ordered last week, but I am going to return 2 of the skeins I bought to JoAnn's, so there's no telling what my final WTD will be! However, since I'm back to work tomorrow after 2 weeks off I'm sure it will be in the negative.

[lilmiss]

one skein down today!

[Jempast]

I am going to be negative this week. Guess I need to try & get some skeins used up before I go shopping for yarn. I bought this new pattern & of course I don't have any of the colors. So I am getting the yarn either tomorrow or Tuesday.

[Tia]

I just came home with 10 skeins of cotton.

 

So, -20 so far.

[basjordan]

I finished a skein. That brings my WTD to +2, and my YTD to +4. It sure feels nice to be in the positives!!!

[kel]

Wow, how fun!! This really is kind of motivating... I'll have to get that hook moving soon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you used two skeens, your point should be +4... You get 2 points for each skein. But maybe you bought something?

 

 

Aaaah! You are right! THANK YOU!!!

[OwlEyez]

I made a pretty good dent in my stash. I've been working on a pet bed, and a hat. Hope to be able to count up some serious progress by the end of the week.

[basjordan]

I picked up an old WIP, and zipped through a skein, so my WTD is +4, my YTD +6.

[Braxxi]

Well...I know I'm probably going to be negative this week!

 

The 3 skeins of yarn I got yesterday were the wrong weight yarn, so the lady is sending the 3 I ordered out...and doesn't want me to ship back the others because it was their fault.

 

PLUS, I'm probably going to Michael's and Hobby Lobby tomorrow! We all know what that means. If the plumbing under my sink wasn't retarded I wouldn't have to go to Menards, so I wouldn't be near M's and HL!

 

BUT, I also started a new afghan today and already used up 1/2 of a skein on it.

[LadiBug329]

I should have a positive score this week...i have no monies

 

thank goodness dreams don't count

[jessicagil]

I bought 3 skeins of Vannas choice for a scarf. I plan to use it before the weekend as my son needs it. I did use enough of another skein to make a ball. I am going to be using a few balls this week too.

[Isabel]

Finished the baby ghan I was working on and started a new one today which used up 2 more skeins.

 

At least I'm starting this week in the positive. Hopefully I can keep up the momentum. Unfortunately I don't have enough of the right colors in my stash so I'm going to need to go shopping tomorrow to buy at least two more skeins to finish the new afghan.

[allieliz]

True confessions time-- I had to go to Joann to find one single skein of RHSS in hot red-- but they don't carry that color, so I ended up with a 7 oz ball of Bernat baby blanket-- so -2, but then I had to go to Michaels for the Red Heart, and 4 skiens of Kroy Socks jumped into my basket too 'cos they were 50% off (such a deal) So, I went from +4 this morning to -8. Argh! I think stashbusting is harder than dieting!!!

[fc1123]

Must be today I went to Joann's and bought another skein -2 so far not sure how this week will go yikes

[Krystal16]

Don't worry - the sale ends 1/10, so you can't do too much damage after this week!

[jollyrancher418]

I love making 3SUBS because of the amount of yarn they use up! I went through 6 balls of yarn yesterday, which negates my negative score for last week (as long as I don't buy anymore yarn)

[morna]

does embrodery thread and or tating thread count? what about size #10 thread for filet? should i count either of these to my score?

[DesertCrocheter]

I'll be counting thread, as I'm working on a large filet name wall hanging. The only thing is that large skeins of thread take sooooo llloooonnnngggg to work through! Patty
