2009 Stashbusting CAL

Yeah I busted another skein last night. Hubby starts Chemo next week maybe... Seems he got a really bad sinus infection that the ear nose throat doc found. So to add to his medication route he now has steriods and antibotics..... this for someone who wouldn't take a asprin a year ago. Anyways, we decided last night to drive down to AC (Atlantic City) to have one last fling before all his energy goes to chemo. Poor guy, we got up at 7 am, showered, eat breakfast, then gambled a bit and now he is taking a nap as he is exhausted. It's 10:00 am btb. He's an old man at 48. So here I sit crocheting and watching over him. well another +2 for me this week, I have added it to my WTD at the bottom.

I've had a really good week! First grandma asked for a bunch of yarn to make lapghans for the local nursing home. I got a few balls of yarn from some of the other ones she's done but I turned around and made these with them:

The brites one is 24 inches and the other is 36 inches. I'm giving the second one back to grandma for a lapghan. :D

 

So anyway, my score is...

WTD +62

YTD +117

 

I have to take my dad for surgery tomorrow, so I don't know if I'll get to post tomorrow night or not. :( Hopefully I will, since I'll be working on my other blanket while I wait for him for 5 hours! :eek

Rolled a skein into a ball. Making a knitted baby set, so it takes me a lot longer.

Wow Jain, Your YTD is almost positive! Can we do the YTD+ dance for you soon???

I hope so! I have a couple of little projects I have to finish up and then I can get back to my Outta Sight which will take up some yarn. And after that I have another jacket planned. I should be at 0 soon though! If I can just make some time to crochet, been too busy. Get ready to dance though! lol

Braxxi those are gorgeous! I have been wanting to make a RR for so long. I just may buy some more yarn and do that! But not until I'm back in the positives...

I thought that by joining this CAL I would buy less yarn. So far I've failed miserably! :think

Well, I finished a Project Linus knitted blanket this week, and because there was just a little left of each of the three colors left, I rolled them into balls and added them to my stash (it was a yarn kit I'd checked out). So, for the second week in a row, I'm in the red.

 

wtd ending 5/9/09: -3

 

I'm attending a baby shower tomorrow morning, so I'm posting early. Happy spring weekend, everyone! Patty

It looks like I probably won't get much time to crochet today, so I am posting early.

 

WTD=-2 YTD=-1

I need to really push myself so I can get that YTD score in the positives and stay that way!
