Ok I'm making the list of scores and will be posting them very late tonight as I won't be around much on Sunday. I will probably post them around 2:30 or 3 AM tonight Central Standard Time so be sure to post before then if you can. We've got some great totals so far!

Don't forget to post your score in big bright colors please!

 

My score for the week is a 0 even though I forgot to change my sig from last week - oops. I promise I didn't get another -22!

didn't buy any and wasn't given any

I didn't want to start any till I finished all these loose ends on about 100 squares,half way there

[appy_lover]

Thought I would get more done yesterday & today. I only polished off 1 more skein, which doesn't make much of a dent on my score. I am close on another, but that will just make for an excellent score next week I guess.

I used up a ball today starting my week with a +1.

 

WTD +1

[DesertCrocheter]

I finally used up that Caron One Pound I've been working with for several weeks--yippee! Great way to start the week, and maybe I really can end the year on a positive note! Woohoo! Patty

Hey Wow! Only 2 of us in the negatives this week!! Yahoo!! Very impressive ladies...

[CLLinda]

I had to buy some blue yarn for a bunting. My new favorite- Loops and Threads Impeccable was on sale for $1.99 a skein. So for $4, I have a nice gift for someone.

 

So I'm in the negatives again. But it could have been much worse. 4 points can be made up in the week. And these buntings are very cute and fast. And I found some cute little buttons at HL for 30 cents for two. I usually use 6 on the buntings.

It was a very good week for stashbusting! Keep up the good work, ladies!

Well I found a skein of cotton yarn at my friend's mom's house so that's -2 for me.

[appy_lover]

Cranked out 2 skeins of ribbon yarn on a shawl last night...and I am thisclose to finishing a skein on a hat I am knitting for a Christmas present.

 

I knit so slow that I bet I could have made him a double stranded afghan in the same amount of time it will take to finish this one knitted hat. I LOVE the yarn though. Since my Stepfather is allergic to wool I am knitting a hat from Patons Bamboo Silk. It is sooo soft, and I do like kitting with it. I hated crocheting with it because it split, slipped and slid off my hook. I'm not having that problem with the knitting...and it is soo soft and nice. I hope he likes the hat. There are a few mistakes...but with this many hours in on the hat, you can forget about me going back to fix them now.

[dilyca2006]

finished off another small skein yesterday!!! forgot to post it though for some reason.

[jessicagil]

I rolled up a skein into a ball this morning. Or last night.

[Needle Arts]

I'm tired of frogging and rolling on two projects. Shouldn't crochet when eyes begin to cross!

[dilyca2006]

I am sooo tired of working on what I am working on. I have (like most of us) have many things lined up that I would rather be working on. I found myself looking at some Vanna yarn in Wal-mart today. I had 6 skeins of it in my cart for a project months away. Walked away from the yarn department, turned around and put it all back!!!!!!!!!

[Marzee]

My charity afghan continues to eat up balls. This week it consumed one ball of no name blue gray+1 and one very ancient ball of Majesty® Twinkle hot pink +1. "Ancient?" you ask? The label that I managed to keep with the ball has no bar code. It was purchased from Ben Franklin (do they still exist?) for $1.19. It was 60% Orlon (acrylic) and 40% Dacron (Polyester - I guess for the sparkle).

 

JoAnn and Wallmart were both sold out of the red cotton yarn I have been looking for. So still no purchase made. A little yarn petting and lusting was all I did.

I used up a second ball from the yard sale yarn (not sure if it's a complete skein as these had no wrappers, so I'm just giving myself 1 point for them). And then I got my free one skein of Caron yarn in the mail yesterday, just a week or so after I mailed my labels in. But I'm still in the positive for the week! Patty

[jessicagil]

I gave my mom 3 skeins of yarn yesterday.
