[Crafty Witch]

Well, I have to put up the scores today, so I'll post mine:

 

WTD -4/YTD -174

 

Basically, I needed a couple of skeins for an Xmas present, and despite the I did this past week, I didn't finish any skeins. Oh well, at least I won't Shoot the Moon this week.

Wow, it's a good thing the YTD doesn't count for having to do the scores. Oh wait, I Shot the Moon on the weekly scores too.

 

I guess I better get to busting that stash.

[CLLinda]

YAAHOO! Finally made the GOLD!

 

There was a terrific response this week. So many positives! Keep up the good work, everyone!

 

[DesertCrocheter]

Everyone must be madly working on holiday presents. I am, too, but mine is thread, so you know how big that cone is--. Well done, everyone. And I finished a skein last night, so I'm already positive for this week. Hooray! Patty

[aphelia]

Aw, I couldn't get my scores in this week! The people I work with and I went on a weekend trip as a Christmastreat from the boss. So much fun! I even tought a girl to crochet a hat.

 

I only had a +1 as I was gifted 3 skeins of yarn (I reeeeeally don't know what to do with them...).

 

I have allready a +2 for the week though, that's good! And good job to the scorekeeper, by the way.

I went to my 30th H.S. reunion last night so I didn't do much this weekend. Saw people I hadn't seen in forever. To take a group photo (only classmates), they had to really squeeze everyone together, (150 +/- people 5 or 6 rows). With spouses/guests there was about 200 there. Our name badges had year book photos on them, but nobody looked the same .

I hope to get a lot of in before Sat. My pattern seems to be working O.K. now, that should use at least a skein. So no points to report yet.

I think I am going to try and do this again. I am on a mission to actually USE the yarn I have accumulated! I haven't bought any new yarn in over 6 months! So lets see if I can actually use what I have. I am keeping my fingers crossed! So far today I am at a +2 working on a scarf!

[fc1123]

well finished two balls of yarn I had rolled from 2 different skeins of yarn so +2 for me for the week so far though almost finished with a skein of yarn so almost a +2.

[fc1123]

well I finished the skein and bought another one yesterday so I would have been at -100 for ytd but I finished the skein so I broke even yeah for me.

[CLLinda]

I have had no time at all to crochet this week. I've been running around like crazy and at the end of the day, I just crash. No time to relax or anything.

 

But I did behave at Wally World tonight and didn't buy any yarn. So that's good.

 

[MrsCrochetPants]

Well I finished my scarf and my second skein of yarn so that is an additional +2. I started another scarf which is a double stranded one so that will use twice the amount of yarn!

[CLLinda]

I finally had some time to crochet. I made a hat and used a skein of ribbon yarn up. so I am at +2 for the week. Horray!

 

 

[appy_lover]

Had to buy 2 skeins & got 3 from swap partner....so am crocheting as fast as my lil fingers will go trying to use some up. Not being very successful. Have ripped out the last 3-4 rows of doilyghan several times...grrrr...hopefully I can get through 2 skeins tonight on it. Has to be done by next week!!

[MrsObie]

Is it too late to join this crochet a long? I have way too much yarn and I want to use it up so I can buy more!!!

Welcome aboard, Mrs. Obie. You can start now, then in January, switch to the 2010 Stashbusting CAL! If you have any questions, ask away!

[dilyca2006]

well. I have been AWOL this week. I thought that if I hid my head in the sand no one else would know all the yarn that I have been buying this week. So far this week I have brought 20 skeins of yarn into this house and I have more coming from Herschners (hopefully that will not come till next week). I have only used up 2 of those 20 skeins though.

I had better make some changes to my siggie.

It's a good thing I am starting this today!!! Last week I was given a HUGE bag of yarn.... and yesterday I bought 30 skeins for Christmas presents! But it is still going to be hard not to buy anymore.

That's why this thread exists! You are not alone. The call of the yarn is very strong!!! But you can be stronger!

[Jain]

I finished a skein on a blanket today. It's pretty fancy yarn so the skeins are always smaller, haha. That's good for me! +2

[MrsCrochetPants]

finished 2 skeins of yarn on my scarf +4

Glad someone else is running for shoot the moon...I've bought 2 skeins & been gifted 3 this week...I used up 2 on my double strand doilyghan last night...but I am still down 6 points. Not that I am complaining, my swap buddy sent me 3 skeins of heavenly sock yarn.

[dilyca2006]
