rolled another skein into a small ball. :yay +5 WTD that makes my YTD 0 :yay

basjordan · February 11, 2009

well I went a month and 10 days without buying any,but today,I went to a walmart I hardly ever set foot in,and they had the RHSS baby yarn that I needed for an up coming project,so that has me at - 4,was able to finish up a whole skein so only at - 2 I should be okay at the end of the week

I think you have shown amazing restraint, going so long without buying, then buying just two skeins! I tip my hat to you! :cheer

basjordan · February 11, 2009

I picked up a scarf that I started way back in July and finished that today.

Congrats on finishing an old project! What a great feeling, I think. You'll have to tell me. It's been a while. :hook

rolled another skein into a small ball. +5 WTD that makes my YTD 0

That little bit of the end of the skein just kept going and going! But I finally got it all on my ripple so +2 for today.

econ-nerd · February 11, 2009

Used up one little ball the other day and also used up two skeins last night. But I bought 8 more skeins last night for a blanket I am making... -13 for the week so far... I have a two stranded blanket on the go now and want it done by the weekend so that will eat up a lot of the yarn that got me the shoot the moon award last week

dilyca2006 · February 11, 2009

Just used up 3 more skeins on this baby afghan and the good news is that I will be able to return the extra yarn I just bought for it. That yarn never came in the house, it is still in my car and I will take it back either tonight or tomorrow and count it as gone tomorrow. Off to update the siggie for today's usage!!! woo hoo.

bama_belle · February 11, 2009

I spent most of the weekend in the sick bed with my squares books, my favorite hook and my scraps box. I am working on making one square for each pattern in my binder so I have a ready example instead of trying to judge from the photos.

So... as of Sunday evening (and I know I'm late with an update) I used about the equivalent of 6 medium sized balls (there were several very small balls, and I'm not going to "cheat"!).

So that puts me at

Stashbusting scores: WTD +6 YTD +3

Yay!

fc1123 · February 11, 2009

well not sure yet what my score will be today so I guess we shall see I want to go to Michaels might buy yarn if they have the colors I want need to go to Michaels to look at crochet stitches book so that way I can learn how to make a cable stitch

jeannie1205 · February 11, 2009

I forgot to post some more used up stash...

Here are my numbers for the week so far:

Used 5 skeins of S&C yarns for dishcloths and holders in the following colors: sunshine, summer twists, hot pink, pinky stripes & violet stripes

WTD = +10 YTD = +58

a_stitchintime · February 11, 2009

...just thought I'd drop by while my :flying :hook takes a little (very little) break...

Going like gangbusters on that flannelghan...need it done and put away before DH comes back tomorrow night from business trip :eek :sweat

...well, need more :coffeeand to get back to :crocheting ... I'll check back later...

Everyone's seeming to be havin' a BUSTIN' week! Great job to all!!! :applause :ghug

DesertCrocheter · February 11, 2009

I am so impressed so many of you are zooming through your stashes. I am STILL slogging through the same Caron One Pound. Hopefully I'll finish that blanket this week, but it looks like my score might be 0 for the week--despite crocheting (and shhh! knitting) every night. Both projects are using One Pounders and 2 of the 3 skeins were unused, full pounds when I started.

Must keep crocheting.... Patty

Graceylue · February 11, 2009

I have not been on in a while, but I haven't had anything in or out until today.

I went to Michaels to pick up my last pay check and discovered they had glow in the dark yarn in both teal and purple, my two absolute favorite colours, on clearance. -8 WTD

basjordan · February 12, 2009

I used a ball on my afghan (+1)

I gave away 2 skeins and 4 balls (+8)

So today looks very, very good! +9 added to my previous score (+3) for a new WTD of +12 and YTD of +28.

pineknott · February 12, 2009

from my -2 yesterday,finished up another skein,so now I'm at 0

ArielManx · February 12, 2009

Whoo hoo, finally making some headway again this week! Went through 1 1/2 thingies of Lion Incredible ribbon yarn today for a +3 for the week thus far! I think it should be renamed Incredible Pain in the Butt to work with. :laughroll It's really pretty but it was rough on my hands.

Has anyone made something out of it before with fringe? I'm debating if I should use Fray Check or tie a knot at the end of each strand. I know I have to do one or the other, it looks like it's going to fray if I even look at it wrong.

fc1123 · February 12, 2009

well I didn't buy any yarn so I resisted the urge yeah for me what great restraint I showed by not doing that

Krystal16 · February 12, 2009

I've been stitching away, but no points! When you're working out of 5 different skeins, they're slow to go!

basjordan · February 12, 2009

My stash is down by two more skeins! +4 to my WTD yields +16

a_stitchintime · February 12, 2009

... You go, Beth!!! :cheer :cheer

pineknott · February 12, 2009

rolled half a skein into a ball.yea back on the +1 side

Never done fringe with the stuff. Just used it to make the uppers for a pair of beach sandals. What do you think of beading the fringe and knotting it? :think

Picked up another one pound skein for that TCAL. Don't know if I'll need it because I'm so far behind, but the designer used 1 1/2 skeins of the stuff so I figured I'd better not take any chances. The stuff is supposedly no dye lot, but I don't trust it and figure my odds of matching it are better now than if I wait 'til I'm about to run out. So -2 WTD so far. :blush

fc1123 · February 12, 2009

well today +3because I made the yarn into 3 balls unfortunately I want to make a scarf so I might go to Michaels and grab a one pounder of caron yarn so possibly a -2
