2009 Stashbusting CAL

[pineknott]

managed to work up to + 25

15 rolled balls,4 skeins donated to thrift store,and 1 skein finished on a project.

then I went to the store,went in for 1 skein that I was totally out of,but five jumped in the cart,sigh,then on to Walmart that had the color I needed,and I managed well to only come out of there with just the 1.

final count with the minus 12 = + 13

[CLLinda]

well, I have been working and then frogging everything I touch lately. Just can't settle on one project to get going.

 

But I am doing pretty good so far with a +10.

 

We'll see what happens by Saturday night.

 

[hseger]

Rolled another skein into a ball +1

 

WTD +5

[karishema]

I still haven't finished a skein. But...., I gifted 2 skeins to two of my students that I am teaching to crochet. So that gives me a +4, I tried to give more away, but they wouldn't take it for free. Finally got off that 0, I have been busy doing everything but crochet, but the weekend is coming.:cheer:cheer

[Mandii]

I really need to get crocheting and get off the computer

:rofl

 

Boy can I relate to that!

[ropergirl3]

boy, nothing crochet or knit this week, but getting alot of hand quilting on my sonshine's quilt done!

[TexasSugar]

Finished another skein of off white. I now have three strips of 12 squares stitched together, and am busy sewing in the yarn ends. I really haven't minded stitching the squares together, but these ends are getting to me. May have to put them off while I finish more squares. Nothing like procratanating.

 

If I get busy maybe I can finish off another skein of yarn by Saturday. Hmm a challenge to myself...

Thanks for the welcome. I guess I will have another excuse to buy yarn now, not that I need any help with that.

Yeah well the impulse to buy yarn is pretty strong, so a lot of us are just here to win the Shoot the Moon award each week.

Well went to Rochester, Mi today went to Skeins On Main Street bad bad girl I was my fiance bought me 2 hanks of yarn of Alpaca that the lady spun into a ball for me and a skein of plymouth yarn so -2 there and I think -1 and -1 for the hank of yarn that was spun into a ball correct me if I'm wrong

[econ-nerd]

One more skein busted WTD so far +26

[Ladykats]

Went through another ball of yarn last night. Yeah... And I started working on a blanket that calls for RH yarn in soft white, black, and green. Well I had the Green and Black and thought I had the soft white. Went through my whole stash and couldn't find a cotton pickin' skein of RH soft white Oh, well it won't get added to my score till next week as I am going away today and will be back on Sunday. I can drive by AC Moore's and Michael's as long as I don't walk in. Hmmmm maybe I can get my daughter to go for me. Oh sweetheart do Mommy a favor and pick this up for me. Yeah that's what I will do.

Hi everyone!

 

I want to remind you that we are posting YTD scores this weekend, in addition to WTD, since it's the end of March. I might be slow getting things posted on Sunday, but they will get there. Thanks for your patience.:manyheart

[basjordan]

Thanks for the welcome. I guess I will have another excuse to buy yarn now, not that I need any help with that.

 

Ladies, please! We are supposed to be BUSTING stash, not stashing stash!!! Don't confuse the newcomers!!!:yarn:yarn

[Daugherty4inNC]

Well totally went backwards on my stashbusting score last week as you can see from my sig that I haven't changed yet. Went shopping with the Silver Haired Old Lady (aka Mom) and .. negative score. And it is going to probably go backwards again more this week. Ordered and received 8 skeins of the most beautiful Emerald Green yarn by Caron, and the SHOL wants to go to AC Moore on Saturday for the excellent yarn sale. I have decided that at some time, if I go far enough backwards into the negative that I will be positive again.. it happens in math, why not yarn stashbustin?

[Braxxi]

Yeah! I used up 2 more skeins of yarn yesterday on another baby ghan.

 

Here's the link for pictures of the latest ones, and the ones my grandma made with all the yarn I gave her: http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=97769

I don't just want to join this CAL--I need to! Hmm--I suppose this means I should go buy some yarn, so I have some kind of score for the week!

Just use a skein or ball, or you can stay at zero for this week and start working towards next weeks scores.

I agree with Mandii, use a ball or roll a ball, so you can start off with a + number. Buying yarn gives you - numbers. Stay in the postives as long as you can. HeHe.

 

My goal instead of having big numbers in my YTD is just to stay around 0. I don't have the stash some of these ladies have and I usually have to buy yarn to do or complete a project.

[tani-lai]

Oh, I know--I was just looking for an excuse to buy more. See why I need to be here?

[Mandii]

We all look for excuses to buy more, believe me. I promised my mom that I would crochet a scarf for her friend for her birthday next month and she bought me three skeins of yarn to make it.

[Marzee]

I was AWOL last week, taking Friday off (a use-it-or-loose-it day). Went and played Scrabble and crocheted while my opponent knitted (knit?).

 

This week I finished off the two RHSS skeins that have caused the zeros of the past several weeks, making the never ending VJGC squares. So far now I have finished off the Green and the Blue skeins. Am now moving on to the Yellow skein. I will finish with the Red. All of these RHSS skeins are left over from my VJGC afghan plus a shade (lighter or darker) of the color from stash for a two color 6" granny square.
