[TammyG]

I'm thinking on joining, but there is no way I could get my entire stash in one photo . I did buy a skein of handpainted angora/merino/nylon today...

Sorry to be behind in posting scores - craziness around here the past few days.

 

OK, let me get this updated - and this will likely be the final tally for the week unless someone jumps in right here at the end

 

Unless we have a late-comer, it looks like

 

EMERALDJAYNE is our winner!!!

 

EmeraldJayne -- 90 (80 points for 40 skeins, 10 bonus points)

 

Krazy-Kitty --- 47

 

DavaJ --- 38

 

Ferretlady --- 30

 

Fc1123 --- 4 (you said you had "4" - did you mean four points, or did you have four full skeins?)

 

 

I meant 4 points but now I have to add another 4 points for a total of 8 points because I got 2 more skeins of yarn

Please join in! Your new skein just got you 2 points. The main gist of the game is just sharing any new yarn you have added to your stash each week.

 

Posting photos of your *entire* stash is totally optional & is for additional bonus points - and can take however many photos you need to show it all. (I don't think ANY of us yarn-a-holics could fit our entire stash into one photo!) But again, sharing your whole stash is just for the fun of letting everyone see who's the worst packrat of all! :lol:D You'll get the bonus points for making the effort & giving us the enjoyment of seeing your photos! But you can play the game all the time without ever sharing your whole stash - it's just up to you.

 

The basic game is to share any *new additions* to your stash - since us yarn addicts cannot refrain from acquiring new yarn all the time, no matter how much we already have!

Same here, I wanted to start Fri or Sat, but by the time we finished with car stuff, took trip to DDs house & PO, and then back home & moved stuff around to get to the tubs I was so beat I was in bed by 8pm. Spent today getting AC in window, (not an easy feat for an Old Cro like me) just to find out the remote is missing and I couldn't turn it onto cool. It's 88 degrees in my Den . Now it's time to attempt dinner and I am really pooped. Bruised on my upper arms from all the lifting. Have 2 boxes of yarn that came in last week and I haven't even opened them!!! ...This have been one very, very hectic weekend. I did get to do a couple of rows of my sox while in the car though, so not a total loss, I think .

I received another package of yarn today, 1 partial skein and 7 full skeins:cheer

 

Photo of all the yarn I have received this week, the kitten I already had:lol

 

 

I don't think I will receive any more yarn this week, so I need to go and work out this weeks total and put it in my sigi.

Still have to upload them, but should have it all done tomorrow.

I am getting ready to move, so I've managed to get MOST of the stash in one place. Here it is in all it's glory. Picture 1 is the stash, Picture 2 is the bins of stuff I've made that's done, picture 3 is my wips, picture 4 is just a close up of pic 1's stash, and pic 5 is my ribbon yarn. I hope you don't mind my posting here. I already belong to the stashbuster cal, but this seemed the place to share my hidden shamejoy.
