Help me decide...

Someone PM'ed me over at Ravelry.  She had ordered the last skein of Tranquil (from Fiberphile) from The Loopy Ewe and noticed that I had a skein the same time she bought hers and wondered if I'm willing to let go of mine.  Well, to tell you the truth, I have 2 other skeins that are quite similar.  I have no plans for Tranquil.  So, should I give it up?  Here's Tranquil...

Here's Bugga in Blue Stink Bug and Familiar Bluet...

And here's Squoosh Fiberarts in Sargasso...

What do you think?  (Christy - you don't have to respond - I know you would give it up for nothing!)  Should I give it up?

=================================================================

Time for arithmetic lessons...  First, the zero points.  Dianne (woohoogirl) - zero points for sock club yarn (like water, diet soda), zero points for other-than-sock-yarn like worsted (like veggies), and zero points for gifted or replacement (as in trade) yarn (like spices - salt, pepper).  2 skeins of sock yarn that are needed to make a pair  = 1 point.

Here are a couple skeins of sock club yarn from Hazel Knits.  I was so thrilled I haven't looked up their names!

Close up:

Then, these Bugga in Milkweed Beetle and Western Grapeleaf Skeletonizer arrived:

Then, I sent my Travel Swap package off to Susan in Buffalo. 

 

Each item has a special meaning, e.g. the Money notecards reminded me of my trip to Paris at the Musee de l'Orangerie:

where the Monet waterlilies were displayed so beautifully and it was a truly amazing experience to look at these paintings in those rooms.  The shawl pin is also a kilt pin I picked up in London.  The project bag was from a fabric I picked out and had Michele from Three Bags Full make.  Susan is a ziploc gal and let's see if she'll use it! The Meliae Shawl that I knitted, the puppy snips that look like the Eiffel Tower! And the yarn and needle that had nothing to do with the trip. I felt she needed another Work in Progress and well, I don't care for Bamboo in my yarn and she does, so there, she can have it...

Then, Marianne from Netherlands would like these from my destash page... 

and

And so, I ask you, my friends... what is my yarnwatchers points at?  The person with the correct number will receive a skein of yarn from me (so I MINUS one!).  In case of a tie, we will have to ask the random number generator... I will check answers on Wed. Oct 27.  Any new yarns would not be counted between now and Wed, Oct 27.  Get counting!

The key is "I have no plans for Tranquil." Send it -- you'll feel good about making someone else happy.

In terms of the points....HK Coleus and the green one = 0 because they're yarn club. Western Grapeleaf Skeletonizer is 2, Milkweed is 1, which = 3 But you're sending a skein to your swap partner (-1), and you're destashing 2 Lorna's Laces (1 point for the 2 50-g skeins) in two different colours = -2. So your total for today is Zero.

So your total is still +21.

My completely uneducated guess will be 19, because I have been "Brainwashed" and I am your minion.

I'd say give up the tranquil since you have no plans for it. You can replace it later if you decide you miss it. And it would be a -1 :-)
I agree with Pinky, I think your total is 21 also. And there's nothing wrong with some vegetables in your yarn diet ;-) In fact, you might need more! LOL

The total is definitely 21, and I would give up the tranquil too (which would make your total 10 :)).

[Allison]

You're still at 21!! :)

I agree -- 20 if you gave up the Fiberphile Tranquil.
