Yet another Boston area knitblogger made it to Knitsmiths this week: Shannon from La Gringa Tejadora . With Kerstin and Sandy getting to be regulars, that means we've taken over about 40% of the group. (Mwaahaaahaaa.) And both Shannon and Gina wore their newly finished ChicKamis!

In addition to seeing all the amazing things that the gals have recently finished, I always seem to pick up something cool at knitting group too. Last week, one of the Knitsmiths brought in some tweedy wool to give away. A lot of it. Plus, an almost finished sweater. Wool in need of a good home? How could I refuse? Only one little problem - this wool seems to have run into the smelly end of a few mothballs. Any tips on how to rid it of the odor? (I've already got a few Bounce dryer sheets in the bags with the wool!)

And in another clearing out the closet moment, Nancy brought in this little gem: a pouch of yarn! I'm embarrassed to admit how cool I think this is. It's OLD yarn from Bernat, but the yarn's not the really cool part. It's the bag, which is like a little bread bag. Check out the instructions for the pouch. And here's the hi-tech closure. It IS a bread bag! It's both hilarious and kind of clever. I love it!
