Today was my knitting group’s annual stash exchange! 

 Before any yarn was chosen:

  
 
This years’s Sorting Hat was this amazing gravity-defying feat of yarn and twinkly lights knit by Janice and modeled here by Tracey.

   
There was Wii (?) action:

Jessica with her one month-old baby!
   
After the orderly exchange and later what we call the Free for All, the table was pretty bare!

I wish I’d taken a photo of the yarn I took to the exchange, but alas, I forgot.

Here are the goodies I took home!
  
I was particularly delighted that one knitter was de stashing lots of colorful worsted weight wool- perfect for bear knitting! I mentioned before how I always seem to leave the stash exchange with giant amounts of mint green acrylic that take me ages to knit into bears…. well, not this time! ☺️
