She also got me some sock needles from knit picks. Can we say hell yes? The green pencil is awesome and I loooove this pattern book. I heart cables! She also made the awesome stitch markers on the pattern book. Very cool. Thank you!!!
Below is the whole kit (minus the hat which will make its way here when her poor wrist recovers.) Thank you Tia you are awesome!!!
Moving on to my NEXT kit, lol. Swaps are so fun. Anyway Hexy is awesome. She sent me so much fun stuff. Below she cross stitched a snitch themed scissor fob and did an amazing job. She sent me stitch markers as well and they are GORGEOUS. The needle protectors will be soooo helpful. Some tea which I can't wait to try and a smiley face keychain to remind me of her. 
She also sent me a ravenclaw cross stitch kit. I can't wait to try it because I do enjoy my cross stitch (I swear I'm not a 90 yr old woman I just have the hobbies of one, lol)
Moving on to something I love dearly a SOCK KIT!!! This yarn is a gorgeous, yummy purple with some wooden dpns (swoon) and a pattern that looks like a lot of fun to knit. :)
Moving finally to the bag which is amazing. I love it. Its felted but still incredibly soft! Its just so amazingly done, I love it!
Below is the whole kit n kaboodle. She really spoiled me rotten. There was chocolate but honestly did anyone actually think that was going to make it into the picture before my mouth? Yeah thats what I thought. :)
Continuing on from kits straight into the fiber porn. :) Below you will see some very squishy, very yummy skeins of Sockpixie yarn. I looooove her yarn she does such an amazing job dying it. :)
More sockpixie fiber but in a different form. I bought some of her roving in the hopes of some day spinning some very usable fiber :) I just love the colors and spinning is so much fun! Yes I am encouraging/enabling you to take your fiber addiction to the next level. :)
Some spinning I have been working on. For christmas I got a louet drop spindle kit and this is the beginner fiber. Its been fun spinning and learning. I'm not great but I'm getting better. With a little more consistent practice I'll be spinning like a pro, lol.
Here are my louet singles in the red color. I am going to try and ply it with the grey and see what happens. :) I have never plied before so cross your fingers and hope for the best lol.
Below are some shots of my socks. This first one I just finished tonight is a shot (not a very good one) of my marilindas. The colors are brighter in real person (sockpixie yarn) But the cables and heel are pretty awesome so I thought I would share. Its a cookie a pattern.
A shot of both socks. :) They are so soft! I love them!
Finally a pic of my Hederas, also a Cookie A pattern. I sent these socks out to my friend Adrienne as a gift. They are pretty awesome socks and I hope she gets a lot of use out of them.
