New Yarn, Finished Project, Upcoming Knitting Projects

Had a great weekend knitting wise! Finished a project, got some new needles, and acquired some new yarn!

First, I pick up my new Zephyr Options Interchangeable set form KnitPicks. I'm really excited about these. I've been wanting a KnitPicks set for a while and the $10 coupon code that Nicole emailed me was the push I needed to finally order some.

Second, in the same order I also got some DK Gloss in Fairy Tale so I could finish the Christmas present I have been working on for my mom (yes I know it is April). I made her a Meret hat and actually gave it to her on Christmas Day, but had not yet finished the matching scarf and mittens. I finally finished the scarf yesterday and now I'm working on the mittens.

Third, I acquired some new yarn from Rachel's de-stashing efforts. New yarn always makes me happy, free new yarn makes me ecstatic! Here are my fantastic new additions to my stash:

In return I am going to do some knitting for Rachel, who does very little knitting for herself. This will become a Meret and matching fingerless mittens:

And these will become socks:

I need to get busy with my knitting! Lately work and homework has gotten in the way of my crafting, but April vacation is just around the corner and then summer vacation will be here before we know it. I should do some de-stashing of my own. I think I need to do some serious spring cleaning and organizing over April vacation.
