Oh so many goodies!

After a little mis-shipment, I got my knitpicks package. I got a set of Harmony Interchangeables 5-11 with 3 different lengths of cables. I also got the Harmony Cable needles and the ID tags. I bought some sock yarn for me and E (my first real sock yarn purchase!) and the Harry Potter Knits book.

The Harmony Needles are great, and so far no issues. One had a rough spot where you put the key, but I got out metal fingernail file and fixed that in a matter of seconds.

I finished knitting (but not seaming) one of the girls' hats, and started the mod blanket from Lionbrand. Little thing about that...they took it off their site. I had started on it and was only working on it when I needed some mindless garter stitch time, but when I went to pick it back up again I couldn't find my printout. I wrote them and could luckily give them all the info since I have my lovely ravelry account and they sent me the pattern through email. I was quite impressed, I got the email super fast and with all the info I needed. I couldn't be happier.

I got some cash for a Christmas present, so I went to Sheep's Clothing today since they were open for a couple hours.
I bought:
2 skeins of Blizzard

2 skeins of Cascade 220

2 skeins of Encore Chunky

Some sz 3 dpns & flex needles, a row counter, and Knit Socks!

Sadly (?) I have and will have more gift money to spend, and it's really hard not to want to spend it on knitting stuff. I really need to go through my yarn and donate what I don't want anymore to the girl (I do still want to buy her a knitting loom). Well, I should probably wait to do that until after I make my afghan. I want to use up as much of my old acrylic as I can on the afghan and maybe some toys.
