Monkey Socks and Yarn Porn

I have been a bad blogger lately, but with good excuse. My in-laws are visiting this week for DH's graduation, so I have been very busy getting ready for the visit and now entertaining. We have been having a great time seeing all the sites and hanging out, it's amazing how much of the area we get to see when we have company.

My MSS3 package arrived yesterday. Thank you so much Ester for the great package! Included in my package was a very cute hugging monkey and blanket set (which Angelina claimed immediately), a couple of cute scarfs, a pair of slippers, Hersey's cookies, sunglasses, a Chibi needle set, Lang JaWoll, Meilenweit Mega Boots Stretch, Twisted Flower Pattern...and of course my socks. They are awesome. (excuse the cat in the pic, she wants to be famous)

I also have some yarn porn to show off. I'm only going to post pics of my favorites, since I kind or went over board. Yummy yummy yarn porn!

A pic of my most recent WIP...I have joined the bandwagon and started a Chevron Scarf. I am really liking the pattern and the yarn, and it's knitting up pretty quick which is always good.

And last but not least...if you haven't checked these out yet you should. Pink Lemon Twist mentioned these kits on her blog, and I am always looking for a quick Christmas present. They are hat and headband colorwork kits, very cool and for a very reasonable price, $19.95 for the yarn and the kit.
