Yarn packages and goodies

I received my package from Loopy Ewe this morning. This time none of the yarn is for me... it's all for my Christmas gifts this year. I'm going to start this weekend and hopefully, I'll be able to finish before Christmas. I hope the recipients will like the finished items. As in the usual Loopy fashion, I received a Loopy Red Sock kit and a couple of DIC yarn sample cards. I have made quite a few mini socks, now I'll have a cute loopy red sock to add to my collection. :)
I got some Panda Cotton and Opal Cotton sock yarn and a hank of Cascade 220.
Cascade 220 in Silver Gray
Panda Cotton in Granite
Opal Cotton #2505

Oh, my second package arrived some time ago.... I forgot to post the photo:
It was the Halloween package!

Oh wow! It's been so long since my last post....

I joined an online club, this was my first package:
and this was the result.... a cute, little sock:

Some of my latest FOs are a pair of Fetching fingerless gloves and a snuggly cowl. I used the Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran..... it's soo soft. :)
This was my first time working with Debbie Bliss Cashmerino and I found that it fuzzes a lot. I have read that it is the norm for this yarn so maybe next time I'll try another brand.

I'm currently working on the Featherweight cardigan with the Malabrigo lace yarn. It's coming along slowly.... I'll post a photo soon when I have the chance.
