Stash Enhancements and Two FOs!

I have been shopping for beautious yarn for the last week and a half and I think it is time to share what I have gotten. Some is from my LYS that is closing, some is from KnitPicks and all are fabulous (at least to me)
First I would like to share my Malabrigo yarn and an FO made from it! I have 5 hanks of this yarn and it is awesome! It is 100%, single ply Merino wool and it is so soft and squishy! I just love how it feels and it knits up quick.




And of course the finished objects that I made from this Malabrigo yarn. I loved this pattern, it was quick and easy and pretty =). It is called the Amanda Hat and you can find it on Ravelry. I did it in this orange yellow color because I wanted to knit something bright, and believe me it is bright! the picture doesn't do it justice!

Next I i got a whole bunch of yarn on knit picks for my birthday. My mom got it for me =), I am going to use the bare sock yarn to try my hand at dying with koolaide.....we will see how that goes.



And lastly I just bought so sock yarn from my LYS and it is very pretty =), I beleive the brand is happy feet, I can't wait to start some socks with it....i should probably finish the ones I am already working on first.....no time!!!


And last but not least my finished sock!! yay!!! It took me forever to sit down and actually finish and now I have to do the second one! ickk.....but i am gonna do it! They are a gift =(...Sorry about the picture quality, I had to snap it quick at work.
Well thats all I had to show. If you are interested in any brands or colorways I will be posting all of these on Ravelry eventually, I just need to find the time and the tags to do it haha.
