WIPs all around!

I hate it when I have a whole post typed out and it poofs.

With that said.  Here was the ghist (sp?) of my post.

I finished my first sock

I soon after finished it's mate and have been addicted to socks ever since.

To feed my addiction to socks, I went shopping with my mom to a LYS recently (very dangerous, we've been known to get out of hand).  I walked away with 6 skeins of Lorna's Laces (found 2 colorways for myself then felt bad for DH.  Bought a colorway for him too so we'd both end up with two pairs of beautiful socks to run around the house in).  I have began to knit up a skein as seen below

I'm knitting up Dublin Bay Socks with the first skein seen here.  So far so good... as good as an inch of rib can be anyways.

I am also religiously working on Yarn Harlot's Snowdrop Shawl. I love it and the yarn looks beautiful.  This one deserves a FO shot for sure.  I'll show yah once its in that pile!

Last point of lost post, Mom and I splurged on some amazingly beautiful yarn. 
Its called Mariel's Crystals and is made from 100% silk with Swarovski Crystals. REAL SWAROVSKI CRYSTALS!

I'm so in love.  I won't mention the price.

I'm not sure what to make.  I'm considering a belt or an open lacey scarf. Any suggestions? I only have 120yrds.

Finally...

I hope your holiday was as delicious and fun as ours

And I hope you are anticipating the arrival of spring as much as me!
