Knitters Without Borders Sock
I started a new sock with some Socks that Rock, in the Knitters without Borders colorway I got a few years back at MD Sheep & Wool.
Since STR is thicker than the average sock yarn, for once I don't have to work with 00 needles to get the gauge and drape I like. Just regular old size 0!

Hulk Spin!
The second pink and green sock is at last done:
I spun some wool on the new-to-me Schact spindle. I love the color name: Gamma Ray.

More Green Things
I had to rip back quite a bit of the baby kimono, since I had made the back too short. While I moped about that, I made a wee hat:
I also finished up some half-spun Gales Art BFL I inherited from Erica:
It's striking shade of green!

New to Me Spindles
I love shopping online at the Ravelry forums. Here are a few recent finds:
These two hefty spindles are good for making chunky yarn, though they were likely originally intended for plying.

Ceres
I worked on 4 oz of Spincerely Yours merino/bamboo/nylon blend in the color "Ceres."
I love how it came out looking like fluffy dirty moss.

A Side of Kimono
I'm almost done with the pink and green sock, but I'm also working on this baby cotton kimono. It was supposed to be the baby kimono from the Mason Dixon Knitting, but I couldn't find my copy in all my clutter, so I just improvised. I'll need to add some length to both the sleeves and the body. I'm thinking of doing so with a bit of Tunisian crochet after seaming.
