Well it looks like Santa heard me! Look what I got in the mail today:
Sorry the picture doesn't do this beautiful yarn justice. It's Nirvana Superwash Merino in Hydroponic. If the yarn looks familiar, it may be because the Yarn Harlot herself posted pics of the socks she made with it. I totally fell in love with the colour, but because of the new very tight budget, I couldn't buy it. Thank you so much Melanie, you are fantastic!
I think I'm going to use the yarn with a simple sock pattern like this one (PDF file)... What do you guys think?
In other news, I have a little WIP report for you. Unfortunately, I have not yet finished my pink mittens:
The picture shows mitten #2. It's almost done, really. I should finish it in the next day or two, depending on if I'm working tomorrow or not (my boss is a bit late with the schedule this week).
The reason why the mitten isn't finished? I've been working on this:
The Woven Cable scarf (I'm too lazy to link the pattern, scroll down a post or two and you'll find it). I'm using the same yarn I was using with the now-frogged Woven Trellis scarf and let me tell you, I like this new pattern so much more! It's very easy to memorize but it's not boring like the Woven Trellis was. I have no idea if I'll finish it before spring, but I'll try!
I gotta go now but I'll be back later this week to answer some questions that were asked in comments. So if you have any question for me, comment!

Glad you finally got your yarn!! I think the pattern you linked would look awesome.
Love the Woven Cables scarf too. Mine was such a blast to knit, and fast too.
Gah! I'm drooling over that green yarn...thinking I must get myself some. And I don't do socks! Scarf looks great too.
Wow, what an awesome Christmas gift. That pattern will be great with that yarn (thanks for reminding me about it, actually)!
