1) Got a Grafton Fibers Fibership spindle with a purple laminate whorl and an osage shaft, and I thought it would be passable at best. It's actually a pretty great little spindle. The whole thing about these is that the whorl comes off so you can pack it away for traveling. The whorl wants to come off whenever the spindle is empty, but once the leader is tied on that's not a problem. I've been using it like crazy.
I also bought this Greensleeves Katherine's Cup in Australian She-Oak, which is a nice spindle but I expected a little more. I'm really not keen on the tiny hook, but it hasn't been a problem or anything.

2) I knitted up the Del Ray mitts in Logwood grey-dyed BFL (pattern from Spindlicity's winter issue) for my trip to Ireland and they came out rather nice. I'll be making that pattern again.
3) Started on EZ's Bog Jacket from Knitting Around for my sister's baby in two-ply Osage-dyed superwash merino I spun up several months ago. It's an awesome little pattern and I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
