mmmm Lorna's Laces

One of my first orders arrived yesterday, Lorna's Laces in Black Purl colourway.

I've heard a lot of good things about Lorna's Laces sock yarn and I can totally see why. The colourway is really nice and its going to look great as a pair of Mermaid Gloves:

BlackPurl


Which (fingers crossed) will look something like this:

The yarn came in this envelope, which is only the size of a normal buisness size letter. The yarn was crammed in there so tight! For a moment I had no idea what it was!!

packaging

I've had to frog Orangina three times now because I keep stuffing up the lace stitches. I didnt believe people when they said they'd had the same problem! I'm going to get one repeat right then put in a lifeline this time. Luckily i hadnt gotten very far before frogging those times.

I'm hoping that one of my other packages will be waiting for me when I get home today too - sigh, the wait is so long :)
