I never cared much about postal strikes until now

Recently I have been making quite a few yarn purchases as I've been inspired to start lots of new projects. A new sweater for Lewis (don't worry I've already passed the boyfriend sweater curse!), some surprise socks, some tights for me (very exciting project!), a super soft shrug of merino and cashmere, and some swat team kitties!

So I never paid too much attention to postal strikes until now - coming home from work everyday expecting to find a parcel waiting for me only to have my hopes crushed when I walk through the door is rubbish:(



But this post is to celebrate the arrival of some very pretty yarn that I got yesterday:


It's called Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in Baltic Sea colourway which I'll be using to knit some tights! Not wanting to waste a moment I immediately wound one of the skeins into a ball, now I just need to wait for my needles to arrive in the post...!! :)
