Happy Mail Box

There was a happy envelope from Columbus, Indiana waiting for me in my mailbox when I got home today.

What did it contain? More yarn!

That's six skeins of Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in (top row, L-R): Lilac, Mother Lode, and Black Watch. The 'goalie' position is the Koigu Painter's Palette Premium Merino, labelled P133 118A. I'm not sure it's the colorway I remembered from Rob but I really like it. I think my favorite out of these is the Mother Lode. I do love them all.

The Lilac will become the Waving Lace Socks from the current IK, and Rob sent me an interesting pattern called "Railroad Rib Socks" which I will try with one of the other two shades. The KPPPM is, as I mentioned before, destined to try and turn itself into gloves. Do you think if I just put it away on a shelf and wait a few months, it will find its own way into a glove-shaped formation? Or at least does anyone have a recommendation of a decent glove pattern I can use that will fit my (large-ish) hands?

Oooh - I love the Mother Lode Lorna's laces. I've never tried that yarn but the colours look gorgeous. Maybe a little shopping is in order!
