100 - 1

This box came from Japan on 25 March, Thursday, around 9.40am at my doorstep. I was expecting to receive my online purchase yarn from Pierrot Yarns 5-7 days after I placed my order on the 23 March, Tuesday.


I was surprised to see the box in just less than 3 days. I always believe in excellent service and fast delivery in any purcahse. I'll give a THUMB UP for Pierrot Yarns

When I received the box, I was so happy, To Open or Not to Open!!

I enjoys the moment of waiting. The joy of looking forward to and the joy of having it right in front of me is totally different. Even though i know what is inside.

What has to be open has to be open, finally after much struggling, I did this -

Jayne took the picture of me doing so - and here they are 99 balls of yarns.

Out of the 99balls, 7 balls are Ethnic Denim, 12 balls are cotton Neat and the rest are the Soft Merino Fingering yarn.

I was given a booklet of the 2010 Spring Summer Collection.

HAPPY DANCING

New Buy

This year, I have decided to join the IntSweMoDo2010 marathon in Ravelry . The rule is that to finish 1 Adult size sweater/top in every month, hence 12 sweaters in 2010.

With this goal in mind, I started to do some online purchase, and all the packages arrive safe on time in my letter box.

Elsabeth Lavold Hempathy

This was my second time ordered the Elsabeth Lavold Hempathy, as the first package went "missing in action", I don't know where went wrong, I never get to see my purchase.

It has been almost 7 months now, I really hope it will be return to me as a "returned post".

This time, after I send in my order, I was very uneasy, feeling "up and down". What if, this package MIA again !! Luckily this time, it CAME.

I like the 40%Hemp, 40%Cotton, 20%Modal Rayon in Pink Fauve, suitable for the weather now.

After this successful buy, I started my shopping spree again. This time is the all time favourite -the 100% Superwash Merino Wool, in Briar (purple tone) with a generous 225 yards per skien, enough for a cardigan
.

Madelinetosh

I am thinking of a summer top, cotton yarn would be great. So, the third purchase is the Pierrot Cotton Neat. in Drab Green.
