Lorna doesn’t rhyme with anything…

Posted by Cheryl on May 11 2007 | 1. Knit on Monday

…but Lace rhymes with place.

And on Thursday, the place was This Is Knit for their grand opening featuring a day of chat with Debbie Bliss. Yes, Ms Bliss herself was in town…wonderfully unassuming.

With superhuman effort, I made quite sensible purchases…yes, I know I have a moratorium on yarn purchases this year…these being Christmas gift supplies not to be found in my stash.

Sensible Purchase Number 1

Lorna’s Laces Lion and Lamb, No. 27 Black Purl. Pristine in its just purchased skein.

Sensible Purchase Number 2

Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Worsted, No. 102 Mineshaft. A ball shabbily and hastily hand-wound. Oops, forgot that the ball winder is packed already!

    Lovely colours - I’d have been tempted (and no doubt would have succumbed) too.

    I didn’t have your restraint at all. I was there at the weekend and ended up with a lot more. I love you choices :)

    I would love to have seen the knitted garments and tried them on. Mind you I’d probably want to knit them all. Which ones were your favourites? :)
