The things I ordered online arrive yesterday... FINALLY.  I ordered from Jimmy Beans Wool:
 NORO Kureyon Sock Yarn, Panda Soy and a couple size 0 Bamboo circulars.  This time my order came with a little surprise..... some candy!    :)

My first thought of the Noro Kureyon Sock Yarn, it's not as soft as I thought it would be. To me, it feels a bit straw-like and it has a real rustic, natural look. I read online that washing does soften it up a bit.... we'll see how it goes when I start working with it. I was originally thinking of making a pair of socks but now, I'm thinking maybe it's better to make a shawl or scarf.
 I also ordered from the Loopy Ewe, it was my first time ordering from them.  I have heard good things about their quick, friendly service and also extras with each order.  Surely, this package did not disappoint.  I bought some Panda Cotton sock yarn and also decided to try out the Hiya Hiya needles.  The Hiya Hiya circulars came with a free hat pattern.

The package came opened and it was taped up. I was so worried that things might be missing from it, but luckily everything was intact apart from the invoice. The extras I got with my order - some yummy looking yarn samples and a needle inventory chart.
