Well, I feel like I haven't had much in the way of exciting knit content in a while, but with the final touches put on my submission for Spun I can get back to my public knitting.

Firstly, my order from Elann arrived.

I have 20 balls of this amazing yarn
I really don't know what I'm going to make yet, but if anyone has some suggestions, don't hesitate to comment. I also have that great Optimum I got from Soy Silk in a similar color. Expect a lot of dark purple in my near future.
Actually, I have an embarrassment of yarn I need to put to good use. There's almost so much that I don't know what I want to start with.

I must find time for this all while trying to manage a crazy month ahead in which we will be rolling out a new system to 75 users over 6 sites from The Valley to OC. I'm expecting little "me time" to come.

On the topic of dark purple, check out this artichoke (I have 4 total).

They are purple and allege to have "almost no choke, almost no thorns and cook faster." What more could I ask for?

For those of you who remember that shruggy wrappy thing I made last year, the wedding pics are finally online.
Catch 'em here, here, here and here

I also wanted to throw in a picture of Panda after we ran her ragged at a beach in Ventura.
